This sounds like a load of s*** to me, but maybe the market is just super hot right now. What were your buying experiences like?
Also, thanks for the info on the studs, sounds like i might be able to fit an 8'6'' after all.

RE: stud dimensions- you'll need a pad under the nose of the board to keep from damaging the dash, but it will fit.
I emailed or called all 18 Honda dealers in NorCal over the Labor Day weekend in '06 looking for my Fit. Every dealer wanted either 1.5 or 2K over MSRP, or insisted on adding that much in overpriced accessories into the sales contract. Except for the dealer who was referred by the Costco car buying program. THAT dealer did not have any on the lot when I called. But a week later, they called back when a sale fell through. I got my '07 Sport AT at MSRP with no crap accessories.
Go through Costco. If you don't have a membership, sign up.
