I suppose I should try that (I was thinking of being "loyal" to the sales guy at Penske). I don't have to have it today, but I am getting more and more impatient as the days go by - I have been looking at inventory on the dealer web sites but have found that to be unreliable. I'll start calling and see what I come up with.

What kind are you trying to get?
I would call around. Why do you feel loyal to the Penske guy? Have you bought other Hondas from him? Just curious.
I went to the Honda website and just started calling all the dealerships and then when none nearby had the one I wanted I started expanding my range. That's why I ended up calling Terre Haute.

No reason to be loyal to the Penske guy, just an old-fashioned courtesy (I should get over that!).

I just arrived at the dealership with a cashier's check. Signed the papers and was out the door.
Jon was really nice. He knew everything about the car. Went over all the details. Another dealership wanted a black one that the Terre Haute dealership had. So in exchange Terre Haute got the red one. Maybe I was lucky when I called. I don't know how long they had the Milano Red Fit before I called. Maybe a day or so.
Most other dealerships had to order a red one in. And I didn't really feel like waiting since I was using a rental until I could get my Fit.

OK so I call my sales guy today at Penske and he said my Fit Sport Auto has a build date of June 9. Then he said normally 20-30 days - then it ships and he estimates the car will be at the dealer mid-July. Should he be able to give me a VIN on this car? (I didn't ask.) Does this timing sound about right?

From what I've been hearing it takes about 4 weeks from the build date to delivery to the dealership, however your delivery could be slightly delayed due to the 4th of July holiday. Also, I believe Penske is a President's Club member FWIW. P.S. My sister and her family live in Indy and also have relatives in Carmel/Fishers area.

If I don't come up with something I'll end up in Anderson all day helping move computers. It would also be a good excuse to drop in on business guy in Indy.
Edit: Obviously (or not so I put it) everyone should show up.

Sorry to resurrect a thread, but I'm in Fishers myself, and I'm looking to pick up a Fit (well, order one) on Monday most likely. I've been dealing with Penske exclusively since they were the only lot in the area that had a Fit I could test drive. I'm wanting a Taffeta White Sport, and since that color's on its way out I have to get the '07 model.
I currently drive a 99 Mercury Cougar, and the NECO car clubs are pretty active. Do you Indy folks get together at all for meets, mods, etc? I don't intend to do much to my Fit, but I've been in car clubs since I've been a driver, and I don't want that to end now.

The only problem we seem to have is deciding when and where to meet. I'm not interested in meeting at Hooters or a bar myself. Anywhere else is fine with me.

*ponders* The meets I'm used to are generally in someone's garage with a lot of space. One person is changing out plugs, another is swapping rotors, two others are trying out short ram intakes, and someone else is relocating his battery to the trunk to improve weight distribution or something. Countless others just socialize, and someone runs the grill. In short, the bars don't usually come until folks are done working on their cars...and that's only a portion of the crowd.

ditto on the "no bar" scene. Just throwin' this out there, but it worked really well when I had a Element Meet at my house. I live in the north side of Anderson. Big yard, long driveway, super-huge grille, and some firewood. Works bests on weekends--anytime. wadayathink ?

I'd be game...er, in a couple of weeks when I actually HAVE my Fit.
Can anyone recommend a good tint shop in the Indy area? I must have my windows tinted (doctor's orders...stupid light sensitivity). Supposedly I can go lower than the legal limit with the exemption I have, but I intend to only go to Indiana's limit on the windows and down to the AS1 line on the windshield. It's just not worth the possible harassment.
