Base 2009 Fit in N.E. Pa by jjmonth4

$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...

Everything is negotiable, including the doc fee. I live in MD and have bought cars in MD and VA. VA dealers are notorious for having a higher doc fee of $300 to $400 compared to $100 in MD. It's just more built in profit for the dealers. When they say everyone pays it, just tell them to take it off the price of the car and see what they say!

Fit Sport w/ AT, Denver Colorado by maggiethelab

Just got home with Fit Sport, Auto Transmission, NO navigation system.
 
Ralph Schomp Honda, highly recommend them if you don't want to feel dirty buying a car.
 
Selling Price: $17,580
Taxes 4.1%: 720.78
 
Total OTD: $18,300.78
 
That's it, no other fees of any kind. I've seen other posts at or below invoice, but in calling around here in Denver the Fit is still at or above MSRP. I didn't go onto other lots looking, only dialed internet managers and asked for quotes.
 
Low pressure dealer, F&I guy nicely explained other features we could purchase that were declined. These included:
- extended warranty
- free tires, windsheild and other small maintenance items for life,
- chip/dent repair
- clear coat/interior protection
- LoJack
 
Out of all of these the tire/windshield sounded the most interesting, at around $1300. My insurance covers windshield replacement, and without being able to do a comparison to know how many tire changes this added up to I didn't feel comfortable buying on the spot.
 
Financing was 5.25% for 60 mos, could have gotten 5% at 48 mos, our option to put $ down or not (they would finance up to 100% of the purchase price).

It was DCH Honda of Lemon Grove.
 
Just got the car today, and it was awesome. They were great to work with, no nonsense and straight up. It's a very nice dealership too (they just build it in May).
 
The Fit is beautiful.

i'm in the bay area looking to get the same car you got. what dealerships around here will go for 18500 or less? what dealership in socal did you buy from? i'd be willing to drive down for the best deal. best offer i got so far in the bay area is 18900.
 
thanks

You would drive from the Bay area to L.A. to save $400.00

i'd preferably like to buy locally, but if there's a substantial savings i would drive down to socal--i like to visit every now and again anyway so...
 
i would like to know where the other poster bought from in socal to use as leverage against the local dealers.

I would say if you were already going to LA for whatever, then yeah, that makes sense. But, if you planned a trip just to buy a Fit for $400.00 then you really should think twice.
 
Lets say you're in Oakland and the Fit you want to buy is at Hollywood Honda because they're going to save you $400.00. Assuming you make the Bay area average of $26.00 per hour (just less then $60K). Driving to LA will take about five to six hours which is half a days wages. But then you have to drive back, another half days wages. Thats just in dollars per hour. But, I'm sure you value your free time more then what you earn per hour during the work week and you probably have far better things to do with your time on a Saturday or Sunday.
 
What I suggest is you start emailing dealers in SoCal to get quotes for the Fit you're interested in buying. Then, bring those quotes in to the nearest dealer and see if they'll match it.
 
Good luck
