I'm getting disgusted with sites like Cars.com that encourage the listing of vehicles that do not exist. Rather than being helpful in finding the cars we want they are letting themselves be used by dealers as a source of prospects that they then try to sell something else. I actually had a dealer send me an email telling me that the car wasn't there but wanting to make an appointment for me to come in to "drive the car I want." If it isn't there how can I drive it?

 

Cars.com was a site I to visited and soon learned that it was bogus. Never again will I go to that site. Not to mention, it showed a price a few % points above MSRP. Not happy with that site. I just left a message for the internet sales to call me when one arrived and they did.

 

So it will be one week since I've signed the papers for my new Fit, but the dealer still has been unable to give me a clear date for when I will get my car. I went as far as even searching AutoTrader to find and send them four local listings for 2015 White EX in 6MT. My salesguy gave me a vague reply about trying to get one and when I called him today, he said his manager wasn't able to find one local for me and may try to call the factory to get me one today or tomorrow. Sounds like my dealer is dragging their feet, it shouldn't have taken them one week to check local listings then make a phone call to place an order w/ the factory to get the ball rolling for my car.

I just want my new toy!

 

Any specific color is damn near impossible to get. Especially with a manual. I got a Silver one yesterday, but that is because it was literally being taken off the truck when I got there. I wanted yellow...at least a month wait, then white...only white in town sold in 1 day by another dealer. The silver was there, looked good and had the equipment I wanted, so I bought it. Be prepared to wait or get another color.

 

Well, back in '09, at the depth of the recession, when I wanted a Sport MT, my local Honda dealer had 25 new Fits on the lot (it was a recession-ah the "good old days"). Despite that, out of 25 cars, they had exactly ONE Sport MT, and that one was the orange one in the showroom. I told them, "I'll take it!"


Looks like finding a '15 EX MT is going to be a LOT harder. At least for a long time. Fortunately for me, I still have my '09, and none of the '15 colors do a thing for me.

 

When we arrived at the dealer they only had two: Silver EX-L Navi and Black EX. I test drove the black and of course loved it. I already knew I would but it was so much better than my 2011 fit sport. I had never been able to pick my car color before but I wanted to this time. I had only heard of the new 2015 fit being out with the flyer from the dealer with an offer to beat my current payment if I trade it in on a new 2015 model. I had no idea how hard they were to find. I told the dealer I wanted white with my second choice as blue, both in the EX model. The dealer and I both found my white one at a dealer 100 miles away. He traded the silver EX-L Navi with that dealer and swapped them two days later. It was just a few days ago I stumbled upon this awesome forum and realized how hard they are to come by. I now know how blessed I was to find what I was looking for so quickly. I wish everyone the best of luck getting what they want very soon.

 

Did you want the door bumper strips or did they stick you with them?

 

video of a white LX cvt

 

Saw a white 2015 parked not too far from mine yesterday in Delaware. Looked good!

 

Enjoyed the video!!! Thanks for the share. Keep 'em comin.

 

I'm waiting for white and I'm not settling. If my current car dies and I'll be left with no choice I'll take a black one, but with some tears.

 

Actually my husband wanted them but he thought they would be higher. They aren't very functional where they are, but I think they still look nice.

 

Here's a couple photos of a white LX without the hubcaps on. This was presold but just came into a dealer right off the truck.

 

There was only one white one that was being sold at Martin Honda in Newark, Delaware. Think it was an EX. The hood was unusually dirty in the back area as I walked around their lot. Wasn't listed until a week later. Not sure if it sold or not.

The only LX I was able to find was a blue one at Martin on a Saturday. I went there that Monday to buy it but it sold Sunday (A day they are normally closed).

 

Yessssssssssssss - just got a call from the dealer. My white EX-manual is to arrive Monday or Tuesday!!!! Can't wait!!!

 

Good for you! Be sure and post photos and your impressions!

 

I got my White LX cvt this morning!! yay! more info later.

 

Owners of white fits, is anyone else having issues with swirls/flaws/drips on their cars? Seen two white fit owners on this forum reporting issues

 

I got my car last night when the sun was already partially down. I used a flashlight from my phone and noticed heavy swirling. Didn't get a chance to wash the car and check further yet.

The flake in the pearl is gorgeous, though. I was worried the white would be yellowish, but that is not the case.

 

Had to bug multiple dealers to death to get a white lx.
Wanted the lx for the 41 mpg. I've gotten 44 averaged on 300+ mile trips.
Dog loves the back with the seats down. Best car I've ever had, but I've never had a car with cruise, or elec. windows. Ha! AND the car it replaced was a 3 cyl Geo Metro Ha Ha!
