Hey fitrn hang in there. You are going to get your fit and you won’t regret the wait. Rant with the words all you want, it’s Okay, as long as it helps you clean out the cobwebs. Lets look at the positives, you do have a VIN number, and sales guy is tracking the vehicle. My buddy got a VIN number with his fit in Japan and it took a month before he got it. He did get it exactly the way he wanted it. Please let us know when you get it so we can all celebrate. In your words I can feel the pain.

Three Fits sitting on the lot in Alabama by countrymom

One of our keys is "hiding" some place so I finally broke down and bought another key yesterday. All this to say there were three Fits sitting on the lot... All AT. When did they start making an AT that isn't a Sport? It was a lot less than the Sport...
 
One more thing make sure you check around if you lose a key. The dealer we bought the car from wanted $160 plus tax for a new key. I went to a dealer on the other side of town and only paid $85 including tax...
 
Thanks,
mimi

The base Fit has been available with a 5-speed automatic since the car's introduction to the U.S. last spring.

Thanks, I never new that... I guess since it was the car my son wanted and was so hard to find we didn't due enough research. Are there many AT base Fits out there? Thanks, mimi

Then I checked a few days after the 20th after not hearing anything from the salesman and was shown a sheet that showed it didn't even leave japan until Mar 18 and was due no later than April 4th.
 
Didya get it yet?
 
You will love it more and more each time you get in to drive it and every time you fill up the tank.
 
It will be nice knowing you got the car that you wanted.
 
Especially so since it is a car that will probably run at least another 10-15 years, and you may own it that long and hopefully problem free as it is with Hondas.
 
Good luck and keep us posted!

I live in bay area too, and I have been looking a Fit Sport for my wife about a month. All of the dealers here are asking the mark-up price,
 
Sunnyvale: MSRP + $3000
Stevens Creek: MSRP + $2000
Fremont: MSRP + $1995
 
It is very frustrating to us who just want to pay MSRP. Also, they are so many hidden fee, like Doc fee, License fee, and the dealers will never tell you the truth until the end.
 
Who live in bay area and get a fair price (or a better dealer) on Honda Fit? Please help us! Thanks!

Call (or email) the internet department at Manly Honda in Santa Rosa. It may be a bit of a drive, but they are selling Fits at MSRP and they seem to have them is stock most of the time. I special ordered mine and it to them six weeks to get it.

Fit Buying 101 in New York by racerski

The big factor in ordering a Fit and getting the Fit you want is, settling for a color, Manual Transmission in a base model, or a base model with an automatic. I think 90 percent of the Fits are AT sports. From my phone calls to 19 dealers with the 19 call finding my Fit it seemed there were no manual transmissions of the cars they had in stock. Most of the sales people said MT was extremely difficult to get. I have learned that the dealer that sells the most cars gets the largest allocation and if dealers get the allocation within a period of time they can’t even order one. That is what happened to me in my first order where the sales guy told me he ordered it but I found out he never did since after 6 weeks I didn’t get a VIN number for the car. Japan gives the VIN number to the dealer of the cars that will be delivered. The car takes 6 to 8 weeks from the build date. I hope this helps people get a better understanding of this vehicle that everyone seems to want.

I bought mine in the Atlanta metro area, but this still makes me feel really lucky that I got the exact Fit I wanted, without having to order it. The Internet Sales Manager knew what I wanted, but I was so hesitant to finalize the process that she just went ahead and got the car to the dealership without me, and then told me when it was there (a couple of weeks later), knowing I'd probably buy it, or if not, she could certainly sell it. Smart move on her part, and I'm super happy. Silver MT Sport.
 
I was going to get a Matrix, but I hated that there were so many options to choose from that weren't standard, and packages, and I couldn't find one with all I wanted. Plus, the Fit is just nicer, I think.
