I have the Storm Silver 2008 Sport Fit with the 5 speed automatic that you desire in stock and available for immediate purchase. It arrived yesterday from the factory. Your exclusive Avery Greene Internet Department price for the Sport Fit model will be will be $16,122.84 plus all applicable tax, license and documentation fees. This price includes $635 Honda destination and all dealer handling charges". It looks to me like they are quoting right at Invoice and I wouldn't expect to do better unless Honda sales slow down and they start giving incentives..

Replying to: svofan2 (Apr 23, 2008 7:01 pm) The truth is I'm not quite ready to make the move, but will be in some months. I know things might change by then, but wanted to know first hand what kind of deal is out there. The second response I received to my request for quote was MSRP and I won't be replying to that offer. The last response (I sent three RFQ's) is not here yet.

Replying to: zombietom3 (Apr 23, 2008 7:51 pm) I get this a lot and I never understand why people do this. The market is constantly changing due to supply and demand. As the summer months approach, demand will increase and prices will probably reflect this. The California market must be much worse than I thought. Even at MSRP, the profit margin on Fits is nothing. We can't keep them in stock and they are usually pre-sold a month or more before they arrive. Amazing how markets can vary! |

I am considering a 2008 Fit Sport MT. There is just one Honda dealer in my city (though a few others within 75-100 miles). When I called the local place to inquire about a test drive, the salesman said they don't have any on the lot because the car is in such demand (true; they rarely show any in their website inventory, and when one does show up it is gone within a day or two). I have not yet asked for a quote. I can reserve an incoming one with a deposit, which is refundable if I decide not to buy once I drive it. My question is this: am I going to wind up paying what the dealer wants me to pay because of the demand situation, or is it worth the effort to negotiate and solicit quotes from other dealers? If we're talking about a difference of $100-$200, it isn't really worth the time and stress to me to try to squeeze a relatively small amount of money out of the deal. I just hate to feel that I have naively plopped down a significantly larger amount of money than I needed to.

Replying to: hondalibrarian (Apr 30, 2008 4:42 am) If you want to pay less, you will have to introduce some competition to the equation. Of course, you'll have to balance that out against the convenience of buying from your local dealer. The difference between the best deals and MSRP are only about $500-$700, so watching out for excessive fees and add-ons will likely save you more money than trying to find the absolute bottom deal. Good luck! kyfdx |
