And promptly drove it to work… My dealer experience (Bob Lindsay Honda in Peoria, IL) was probably the best I've ever had purchasing a car (new or otherwise). The only hiccup at signing time was that splash guards were listed on the invoice, which I did not request (the car was a transfer from another dealer, which is probably how this happened). My sales person apologized, checked with his manager, then came back and told the finance person to mark them "no charge."

I checked the car pretty thoroughly for some of the issues that have been reported here with lower-VIN cars, and found none. My build sequence number is 19634, which places it as a more-recently-built car. Oh, I got the CVT in spite of the fact I normally much prefer a manual. Didn't like the low gearing of the manual (I do a lot of highway driving), and after several test drives, thought the CVT would be okay (wife's happier, too!).

Now that I have the car in hand, I'll take a closer look at the wheels/tires (planning to replace with aftermarket), and will post some dimensions here. I've been poking around a lot, but have yet to find hard info on what sizes will work without interference on a stock-suspension/fender Fit.
