I got mine at the Ed Voyles in Marietta, GA. I ended up paying $400 over dealer invoice - $14500 including destination charges. The county also had a lower tax rate than a few other dealers I looked at. I found I found an ad online at another dealer and used that ad to get the price I wanted. It's the base model, which I wanted as it has better gas mileage. Afterwards, we had the windows tinted which helps ALOT with the amount of sun that comes in through all those windows. We found the floor mats, the cargo cover and the cargo tray online for less than the dealer wanted to charge. We plan on adding the keyless entry as well as it's less expensive than the dealer...

Really? I've not heard that yet - why would it get better mileage? I'm curious.

That's what it had on Consumer Reports... It said the manual base model got the better mileage. I found it on a few other sites too. It's a very small difference, but $4 is $4 for that extra gallon... One stated: "The automatic is rated at 27 mpg in the city and 33 on the highway for Sport models; base models with the automatic transmission get 27/34 mpg city/highway. Manual models get 28/34 mpg city/highway." link title

Two possible reasons...
 
1) Sport package has wider tires, w/more rolling resistance (are they wider?)
 
2) "Aerodynamic" kit on Sport model causes more wind resistance

Hi, fithawk, I'm in Pittsburgh, too. If you liked your salesperson, could you let me know his/her name? We've been dealing with Baierl Honda in the North Hills, but might trek out to Shadyside--we're not all that thrilled with Baierl.
 
Thanks!

I would be more than happy with that 15200 otd 2008 fit manual. My first question is is drive out price the same as otd? My second question is where did you get that quote because the best price I have gotten so far is 16700 drive off the lot.

Blackberry Pearl Sport Automatic in Maryland by macy11214

Here's a rundown of our buying experience in the Washington DC suburbs of Maryland (Criswell Honda, Germantown):
 
14700 - base price of Automatic including $635 freight
+1277 - upgrade to Sports package
Total: 15,977 (excluding tax,tags,title and $100 dealer processing fee)
 
Drove the car (with 4 miles on it) off the parking lot for a total of $17,263.00. Unfortunately, stock is limited, the car we bought was delivered on Thursday and sold Saturday so there's not much leverage on prices. Overall, I believe this is still a good buy unless you're waiting for the 2009s!

I bought a 2008 base manual Fit from a local dealer for $200 below MSRP about 6 weeks ago. I was recently considering buying another Fit for our second car. I called yesterday about a similar car at the same dealership and was told now a base manual Fit would run $255 above MSRP firm. I declined this offer. Looks like the gas price business is back to putting premiums on the small fuel efficient cars and it is now a seller's market. I wonder if you will be able to buy a 2009 at MSRP?

Fit pricing in Florida by gsakala

I bought my Base/Auto Fit in Titusville, Florida for $16,140 out the door 7 weeks ago. I got it at Invoice plus the normal added costs. I now have 2300 miles on it, and I'm getting an average of 33 to 34 mpg in mixed city and highway driving.
A coworker liked my Fit, so he decided to get one two weeks ago. He went to the same dealer, and had to pay full MSRP. He got basically the same car I did, just a different color, and he paid just over $17K. A month sure made a big difference with the dealer being willing to cut a deal.
