Replying to: bobw3 (Feb 16, 2008 7:47 am) this is the best I got: "Selling price is $16588+$1414.66(Tax rate)+$171(Lic.fee)+$55(Doc.fee)+$8.75(Tire fee) Total out the door base on the information that you provide is $18237.41." Should I take it? if not, what is a good counter offer? are all those fees legit? like the foc fee sounds made up to me, but all dealers gave it to me. please advice... and BTW, what is the Honda website you say you got a low qoute? all I see is marketing stuff. only dealers give me quotes |

Replying to: csmba (Feb 16, 2008 9:22 am) i got the same 15,700 offer from 2 places. But the problem is the MT is hard to find, and no one seems to have stock, expect for grey color, which I absolutely do not want. |

Replying to: csmba (Feb 16, 2008 9:22 am) $15,905 from the above build your Fit Honda Website for manual sport & $16,700 for automatic sport, so you're getting it for about $100 MSRP, which is about what most folks are paying. Are you doing any trade-in?

Replying to: bobw3 (Feb 17, 2008 5:36 am) I was alarmed at the prices I saw here, but I guess it is because I didn't realize they are talking about Manual, not AT... so if I got with AT, this is a good price I guess? anyone wants or can convince me that I should go with Manual? myself I don't mine manual, but I thought that re-sell will be easy with AT (plus the wise prefers it (-: ) thanks |

Replying to: gearhead1 (Nov 12, 2006 9:20 am) You can't negotiate the doc fee. They must charge the same fee to everyone. Even the dealer pays the doc fee if he buys a car from his dealership, though he may sell himself the car for cost. Negotiate the price of the car, not the doc fee. Doc fees can range from $50.00 to $700.00. It is just built in profit, but they must charge it to everybody once they set the doc fee. You can get the mud gaurds for $52.00 on line. Should you take the deal?? Fits are in short supply, so I would probably pay the premium of 400+ dollars. It's not that much if it's the car you want. I don't see the shortage of Fits getting any better in the near future. Honda is still a year or two from building a plant here in the US to boost Fit production. JDM (made in japan) Fits will then be in short supply in the US if that has any bearing on your decision. Personally, I wanted a JDM Fit. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. I don't buy that crap that Fit's are in short supply...it's a HONDA...it's a MASS PRODUCED CAR. You know what's in short supply? A Ferrari 430, a 911 Turbo, a Lamborghini Gallardo...those are in short supply...NOT a Fit... Please...

Replying to: nozferat (Feb 19, 2008 11:09 am) I guess you haven't tried to buy one  To be fair, when I bought mine in Nov '05 there was no supply...they left the dealer as soon as they came in, but it sounds as though now the supply still isn't that great. You can tell this just by going to a few different dealers and seeing if they'll negotiate. If they can sell to customers for MSRP plus fees easily, then there's no reason for a dealer to negotiate.
