How long are the waits for these hard to find colors? I wanna buy in may/june....should i put deposit in sooner?

 

Around 2 1/2 - 3 months.

 

Any other colors hard to find? The honda dealer closest to me has a LOT of Blackberry sports/MT.... I can't get myself to own a purple car!

 

I bought a white Sport MT no-Nav off of the dealer's lot in central NC (Raleigh) two weeks ago. There are several Honda dealers here, about five within 30 miles, and they all seem to have a broad inventory in stock. Sport MT is rarer than most configurations, but I generally see at least a couple in online inventories.

The going prices here seem to be around MSRP. The dealerships typically add in a BS doc fee, but then negotiate the total price back down around to effective MSRP by reducing other items. It appears to be all about which line-items the final numbers land on. Around here, they don't seem to force add-ons like mats et al.

 

I went to Cardinal Honda in Groton CT today and asked them what the wait time was for a car not in stock. The sales manager said they can get any fit in a few weeks time since they are a high volume dealer. He also said that it doesn't hurt to put a deposit down because it garauntees your order . Plus in my case I wont be ready to buy until May so if my car comes in early, THEY WILL HOLD IT....AWESOME! Now hmmm....blue or white???? I guess thats my next thread!
