Replying to: tonyspumoni (Nov 19, 2008 8:03 pm) i agree 100%! i've purchased my last 4 cars this way, including my most recent, an '09 honda fit sport 5-spd manual. seeking quotes online simplifies the process and gets you the best price, without a doubt. also keep in mind that you can request quotes from multiple dealers too.

Replying to: underdog4 (Oct 09, 2008 1:59 pm) honda plans to export 80,000 fits to north american for the'09 model year. i don't know how many north american dealers they have, but i am certain that it's significantly less than 40,000!   not only did this salesman lie, but your friend should be ashamed for blindly believing a car salesman. i've never met a car salesman that i trusted...period!

Replying to: dhectorg (Nov 20, 2008 2:29 pm) If party A sells for whatever over MSRP and party B agrees to the terms, how is that bad? There is no force involved. Does someone HAVE to buy a Fit?   Remember, MSRP stand for Manufactures SUGGESTED retail price. I dont see dealers complaining that they got ripped off when someone bought a car under MSRP.   My dealership has never added markup's or unwanted accessories to any Fit. However, if a dealer does mark it up and people continue to buy them, the dealers will continue to mark them up. If no one buys them at inflated prices, dealer wont add mark up's. The market will always set price. Econ 101. Replies to this message: dhectorg (Nov 20, 2008 4:09 pm) prufrock1 (Nov 21, 2008 5:46 pm)

Replying to: dhectorg (Nov 20, 2008 2:29 pm) Point he was trying to make is that consumers have a choice pay the price or just walk away. As long as people are willing to pay that price dealers will sell it for that price. Replies to this message: dhectorg (Nov 20, 2008 4:06 pm)

Replying to: alamocity (Nov 20, 2008 3:12 pm) yeah i get it, but lets face it, mots buyers don't do their homework, so many times they're not even aware that they're paying too much. they actually trust their sales person.   my point is that it would be nice if dealers would not be greedy and simply sell these cars for what the manufacturer says they're worth. each time someone pays over msrp, it becomes harder for the rest of us to get a good deal. that's all i'm saying.

Replying to: mplshondadlr (Nov 20, 2008 2:56 pm) look, all i'm saying is that anyone who pays over msrp is a fool. it is my belief that this makes it harder for others to walk into a dealer and simply buy a car at msrp or less. Replies to this message: prufrock1 (Nov 21, 2008 5:46 pm)

Replying to: dhectorg (Nov 20, 2008 4:09 pm) I thoroughly researched vehicles over the summer and concluded that for me the '09 Honda Fit Sport AT was the best bang for the buck. On www.autosatinvoice.com, I was told that to get this car at invoice at that time was a good deal. After more research, I agreed and bought my Fit at MSRP (with the all-season mats). I am happy beyond words with this purchase. Those of you quibbling over a couple hundred dollars may want to reconsider the Honda reliability factor. Years ago, instead of buying a CRV, I opted for a cheaper replicant. Ouch: thousands of dollars later, to this day, I regret this decision. When I bought the Fit, gas was double what it is now; thus, some currently argue that they can get a more substantial vehicle instead of scaling down to such an econobox. OK, do this. I project that after the election the price of gas will soar. Regardless, I actually look forward to driving my Fit daily; it remains one of my best "investments."
#1896 of 2418 Got my new Fit today by tiff_c Nov 21, 2008 (9:23 pm)
Yes it finally arrived today. Cost to me was $0 as I traded in my 2008 Honda Civic Si in for it. So it was a wash. The dealer gave me an even swap. My Si had 11,700 miles on it. No Floor mats, nothing extra but a 2009 Fit Sport Auto, so overall I'm pleased.
#1897 of 2418 Socal fit buyers. I need your opinions by ohplezz Nov 22, 2008 (6:54 pm)
Replying to: nascartrash (Oct 16, 2008 6:31 am) I'm in socal and I've been shopping for a fit for a couple of days and I was wondering what you guys from Socal thought about this offer for a new 09 fit sport manual. I've got him down to this. I'm in SD. I've heard I can get better deals in OC or LA or riverside county at Penske Honda but it is a major pain getting up there for me. This is my best offer from a SD dealer. Yea or Nay??   Selling Price 16,318.00 Documentation fee 55.00 CA License fee 182.00 CA Tire fee 8.75 CA Electronic filing fee 28.00 CA Sales Tax (7.75%) 1268.91 Total OTD Price $17,860.66 Replies to this message: dhectorg (Nov 23, 2008 2:14 pm) Sbu_01 (Dec 08, 2008 11:58 am)
#1898 of 2418 09 Fit Sport Automatic Blackberry Pearl by goldenmonkey76 Nov 23, 2008 (1:09 pm)
My wife and I picked up the Fit yesterday. We did pay MSRP but the dealer gave us the floor mats and 3 free oil changes. The bottom line is this is the best vehicle for us and the price was reasonable to me ($18,900 O.T.D).   We put about 70 miles on it yesterday. We both took turns driving it as we did our errands. I thought it did very well in city traffic. It didn't feel underpowered at all to me. It was smooth and a pleasure to drive. It has a really comfortable driving position. We took advantage of the magic seats while shopping and we thought they were sweet. We look forward to having our Fit for years to come.   Good times.....
