Dealers around here are getting a couple of Fits each month. Since I already test drove both a manual base Fit as well as the Sport auto, I decided to go with the auto Sport. I called around and one dealer has one coming in on Nov 11, so I put down a $500 deposit over the phone with my credit card and when it comes in I'll pick it up at the MSPR price. Pretty easy.
 
Hmmm, I suppose I could have called around more but I figured one was already on the way. The problems with the local dealers as I see it are that there are two or three people lined up on every car, and I guess I dont feel like being third when I can get exactly what I want with what I want it with.
 
I have a dealer other then what I put payment down with, and she called me a while back but by the time I checked messages and called her back the car in the color I didnt want withthe wrong tranny came in and went out at her dealership.
 
So thats where I am at.
 
I dunno if calling the dealer every day will help.
I check autotrader periodically and NOONE here on the east coast has one within an hour or two. (which is about all the time I would spare for the exact car I want colorwise, and i wont budge on the manual)

Fit Arrival by jacksan1

My wife's Fit Sport (AT, Milano Red) is arriving on either Monday the 6th or Tuesday the 7th, our dealership in Minnesota has just informed us. We placed our deposit on August 23. It's been about an 11-week wait for the delivery. Not too bad for a Fit. Our salesperson said that it would have been a six month wait had we waited until now to order the same thing. She also said that an MT is virtually an impossibility right now.

It makes me not too sad I am waiting for a manual.
 
Over the hump now.

There's a Fit on display at Lorenz Honda in Greenfield, Mass. Automatic, grey. Sticker around 15,200. Cute!

Waiting too long? by bucknroses

Put my deposit down for a Red Sport A/T. at Ron Tonkin in Portland on May 30. Still don't have a delivery date. Last time I talked to my dealer they said build date would be Nov. 27. Anyone else had to wait this long. The only thing that has kept me from going elsewhere is that other dealers in the area are charging over MSRP.

I know that there is a wide variance in delivery from a region to another region, and from one dealership to another dealership. But still, your case seems to be on the slow side.
 
I live in Minneapolis-St. Paul. We put down our deposit for the exactly the same thing (Milano Red Sport A/T) on August 23, and we took the delivery on November 8. I am a sample of one, so this may not be all that helpful to know. But then again, my gut tells me that your order is a little too slow to be filled.

I'm in southwest Ohio, and I called a couple of dealers asking if they had any silver, Sport with auto Fits coming in. The third dealer I called said they had one coming in a couple of weeks, and I just picked it up yesterday. I had already test drove the auto and manual, sport and base Fits, so I knew what I wanted. But I had another dealer calling to let me know there were a couple of Fits coming. Mostly the Sport version. At first I didn't want the Sport version because of the side skirts, but they're actually not so funny looking, at least on the Silver color, and I have a pretty steep drive and nothing scraped coming home, but we'll see how it is in the snow. It's really not that much lower.
