Wow, looks like I finally have a build date. Should have our FEH near the end of March. bjcarter, one of the posters a page or two back had some links to production wait times. One of the links also showed the startup dates for the 2009 FEHs. If my memory is correct, they started accepting orders in May sometime. |

This link does NOT show 2009 build/lead times, only 2008. Is there one for 2009 models? https://www.wheels.com/fleet/reference/assembly/html/assembly_lines.asp

There's also a comment at the bottom that says dates are estimates and subject to change. Hope that helps.

I am very excited as I picked up my new FEH today. I ordered it at the end of August last year. In B.C. there is a $1500 tax credit so I only had to pay $3.12 provincial (state) sales tax. Although I had to pay federal tax, I understand there is a $2000 government rebate for the FEH (as well as other hybrids and fuel efficient cars) which I am going to apply for. The link for anyone (Canadians) who have not applied for this rebate is: http://www.tc.gc.ca/programs/environment/ecotransport/ecoautoinformation.htm

Hello everyone, I am hope the 2009 FEH will be the very first car I buy on my own. Over the past couple of months, I have contacted dealers regarding the 2008 models but as my need to make a large down payment has increased, the 2009 models will be out when I am ready to purchase. My questions is, if dealerships are currently accepting paper work orders for the hybrid, does this give me less bargaining power because the care isn't actually on the lot? Is their less incentive for the dealer to come down in price because they are essentially special ordering the care based on whatever accessories I want with it? I think it's harder to negotiate when the actual car isn't even being produced yet. What leverage does a buyer have? As a first time buyer, any adv ice you can offer will help.
