Florida One Can't by sandman46

I always thought thought that my lovely state of Florida was the only state which prohibited that. Besides hurricanes, crooked politicians, old folks that can't read a ballot & ridiculous property taxes, we also can't buy extended warranties online from out of state dealers. Crazy state with lunatics in office making stupid legislation, what more could one ask for!

You forgot the only homestead laws in the country that aid con-men and murderers to shelter millions in property from judgements.

Hello,
 
Can you break the OTD price of $17124? Dealer fees, tax, etc?
 
Thanks,

Could you break out the TTL ? I am particularly interested in the "document" or "dealer" fee.
 
Thanks,

> There's no sales tax in FL right?
 
There is sales tax in FL. 6% on the total price (state sales tax) plus an additional x% for the first $5000 (county sales tax). So an example (For $17K):
 
Orange County: .5% + 6%; (5K*6.5)+(12K*6) = 325 + 750 = 1075
Seminole County: 1% + 6%; (5K*7)+(12K*6) = 350 + 750 = 1100
 
Later,

Price Paid Post Format Suggestion by danlong
Oct 29, 2007 (9:46 am)

I'd like to suggest a format for posting your Price Paid. This is helpful since the dealers tack on fees and fees vary from dealer to dealer. A dealer may give $200 off MSRP lower the price but then add on $200 for "other fees"....
 
Description:
MSRP:
Invoice:
Add-Ons: Cost + Description
Tag Fee:
Tax Fee:
Dealer/Document Fees:
Other Fees:
--------
OTD
 
What does everyone think?

I just bought my Fit on Saturday by commofficer

It's been a while since I posted last and I've been through a couple of cars since then. I'll use the requested format since it seems to make good sense.
 
Description:2008 Silver Fit Sport 5 speed
MSRP: $15,601
Invoice:
Add-Ons: Wheel locks-Free
Tag Fee:
Tax Fee:
Dealer/Document Fees: $299
Other Fees: None
 
Here in Oklahoma we pay Tag, Title and Tax after we get a copy of the title and that takes about 2 weeks but I am guessing something in the $600 range for the lot.
 
I think it was a decent price. I bought it from Steve Bailey Honda here in Oklahoma City and have bought an Accord from them in 2005. The experience has always been good and I appreciate the quick service in the service department.
 
I will need to buy an arm rest, dead pedal and floor mats to make this car right. The lack of the arm rest is just plain stupid and the person who said that they should only give arm rests to the JDM market should be beaten with a stick. No dead pedal in a 5 speed is also stupid but it's forgivable.
 
Take care
Phil

Phil,
 
Does the MSRP include Destination Charge? The number is odd compard to Edmunds' (includes Destination Charge):
 
Sport Manual $15,905
Sport Auto $16,705
Base Auto $15,385
Wheel Locks for $54.
 
None of the numbers match $15,601 -- were there other accessories included in the MSRP pricing? Interesting about the Dealer/Document fee, Courtesy Honda charges $600. Way too much.
 
Thanks,

That was the sum on the finance paperwork. I guess the truth is in the actual numbers somewhere on the document. They show:
 
MSRP= $15,601
Cash Price= $15,601
Processing Fee= $299
 
All I wrote my check for was $15,900. I guess that shows you what they can do with their prices if they really want to sell the car. They said that they don't sell many of the 5-speed Fit Sports so maybe that was it but they don't have many on the lot so they are selling.
 
$600 is really BS. Do you have a choice of your local dealers? We have 3 Honda dealers in the OKC metro area so that helps keep stuff like that from happening.
 
Good luck
Phil

Document/Dealer Fee is just additional profit. We do have a few Honda dealers in the area. I am going to send a message to all the Honda dealers with-in ~100 miles and see what best price is. Or I just send them a bottom line buy price and buy from the first dealer that responds positively.
 
In the CR-V forum, some of the dealers charge $199 and as low as $49.
