Has anyone seen a base model fit in Western Mass or Southern VT at a dealer?

Thanks jmcbrg.
Boston is bit out of my range but if it's near Waltham I stop in.

It's really Allston, on Comm ave. I saw it there because I just bought my Black sport model there!

I'm in Burlington, VT and the only base Fit I've seen was on the road (blue, the color I want); Automaster in Shelburne had ONE Fit (white Sport MT), Town & Country in Montpelier had exactly none.

Hey thanks nlpnt,

I think this a created shortage to create a fit frenzy. The same thing
is happening with the Toyota Yaris HB. I want to try one out before I
decide but try and find one.

whats the wait time to get one now?

Barry's Honda in Dartmouth MA had 5 Fits, 3 sport, 2 base. All are gone. Wait times are at least a month. My GF is on the list at Hyannis Honda for a White sport AT.

There are no 5spd sport fits in western mass, which is what I'm looking for. If you want a auto, then you'd be in heaven. I found some 5spds out in eastern mass that I'm going to go have a look at.

Check autotrader for new fits, that might help a bit.

Carbone in Bennington VT just emailed me stating that they have a Orange one coming in, and if I was interested (I'm in line for one coming in mid-July). I said no - that color's not for me - but call them and check it out (they have a webpage). There's a demo car at Shearer Honda in Rutland to drive (auto/base). Bennington was the only location in VT that could get one in for me before September..... my fingers are crossed.

Hi Slowuphill,

Carbone's is my local dealer. They're supposed to e-mail when they get a
base model fit. I'm glad to see they e-mailed you but I'm sceptical. Bedard's
in Cheshire MA was supposed to contact me when they got one but they
blew me off

. I did a search with Auto Trader today and found there is quite
a few in a 75 mile radius of me. So take a look. Thanks for the info.
