Replying to: koleso (Dec 27, 2008 3:26 pm) Excellent story. I appreciate all of the effort required to post your story, and your results. But it sounds like you went through a lot of work to get the final $100! Couldn't you have saved yourself a lot of time and negotiations if you had simply gotten the original $16,486 quote honored? Or am I wrong? |

Here in San Diego: I just paid $17,800.00 OTD for a 2009 Honda Fit, Sport A/T in Tidewater Blue. So the base came out to being $16,267.00 before tax, licensing and registration fees. The only thing that sucked is that even with a good credit rating, the best rate they could give me was 6.99% financing over all periods. I just ended up paying cash for the whole thing. Seems like a there are two dealerships in San Diego that are willing to go down to that price. I didn't want mats thrown in as I wanted to get the WeatherTech ones. Does anyone on this forum have them (and if they do, do they like them?) ?

I got my Honda Fit from Pohanka in Marlow Heights, MD. Retrospectively, I think my wife's offering 15,500 OTD and then walking away was a wrong move. But this is just a speculation. |

I just left a dealership, with a final OTD quote of $17,986 for a 2009 Honda Sport Fit manual transmission (no navi, no extras). That's: $15,364 car $670 destination $21 tags >>> $599 <<< documentation fees 8% GA tax The documentation fees are absurd. BUT - even if I add $500 of that back into the price of the car (assuming $100 doc fees is more reasonable), it puts me at $15,864, which is still under MSRP of $16,060 before destination. Can't decide if I want to go for it or not, but imagine that the price might change tomorrow (as books close on the year tonight).... A second dealer here in Atlanta said they'd match but could never beat the price,.. just not sure. What would you do?

Replying to: moolman (Jan 01, 2009 3:09 am) I would like to comment on this sentence you wrote regarding up front doc fees: "Same with the doc fee, it's a set fee up front so you just take it into consideration." As a GA resident, I can tell you that when purchasing a car, Honda does not really tell you about how high the doc fee is and it does sort of come as a surprise. You have to either remember to ask...I remember negotiating 400 off MSRP on my 07 and found out there would be a 500 doc fee...I found out before going into the dealership and was disappointed on the phone but went ahead with the deal knowing I was going to have this fee in most Honda places. This year I see the doc fees are almost 600 dollars and again, I was negotiating for a FIT, this one was pre owned, got a good price and then asked about fees and for 599 fee, the price on this preowned car was not good anymore, the OTD price was going to be more than I could spend... So then, while you think it is all in the negotiation, it really is not because when supply is high you can get your typical 0-400 off MSRP and pay the 600 doc fee. If supply is low, maybe you can get a better deal but probably not significantly better on average and the dealer still collects the 600 fee. I guess I am wrong if you have a low doc fee and pay above MSRP, then it would balance out to our scenario of getting a discount and paying a high doc fee but hopefully for now, people are not paying above MSRP.... ok thanks for listening to my two cents. I just think people do not buy cars often enuf to remember to ask about the doc fees. I guess they are on window stickers but not always and I never look at a window sticker in a dealership since on the FIT we should know what options are on the car and we know the MSRP of the car since it was selling at MSRP for a while....

$15999 OTD according to sales agreement I signed yesterday ($300 off MSRP, doc. fee only $100, tax and tags.) I have not been through F&I yet, but already pre-approved for 5.99% APR for up to 60 months. Dealer says they can beat APR also. If F&I doesn't grind me too much, this'll be a pretty good deal... |
