Called my Honda salesperson today on a new purchase of a 2007 Honda Fit. He told me OCT/NOV delivery because I am a repeat customer from 9/05 having bot the 06 Civic. Deposit is $500. He asked me if I was trading my 06 Civic in? I said no. Asked him why? Told me that his dealership has a 50-deep waiting list on the Civic. He would take my trade-in in a heartbeat, waxed or not (he remembered me). Waiting list on the Fit for non-repeat customers at his delearship is NOV/DEC. Seeing my salesperson next TUE with my deposit.



Are the Fit, Yaris, Versa, Accent cars hot commodities everywhere else in the country?
 
the Civic is soooo hot I think that theres a 6 month waiting list on it . The fit is not so hot, it is pretty expensive for what you are getting, so most potential fit buyers just opt for the Civic because its only a few grand more
 
waited a week for my 07 fit here in FL



And the comment about the Fit not being hot and what your getting? What other car can you get honda reliability for with alloy wheels, a sport tuned suspension, decent looks, cruise etc for 15,720? Ya exactly you can't.
 
The Civic is top most stolen car here in Montreal, Quebec ten years running and going strong ...Lol that why I will never buy one again and the fact they are ridiculously over priced !



When the rest of the world hated the Civic hatchback, we were crying when they cancelled it back in 2001, with only the ultra expensive Si(SiR in Canada) it wasn't much an option.
 
Officially put down my deposit on a Fit S today and was told about a 6 month wait. I almost choked. Problem is Honda USA's limited allocations to the delears and/or manipulation of the supply by Honda. Oh well but I did get a 2% discount off msrp.
 
I have only seen ONE Fit on a dealers lot and it was sold. I've been hearing that the wait is long here as well.
 
welcome to the Fit and Honda family.. honda-tech.com and fitfreak.net :) I'm spreading my autopian knowledge over there to the noobs ;)
 
6-month wait on the 5-sp manual



4 month wait on the automatic



85% are coming thru with auto



15% are coming thru with manual



most dealer allocations are only 3-4 Fits per month, hence very tight supplies if you are looking for a certain color/transmission
 
I particularly like this small Honda ;)

Thanks Pennypacker.



Soon after posting I received a call from another local Honda dealer. A Milano Red with Auto was unspoken for and I could have it. Declined due to the tranny. Anyone in the market for one should exhibit some patience. Although Fits are hard to find right now they are available from time-to-time in different marketplaces.
 
I've been meaning to check out the Fit, every dealership I've gone to tell me the same crap. Its all presold so I can't touch them. I don't want to drive it, I just wanna check it out!
 
I don't think I would go on a waiting list for a Civic. The Ford, Chevy, etc. dealers have plenty of small cars ready to buy that get 30 mpg.
