I had been looking for a white 5speed sport 2012 fit for about a month now. not luck at all~ Can dealership order new fit from Japan?? which dealership can do that??? or any dealership you guys suggest??

 

Where are you located chinkieboy? I ordered my 2012 MT Sport from West Hills Honda in Bremerton. Yes it is a factory order. Any dealer has the ability to order for you, actually getting them to do it might take a little persuasion. West Hills was happy to do the order with no BS.

 

I'm in lynnwood area, Bellevue Honda said they don't have problem doing it, but how long does it usually take?

 

I ordered at the end of October, and supposedly my Fit will be here around the 2nd week in December. Sometimes they can get it faster if the one you want is due to arrive anywhere in US and they can divert it to their store...just depends. They will search the state and then the US.

Good luck, let us know what happens!

 

Yes thank you

 

How much deposit did you have to put down??

 

Deposit was $500, and that seems pretty standard everywhere (locally). I was able to do everything over the internet/phone with Amy at West Hills Honda, although you have to be willing to take a ferry ride to Bremerton for pickup

 

Kirkland was asking 1g for deposit

 

Is that right! I almost made a deal with Kirkland, I think it was Jim...not sure if we discussed amount of deposit. They kept dragging their heels about making the deal to order. When I got hold of West Hills Honda they clearly were ready to order at once and the price seemed ok too.

I know one other Honda place did tell me $500 deposit.

Bremerton is not very convenient but guess I can go to any dealer for service, if I do go to a dealer for anything that is. I am closest to Downtown Honda (Seattle).

 

Yes I did talked to Jim , he told me 500 are first but then when I asked again he said 1g

 

Yes Jim seems to like to do a whole lot of talking, but it never seemed to really go anywhere.

I got disgusted and felt like saying Do you want to sell me a Fit or not, and are you going to order me one or not. Got tired of fooling around. LOL. Not just Jim but some other Honda dealers too. Jim was actually one of the better ones, but still.

Of course i was doing it all by email, maybe going in to dealership would have been different but doubt it.

 

so I guess I will order one from amy over there too then. which Fit did you get??

 

My Fit is a silver 2012 manual transmission Sport.

Not saying others won't order for you, just I got tired of the games and went for the sure thing. That is how it worked out for me.

Fun talking to you

 

yes, if i have the time tomorrow, I will make the drive to Bermo. too.

 

You can email Amy at alounsbury@haselwood.com. I negotiated the price by email, then called her to give the deposit. She made it so easy to spend all that money

 

I just placed the order today at Bellevue. Hopefully I will receive soon

 

Glad to hear it! Seems like I have been waiting a long time. But it was the only way to get a MT.

 

when it arrives, I believe floor mat is optional right?? which mean I will have to purchase on my own?

 

I thought 2011& 2012 came with the carpet mats. However the rubber all weather or Weathertech digital are superior.

I just checked the Honda website- Mats are standard with the Sport model & are not included with the Base. It doesn't say which mats, but I believe they are the carpet ones.

 

what about the Fit door sill?? It didn't say anthing on the site.
