We are buying a base 5AT Fit for 15,198. The dealership has been great, the only thing that sucks is delay in getting the exact car we want due to the high demand. We could have driven off the lot with one last week but, I really don't like orange. So we wait for the one we want to come in and by next week, I should have a happy ending to the story.

Replying to: xanmaster44 (Jun 21, 2008 9:00 pm) The 17,700 OTD is around the price my local honda dealer quoted me. I told the guy that I would buy the car right now for 17,000 OTD, and they said they couldn't do that. I called the dealer (asked to speak with the sales manager) that I bought the car from, and told them that if I was going to drive 90 min. to pick up the car it would have to be for close to $16,800 OTD for the auto sport if they were willing to earn my business. The sales manager called back in 5 minutes and told me they would be happy to do business with me and I paid a deposit over the phone using a credit card. I don't know the market where you live, but I would ask all the dealers in the area for their best price OTD and let them know that you will be buying a new fit in the next 3 days. Also, wait until the end of the month to send out your email. Good luck and keep us updated on your progress.

Replying to: nichevo (Jun 22, 2008 5:11 am) BTW - where are you located and how big of a deposit did you give them?

Replying to: klissel (Jun 22, 2008 6:14 am) There is a shortage of Fits and most dealers are cashing in....some of us are luckier than others I guess (to be below invoice on a hot selling car)....I never talk OTD since taxes and registrations vary from state to state....I like comparing bananas to bananas, negotiationg car prices with sales people is difficult enough for me..

Replying to: watsac (Jun 22, 2008 9:06 am) The process makes things a lot easier and guarantees a minimum of hassles. The only deposit I had to put down was a $500 good faith deposit since they have to bring the car in from elsewhere.

This is getting pretty confusing - I don't think everyone is comparing apples to apples. It might help if people broke down what they mean by OTD - it obviously doesn't mean the same thing to everyone. Taxes are different from place to place as well as licensing fees. It would be better to know the actual cost of the vehicle before tax and license.
