Walked into my Honda dealer at 11:20 AM 20-April-2006 and drove it away at 12:35 PM. Vivid Blue Sport model for $120 over MSRP. So far several looks and smiles from passerbys. I'll be checking the forums for personalization ideas, etc. In the meantime I am off to get aquainted. Looking forward to this.

 

I got my blue Sport auto. on the 19th, Wed., in New Jersey. Got 200 miles on it now(Fri.). Does that make me the first? The rear windows(back seat, and back from there) have been 'shaded' with a professional film job. I added a chrome tip to the tailpipe. As the car was pre-ordered, I had them install a chrome grill. It now has rubber Honda floor matts, and a blue shift lever. I am waiting for a cargo cover. Ordered parts from a Honda dealer via internet as the selling dealer wanted to mark-up parts. Car drives great. I also took off 5 advert's for the selling dealer (1- license frame, 2- card in rear license frame, 3- card on nose license holder, 4- transfer letters on tailgate, and 5- decal on rear hatch glass.) I have two other cars with manual transmissions, but I love the way the Fit shifts. I just use D and S (and N at stop lights.)

 

I'll settle for second.Who is the internet dealer and what did you pay? I'll settle for second.

 

My friend on here (ezekielwhore) got his FIT on April 18th... Supposedly the first in California and possibly the first in the states.

 

that would be me i think im the first in cali. cause i think i saw someone from the east coast get theres on tuesday too. i would of got it sooner but i had work

 

Got mine April 1st, here in Canada.

 

Gave $ 500 to a dealer in NJ for a MSRP deal. He told me what he was getting-in, and I put my money down. He called me when it came off the truck, and he accepted my regular check.

 

i didnt reserve or anything. just walked in. walked out wid the fit i wanted.

 

What time on the 18th? I drove mine home around 9pm (in CA).

 

According to the dealer, they were not allowed to release my Fit to me until April 20, per Honda corporate. I gather some of our FitFreaks found dealers who broke the rule(?). Mine came in on the 18th and they took me out to the garage where they were checking it out, brought it down off the lift and let me sit in it. I had an appointment with the salesman for the final paperwork at 9 AM on the 20th, and headed for work about 10:20 AM. I took the dealer's ad plate off the front, but they really torqued the bolts on the plate frame and I couldn't get it off. (We don't have front license plates in FL.) It really spoils the appearance of the grille. I'm heading back to the dealership tomorrow -- salesman says someone will have to crawl underneath the car to unbolt the plate frame, so they'll just put it on a lift. I told him no offense, but I don't like having billboard on my car! The frame on the back of the car has the dealer's name in big letters, so that's got to go, too! At least he didn't tack on one of those little plaques on the body like the dealer did to my Accord wagon -- I would have had a "fit" about that! I was tempted to offer to carry their ads around for 6 months if they dropped the price!

I like the look of the carpet mats, but wonder if the all-weather version would be the better choice. Anyone seen the cargo cover? The mat over the cargo area is really flimsy. A nice one came with my Accord wagon and I didn't pay extra for it.

 

i drove off at 8:45pm so we practically got ours the same time. arent we special? LOL

 

nope sorry i got mine 8:00 am on the 18th of april here in illinois they werent supposed to get them in till the 26 but i got mine early

 

so i guess may 4th is way late, huh? first in my city, and until i hear otherwise, first in ohio.
