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.

From Jon Hall Honda in Daytona Beach FL.
 Really down to earth people. Up front,truthfull and honest. No mind games on extras or add ons. The people who work there give personal accounts of being on the other side of the fence like us buyers so they simply put forth their best.
 $17900.00 out the door which included the double mfg warranty from Honda.
which goes for $1060.00 . Cheap insurance for doubling the warranty. Everyone else was so close in quoting that the final factor was who actually had the model available right now. And to my surprise it was my own local dealer. They expect the Fit to go on a waiting list in months to come due to the start of the mad rush for economy.

Even at that price, the dealer would be making a lousy 750.00 on that Fit.
 
Still not a bad deal. If gas prices continue to rise you may wish you had jumped on that.

You may be correct. However, you must also factor in the "doc fees" that would push the profit to over $1000, which works out to be about 7-8% on the deal. Still, I don't begrudge that amount of dealer profit. The bummer is going from a better deal just a short time ago to a worse deal now. However, I may have a line on a Fit at a different dealer would now sell at MSRP, but with $100 more in "doc fees." Depending upon trade-in issues, that could make the deal for me on Fit #2.
