Bottom Line: Have They Hit The East Coast?

I am in Tampa, cars come outta the Jacksonville rail yard. Just wondering how far across the country they are at this point?

There are dealers here in VA that have CLAIMED to have one (a base model). But, I do not want to test drive a base, so I did not go there to confirm.


Northern VA

I'm in Tampa too - - brought my '09 Sport home on Friday - - got it at Regal in Lakeland for MSRP - - I know Hondaland and Brandon are expecting some soon, but some are pre-sold and I'm pretty sure they are adding a market adjustment (I know Hondaland couldn't match Regal).

I delt with Patty Olson at Regal, she was very good and the whole experience was great - - I'll buy from them again - - Tell Patty that Steve who bought the first Fit in the area recommended her - - good luck.

BTW - we love the '09 Sport Auto, we had an '07 Sport Auto that our daughter bought off of us.

Had a silver '09 sitting in my driveway on 2 Oct; salesman was making sure it coulld get in/out of our driveway; we have those breakless curbs in our neighborhood.
BTW, it didn't drag anything.

I Have Had Great Success At Kuhn Honda in Tampa

When other dealers offered me 4K on my Yaris they gave my 6.5K. I also am quite satisfied with my deal on trading my 2008 with them. Hell they ain't there to LOSE money, I simply refuse to pay over MSRP and refuse to pay a dime on dealer add on RIPOFFS. Kuhn gave them to me but at no charge.
Thanks for the input, now I will start tracking down my car since I usually find them faster than the dealer by calling and pretending I want a deal thru them.

I really want to play with one.

They have been in Atlanta at least since last Thursday Aug 28. More hit Buford (where I live) last Friday including units with nav. My SSM Auto Sport Nav is supposed to be at port or on its way, since they gave me a VIN.
