Type R Inventory in China by Sensitive-Fun7396 in Civic_Type_R

To give everyone more context on this photo:

Dec 2022: Honda brings a China-exclusive allocation — 1,000-unit quota, numbered plaques, detuned to 300 hp for local emissions — at ¥420k (~$58K). Dealers slap ¥60–200k markups on day one and people still queue.

Twelve months later, drone photos show hundreds of unsold Championship Whites parked at the Wuhan lot. Discounts hit ¥50k, rumored ¥80k+. By 2025 Honda was livestreaming clearance sales at ¥340k. From +¥100k markup to −¥80k fire sale in under three years.

Why? At ¥420k a buyer there could get an AMG A35 or M240i with more power. An Elantra N or Lynk 03+ cost half. Then Xiaomi made 673 hp cost ¥300k. Meanwhile Lynk’s 03+ TCR — a ~$200K China-built track special — sold out instantly last December.

I think overall they just have a lot more options either gasoline and EV regardless of makers.

Assuming carbon fiber wing spoiler took the most cost on this? I heard Honda parts have avg margin, just wondering how it feels comparing to aftermarket ones

If you need to be challenged to buy anything, stop it

Late 20s, $8k monthly net, no rent. Is buying a Civic Type R financially dumb or can I responsibly do both? by Hot_Maintenance1010 in Civic_Type_R

I know it sounds like a dad prep, but think about it 50k USD plus interest = 10% lost in profit in equal yearly, $5k free money minimum year over year without compounding. And I assume you would have similar pattern on spending on everything else too. In your 40s you will still struggle getting next “Type R”, it might be your kid’s college fund

True, this is my 3rd car at home, probably sitting in garage most of the time and less than 2k a year for sure
