Well its been almost 3 weeks and two different dealerships trying to find me a 2015 Fit EX 6-Spd in black or gray. The first dealership promised me the car in under a week no matter what, obviously if your reading this post you realize that that never happened. Everyday it was the same lame excuse until finally I went to a different dealer, in which I was treated much better.

So it's been a week so far with the current dealership I am working with and I cant complain they are updating me everyday on search results. My problem is that they can find a 6-spd fit anywhere! If anybody works at or knows anyone that works at a dealer in NJ and has knowledge of either of these colors please let me know. A lot of dealer website has either of these 2 models in their inventory on their websites but unfortunately nothing is in stock. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance

 

i was in the same boat as you. you need to do the research yourself. don't bother with letting the dealer do it.

none of the dealers around me had 6mt fits, so i went on autotrader and cars.com and searched dealer lots till i found my car. i found it within a few hours of searching, called the dealer made sure they ACTUALLY had it, then drove to get it the next day. simple, with minimal time wasted. i suggest you do the same.

coincidentally, i bought my car in jersey, in the middle of the state 150 miles away from my ny home.

put in a little work, and you will find the car easily. good luck.

 

Looks like your doing everything right. Searching the various NJ dealers web pages and dealing with an honorable dealer. Am sure your already using cars sites (e.g. cars.com, etc.......). You may want to venture into looking at dealerships in neighboring states.

For a bunch of the early GK owners, your three weeks is really nothing. There quite a few of us who waited for many many months.

Stick to the exact model your after with a dealer who wants your business. Show your seriousness by sitting down and working out the numbers. Nothing worse than an initially polite dealer, who finds the right car, only to find out he's gonna over-charge you with unnecessary add-ons.

Build up your patience level for now, knowing in the end, you will finally drive the car of choice. Good luck and keep us updated.

 

did u try mahwah honda? theres a guy here who works there and advertises their stock

 

I understand guys have waited a while for there cars and I dont want to sound like I am complaining about 3 weeks. I have certainly waited longer for different cars. The issue was that bother dealers just brushed it off as " yeah we can get that for you next week" and no results. I have used cars.com but a lot of inventory on there seems to be outdated. Most of the current stock for ex 6spd has either been sold or is incoming inventory that has been delayed. I did not try mahwah yet, though.

 

just did a quick search on autotrader, and found 12 grey or black ex 6mt within 100 miles from me. so, within 200 miles of you or closer. put in a little time, make some calls and drive a little and you can have a car within a few days.

if not, sit there and wait. choice is yours.

 

Well since I'm here its probably best to introduce myself, my name is Mike I'm from The Belmar area of NJ. I currently work cyber security for a state agency but i have close to 10 years experience with automotive electronics and prob 1000 remote starts under my belt. I have been reviewing several solutions for remote start integration for the fit, currently there is only 1 solution that I would utilize but I'm talking to another manufacture about the release of there solution.

Once I get my car I will be tinkering around with stuff in an attempt to figure out the hdmi bypass.

Feel free to ask any questions and I'll do my best to help out.

 

Go here for a New Jersey dealer that has helped several people get new Fits:

oh, so you have plenty of time during the day to search the internet and make phone calls to dealers to find your car. get on it!

figure out a way to get an aux input on an hdmi equipped EX, and i will find you a car...

 

Well once I get that dash apart I'll see what I can do.

 

I mean if yiu want you can installed a wired fm transmitter with aux input. Sound quality is pretty decent and everything is pretty cheap? I'd prefer to check out the wiring and everything first before I recommend anything but it's an idea

 

I had trouble finding exact color and trim and transmission that I wanted. I went to 3 dealer and no body had stock or can speical order.seems like fit is in hot demand and the dealers have very limited inventory

 

I just found one, that I am working on obtaining right now, it's a bit far but we will see.

 

there ya go. if it you burn up a day going there, getting the car, and coming back, it is worth it in my eyes. good luck!

*this coming from a guy that has gone to ohio for an s2000, new hampshire for his previous sh!tbox commuter, western pa for a bike, maryland then ohio for other vehicles...

 

Should have the car by tues or wed, it's on a truck now. I did virgina for one of my s2000, and mass for a bike.
