A reporter with a large national newspaper would like to speak with consumers who purchased a small, fuel-efficient vehicle in the past couple of months. If you are new small fuel-efficient vehicle owner, please respond to ctalatiedmunds.com with your daytime contact information no later than Thursday, August 21st.

Honda has confirmed build on my '09 Fit Sport (auto) in storm silver with vsa/nav.
 
Was built week of August 4, VIN to be transmitted to dealer any day.
 
I estimate arrival by the end of September, at the latest.
 
Really didn't want nav at this price point, but the benefit if VSA is virtually indisputable, so there it is.

On 2/20/08 I contacted Portland, OR, dealer and enquired about price on a 2009 Fit. Received the following reply: MSRP on the 2009 Honda Fit Sport Automatic with VSA and Navigation is $19,430, however, most dealerships are marking them up anywhere from $2000 - $5000 over MSRP. At this time, we are unsure of the market conditions at the time of the actual release of the 2009 Honda Fit, so are not taking any deposits.
The first 2009 Honda Fit is scheduled to be on the ground on the 26th of August, however, we will not be getting any for sale until the second week of September.

As a dealer I don't understand why some dealers would dare try to mark the car up over MSRP. To me, $19430.00 for a Fit seems high, but then again I am not in the market for one. One thing I will say however, is the new Fit is damn sharp!
 
At present we have 12 in-transit from the port, which happens to be Portland, OR. We'll have our 12 by the 26th which is the "official" launch date.
 
For the record, we have 33 arriving starting next week through the begining of October and they are all pre-sold.

So that is interesting... you will have 12 Fits by next Tuesday, yet a Twin Cities Honda dealer I talked with today said they won't get any 2009 Fits in for 3 weeks.

It would be foolish to pay over MSRP for this vehicle. Nearly every dealer I spoke to in Maryland wants MSRP, and if you look hard enough you will find a dealer in your area willing to do the same. My God, with nav/vsa, this thing lists for $19,430, add $2-5K to that, and any economic benefit to this vehicle will be left at the dealership in the form of needless to pay markup. However, if that's the road you wish to take (or in fact, your area prices so much differently than the rest of the nation, then I wish you well in your purchase.
 
The only vehicle I would purchase over MSRP these days is the upcoming Nissan GT-R, and only because of the potential for turning it over at a handsome profit.

Thanks for your comment. I agree completely and don't intend to pay such a mark-up, but I thought people might like to know what is going on here in the northwest. In a few months, after the greed has been satisfied, I will probably buy one MSRP.

Just a quick update: According to Honda, our 2009 Honda Fits were loaded on to a train this morning. They are heading out from Portland and we expect them this week.
