Waiting in New York City by racerski

The name of the dealers I finally purchased my Honda fit was Huntington Honda in Long Island New York 40 miles from New York City where I live. Supposedly they are the 4th largest Honda dealer in the US. I believe it, since they were the only dealer that had 6 Fits in stock with two Lunar Mists, one AT and one MT. Most dealers had one or two with many not having any in stock. Since I looked at all the cars within the class of the fit I will rate them as the best. The salesman was not pushy and very nice and accommodating with personnel e-mail where I could send him messages. The others dealers only had one e-mail address for the dealership. When I picked up the car they had roses for my wife and a big red bow on the rear view mirror. Since the car was for her birthday present it went over very big.

Waiting on edge for my fit! by fitrn

I placed an order for a Nighthawk Black AT Sport on Feb 20 for $16,245.00 from a local dealership. It was due in on Mar 20 but seems it left Japan around that time and is due by the first week of April. The dealership charges $75 prep fee preprinted on the deposit sales receipt. They have assured me no dealer add ons will be thrown on. I must say I googled Fits for 100 miles and not a single dealership had one on the lot. Last week I tried again and two fits were found, 1 blue woth lots fo "sprty stuff" as I was told for $18,500 AT Sport.. and another dealership was asking $17,500 AT sport. I have done my hoemwork with Edmunds and Im obsessed!! I have prearranged financing so the dealership can't toss in some extra fees... Im on edge!

Getting this car is like a test of endurance and determination to get the one you want. I was so determined to get this car I would have gone farther than 100 miles to get this Fit.
 
Did you get an actual start build date?? Did you get the VIN number along with the actual start build date? I was told by my first dealer that I would get a VIN number so I could track where the car in transit. The one I got was build January 27, 2007 and was at the dealer March 2 the day I called the 19 dealers to find a Lunar Mist MT Fit. I purchased it March 3. This car is in such demand I can’t believe how lucky I am to get the color and the Manual Trans I wanted at MSRP. Totals were $14,445.00 plus sales tax $1,246.00 printed on the sales slip $12.50 waste tire management fee and $45.00 for processing license and registration total out the door $15,758.50. We are very happy with the deal and having a great time.

Yes Racerski, I second that on determination!! I googled over 100 Miles (I think Im obsessed at this point)! You got a great deal on your fit and I'm soo happy for you after the long wait, it gives me hope
 
I finally go the vin last week.. How can I track the car?? I'm going to check out honda websites to see where I can track it but if ya have any ideas please let me know I actually test drove a scion xA today just in case the fit doesn't work out... going to test drive a Yaris soon too but I do have my heart set on the fit. Hopefully all will work out. Hopefully it will be in this week.

Is the Fit worth the price or wait? I can get a pretty loaded sport Ford Focus for $12700. I haven't priced the yaris or the Nissan offering and The Scion XA seems about the same price.

fitrn, Please get the car you have your heart set on. I looked at every car within the class of the Fit and always gravitated back to the Fit. This car was for my wife and she would not settle for any other car color and neither would I. My car is a Honda Pilot and we are driving the Fit over the Pilot that sits in the garage. My wife did have her 21-year-old Honda Civic Wagon that she loves. Maybe if we were desperate for a car like so many other people we would settle. Maybe my area (New York City) has bigger dealer with more cars. The dealer I finally got the car in was the forth largest in the USA with 6 fits in stock. Most of the dealers I called didn’t have any and some with one or two. What State are you in?
 
Good luck and don’t give up!

take my advice for what its worth,after 30 yrs as a mechanic,hondas are the best economy cars.toyota is a good choice also, nissan not bad,stay away from the ford unless you want to keep paying for my nice vacations.
