Waiting Time
#149
Got a call today from the sales manager. He put in my order on Tuesday and said it went through with no problems. He didn't seem too sure that it will really happen from the sound of his voice on my answering machine. He said he'll keep me posted if anything changes.
Now for the bad news... AUGUST DELIVERY!!! AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH!
Anyone had troubles with the dealer not getting what they order when the order goes through?
Then I woke up to 80 degree weather, took a motorcycle ride, hit 100 mph on the highway for a second and all my troubles were forgotten.
Now to wait.

Must be nice to be a Fit salesman right now. Imagine your boss comes in and says "We just got our monthly quota of four Fits delivered today, we need those off the lot by months end!".
Answer: "No problem, I'll get right on it".
If Honda spends more than $1,000 nationwide advertising the Fit they are idiots. Better yet, imagine being the advertising exec in charge of advertising the Fit. Bet he won't have a problem at year's end showing what a genius he was getting the entire 2007 model year allotment of U.S. Fits sold at MSRP and above.
My dealer, who does not answer e-mails (can't blame him) wanted $750 over MSRP on a MT Sport. If it was the color I wanted, I'm ashamed to say I would have bought it. They're part of a large dealership extending into the DC-Baltimore metro area, so I can't really blame him because in that neck of the woods, they're getting even more above MSRP.
I'm somewhat peeved at Honda though for allocating such a small number of Fits to NA and NOT giving us a Civic HB as an alternative. I've got two Hondas and two Mazdas. If come end of September there's not a Sport MT Fit available at MSRP I will not be getting a non-hatchback Civic, that's for sure. I hope there will be some decent deals on end of model year Mazda3 hatches then.

I'm on a waiting list and supposedly should be getting my VIN# today or tomorrow. About the waiting lists. I know my name is on several lists. So even though your dealer has a long list, most likely the customer has his name on several other waiting lists. So as soon as he/she gets theirs, the lists get smaller.
