My customer just picked up his 2009 Honda Fit Sport A/T. Price: $17580.00 +$1142.70 MN sales tax (6.5%) +$273.00 MN DMV fee's +$75.00 dealer documentation fee =$19070.70 TOTAL OTD He has already ordered another one for an October delivery because he sold his to a guy in South Dakota for $20K! Another customer sold his spot on the waiting list to a guy for $1000.00. So, if we as a dealer mark them up over MSRP we're considered crooks, but an average Joe sell's it for $20K he's a smart investor? |

Replying to: mplshondadlr (Sep 02, 2008 1:57 pm) The dealership has entered into an agreement with the manufacturer and assumes all the risk and accountability associated with the sale and distribution of the products, and deserves the additonal profit current market demand dictates. The opportunist, however, gets to profit without scrutiny and or accountability. E-bay has dozens of exmples of this type of gray area infringement.

| We purchased the FIRST 09 Honda Fit sold in Alaska today. Sport, Auto, Storm Silver. We paid MSRP: 17,580 + doc fee + title and registration. No dealer installed options. I called the sales manager and they had just gotten this unit in. On the phone I offerred to pay MSRP, he said fine -in spite of the 2,000 ADM marked on the window. I originally wanted a Base but they weren't set to recieve any base / automatics, so we went for this one. We almost bought a Hyundia Accent yesterday but the saleman pissed of my wife -mistake- I lost some sleep over it last night and really, in the end, the safety of the Fit loomed large in the decision. Alaskans drive like maniacs and the weather can be tough -our other car is an Element. | |

Seems like Fits are starting to show up in real numbers, at least here in San Diego, and there are opportunities to buy at MSRP. Used the internet quote request function in Edmunds, and got multiple quotes at MSRP. Be careful, because the weasel wording in the quotes may mean the dealer will insist on over-priced "protection packages" or other "fees". Regarding supply, I received several calls and emails from other dealers besides where I bought today, they are getting Fits in and these apparently are not pre-sold. My experience: bought a 2009 Sport Auto, Storm Silver today, from DCH Lemon Grove Honda (MSRP + gov fees). My experience there was excellent, and I recommend if you are shopping in the San Diego/ SoCal area to contact Paul Choi, Internet sales manager. I get nothing for this recommendation, just a very satisfied customer. Paul is honest, earnest, and very pleasant to work with. Usual fun with the finance guy, but he was pretty good-natured when I declined those add-ons. The car is great (but you KNOW that!). Burned 1/2 a tank so far, and the meter is showing over 36 average mpg! (mostly freeway driving). It will be interesting to see how this evolves (car had 7 miles at delivery, straight off the truck). Am I happy?
