Replying to: mavstang73 (Jun 23, 2006 9:48 am) Well, the cars port in at San Diego. From there to phoenix took about 6 days, so to New York could take another week. Replies to this message: dewaltdakota (Jun 23, 2006 1:06 pm) jmurman42 (Jun 23, 2006 1:48 pm) hungarian83 (Jun 23, 2006 1:51 pm)

Replying to: fitman548 (Jun 23, 2006 11:26 am) My car came into the USA via the Port of Baltimore, then trucked to my dealership in Virginia from there. The thought of a NY Fit coming into the USA through San Diego seems a little strange. Replies to this message: jmurman42 (Jun 23, 2006 1:48 pm) hungarian83 (Jun 23, 2006 1:51 pm)

Replying to: dewaltdakota (Jun 23, 2006 1:06 pm) No...your car came to the Port of Baltimore after being on a train from the west coast. The delivery was made to your dealership from the Port of Baltimore.

Replying to: dewaltdakota (Jun 23, 2006 1:06 pm) "The thought of a NY Fit coming into the USA through San Diego seems a little strange."   I would highly doubt that is the case. I think all Fits are transported to a large port in the region. I wouldn't be surprised if the NY Fit would be taken by ship all the way to New York...or maybe a port in New Jersey? (Sorry, I don't know much about that region )   My car's Port of Entry was San Diego, but then again that is where the dealership is too.
#462 of 2420 My Fit Got Away by nofitforme Jun 23, 2006 (2:41 pm)
Placed an order on May 9th with dealer A. When I learned it wouldn't be in the dealership until late August, I started looking around. Lo and behold, another local dealer had the exact one I wanted. I offered to pay MSRP and he accepted the offer. I got my deposit back from dealer A and went to dealer B. Now dealer B wanted me to buy a bunch of add-ons to increase his profit margin. $1400 worth of add-ons to be exact.   I left and bought a Mazda 6. I paid 17046 delivered plus document fees and tax. I'm happy to have a nice car and be out of the Fit rat race.

Replying to: skikidd (Jun 22, 2006 8:20 am) Oxford/Anniston, AL-- Sunny King Honda has had MT- base model. Two of their first four in May were manual (at least one MT was Base). We saw the Fit, were really curious, and test drove an automatic. As for our pick of the crop, the salesman told us that the dealership was not able to request models. They would get what they get. (The base was not very attractive to me at all.) I think they sold all 4 of the May shipment. We went to the dealership a couple of weeks later and didn't see any. As of 6/18 they had a MT. Don't know if it was base model. (After I saw there was no armrest in the Fit, I decided I did not want one. I drive a lot and need that silly little piece of equipment. Then later I found out the gas tank is under the front seats. Scary!) Good luck.

Replying to: gearhead1 (Jun 19, 2006 3:09 pm) Thanks for your great breakdown. What was the $ destination fee?

It's from Japan, does it matter?
#466 of 2420 Washington order & Honda policy by seattlewa Jun 25, 2006 (11:05 pm)
During the first week of May, at a dealership near Seattle, I signed an order request and made a deposit on a base Fit, automatic transmission, lunar mist metallic, beige interior. As of today, no build date has been set.   If anyone else from Washington has bought a Fit, or is waiting on an order, I'd appreciate knowing how your buying experience has been.   For those of you who are Honda sales reps, I'd like to know how Honda decides when to build particular models and exterior/interior colors. Also, what factors are involved in Honda deciding whether a dealer's order is to be filled, and if an order is to be filled, what determines when a particular dealer will be provided a build date? Thanks. Replies to this message: jmurman42 (Jun 26, 2006 4:40 am) seattlewa (Jun 26, 2006 8:47 pm)
