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?

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. Daytona Bob

Replying to: wge (May 24, 2008 3:06 am) Still not a bad deal. If gas prices continue to rise you may wish you had jumped on that.

Replying to: wge (May 27, 2008 6:41 am) I predict that even if gas prices stay where they are now that Fits will be impossible to find a month from now. The values of big SUV's and other gas guzzlers will continue to drop. It really isn't a pretty picture and I fear the upcoming months. I sure wouldn't wait for a "better" deal. |

| I have been shopping around for a second 2008 Fit base, 5sp. manual transmission. Two weeks ago one dealership told me they would ask $215 over MSRP (MSRP = $14,585). Another dealership said they would only go with MSRP. They looked for a dealer trade and found only three base 5-sp manuals in the entire state of Tennessee and that one or more may already have been sold and that it would cost an additional $150 over MSRP to get the car to the dealership. A third dealer called today to say they had two base 5-sp manuals in transit and that was the end of the 2008's. No more beyond those already built and in transit. I put down a deposit at a fourth dealership for a Milano Red base 5-sp manual that they will sell at MSRP. The third dealership intimated a hefty price increase for the 2009 Fit and Civic models, whatever that might be, for obvious market reasons. After lengthy consideration, I decided that I wanted a 2008 rather than a 2009 so agreed to the MSRP deal. Syngergy 3 if you have a firm $16,122 deal on a 2008 sport auto which has a MSRP of $16,700, you might wish to jump on that offer. I doubt you will be able to do any better. | |
