New boat of Fits must have arrived. My build date was 8/26 and my fit just got off the Truck in Seattle WA today. Orange Revolution. Got my vin number back on 9/5.

 

Did your dealer keep you updated on the status? Do they give you the VIN number before it ships?

 

Super excited about my fit so I constantly wanted an update of when it was going to get here. My dealer did a decent job of keeping me posted, although I thought I would get the port arrival date which is why I was surprised it arrived at the dealer today. When I was given the VIN he said the car was on the boat.

 

Thanks for the info. I am driving a borrowed car that is kind of sketchy. Any updates I can get from my dealer gives me hope.

 

I'm waiting for an AT Sport Orange Rev. I was told yesterday it was in Alabama (I think?) and it should hopefully be in Miami by Friday!

 

Orange sport AT build date 9/12 due mid October. I later tried to change the order to an orange w/ navi and they want 2400 more! What a bastard! I said to hell with it and I will stick w/ my non-navi sport instead.

 

My dealer called me two days ago, saying my car was in National City (San Diego) ... should have it this week

 

Wow! That seems fast! I just ordered a Silver Sport Manual Transmission and the build date is September 23rd. The dealer said I'd get the VIN # in a couple weeks and told me it should arrive around the first week of November.... but maybe it will be earlier than that.

I'm getting financing through my credit union and the dealer said once I get the vin # I would need to come down to process the financing... Does anyone know if it is reasonable to start the financing process before the car has arrived...? I did put a $1000 deposit down on it.

 

What's the rush to sign up for a loan? By the time your car arrives your bank may be toast anyway

 

Good point :-) I think my credit union is doing ok...maybe...

 

Months ago, my sales rep promised me an AT orange revolution at MSRP to be delivered the third week in Sept. I emailed him today, and he told me the ETA is 9/18. I can hardly wait....

 

Orange Revolution Sport MT built on 8/8. I believe it was received at the dealer in Milwaukee on 9/10. I bought it on 9/11. I did not order the car in advance. I called several dealers in the area and told them I was looking for a MT and would prefer orange. I think I got lucky. I could not be happier with the purchase.

 

How's the colour!?!

 

Pic's..!!! please

 

My build date was 8/24 i called my salesman today and he said that it should of arrived in Kansas City today and would be in route to Tulsa (where i live) tomorrow so hopefully by the end of the week (depending on how many stops). Anyone else with a buld that close to that and arround Oklahoma?

 

Are you asking me for pics?

 

SUre am ...if you have some that is

 

I don't have any yet. As soon as I get a chance I will take some. The wife has it today. She brought it to work, people there were curious about the car (they heard her talking to me on phone when I was at dealer buying it). Apparently everyone was very impressed.

 

How long have you had it? My wife says she doesn't even want to drive it until we've had it at least a month! She gets tired of me calling her asking where she parked it etc. She want's to wait until the "newness" wears off.

 

I assume you are asking me. I love the color. I had not seen it before test driving the car. It looks very sharp. I have had a bunch of people checking out the car since I bought last Thursday. I have not had a car in while that is a head turner There have been several positive comments about the color as well.
