Urban Myth: 2010 Fit Sport MT (in silver hehe)

Man, these dealers like to "state" things.
One dealers says there no SSM Sport M/T in five states. Another says on seven states. I'm thinking, I don't know where they're looking, I found one in Tennessee, barely a heartbeat away from the bottom tip of Illinois.
BTW, long story, short. I cancelled the other order. I mentioned this in another thread I created, https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...crazyness.html).
Yesterday, using cars.com, I landed upon a brand new listing for a 2010 SSM Sport M/T at a dealer on the other side of Chicago. The listing was so new, only the dealers website (& cars.com) had it showing, NOT their own computers. Got to the dealer this morning, confirmed the car was on it's way to the dealer (scheduled to arrive 6/17-6/21) and put a deposit on it.
Myth: plausible?

When we were looking for our Sport M/T with navi the dealer told us there were no such cars available anywhere from the Rockies to the east coast. I found all kinds of them listed on the Internet. I was headed to Chicago to buy--the salesman said he was looking at it right outside his window. Turned out it was an automatic--that there were quite a few phantom M/Ts advertised that didn't really exist when we went looking. The dealer's database didn't cover the entire US, but what they did cover was accurate after all.
Cheers.

I went to my Honda dealer, told them what I wanted (metallic orange Sport M/T) and they found one at another dealer. They traded with that dealer and I had my M/T two days later. It was a really easy process.

Hello again Fit Freaks! I test drove some cars and found the Fit wasn't for me.
I do a lot of night driving and the headlights are bad.
Plus, the pedals are too close together on the M/Ts.
I'm now looking at the Civic Si Coupe!
It still has a
engine. heheI really appreciate all the posts everyone. You have all been very helpful, and made my car searching experience that much better.

That's cool - the Fit isn't for everyone. And a Civic Si is a great car. Good luck and have fun! If you know anyone who DOES get a Fit, send them here! It's a great forum, really good folks!

The 1st dealership I inquired to 3 months ago said a black MT Sport was very rare. So I waited then in June I inquired to 4 more dealerships and they all were able to get the MT, then I realized I wanted the Blue paint. So I had to wait another 2 weeks but everything worked out. Bottom line I think is don't believe the dealers when they say it's not available, they're just trying to get you to buy RIGHT NOW - just be patient and demand what you want or no dice, it will come in from Japan sooner or later.

at the local honda dealer, they have 7 honda fit sports and 3 out of the seven are manual transmission fit sports, a silver, red and light blue one
most people prefer the automatics and in canada, they do not come with paddle shifters!
the manuals have been sitting there for a while now!
