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). |

Replying to: ralphwiggum1 (Jan 13, 2009 4:13 pm) 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

Replying to: ralphwiggum1 (Jan 16, 2009 10:33 pm) I have a friend with the Civic/NAV and I have a Garmin Nav. I love being able to take my Nav in and out of the house to program new places I have to go. I also love taking it on trips to visit people so when I ask a friend in NJ to drive me to Brooklyn, I turn on the Nav to help them out. I love turning on the Nav if I am out of town and want to know where to eat by requesting restaurants in the are area and I love having Nav when my car is out of commission like when it got totaled so I could have it for the rental. These little Nav systems are pretty darn handy and it is so great to have a portable system. IF the NAV on the Fit came with satellite, I know it would be a bit more tempting like on the Civic you get Satellite on the Nav but it is just not tempting spending extra money on Nav and then still not having the setup for Sat radio which you may not want now but you might want later.... I think I have pretty much made some points but I will not argue that I think the satellite screen just looks cool and another thing is that I think the the hole that that they need to tap into to install aftermarket satellite radio is in a slightly handier place on the Nav cars.... Also, some people have complained about the traction control or whatever that stability system is that comes with Nav. I have no comment, I know nothing about this except it will be a mandatory feature in the next car model year... Good luck and I hope everything works out. Check the dealer inventory and see if it is piling up like it is here in Atlanta...I am able to check on cars.com with a zipcode search, see if they do that in LA....

I just put a deposit on a black Fit Sport MT from Meyer Honda in O'Fallon, IL. Since I'm currently overseas, my main goal was to have a car available for pick up during a house hunting trip, and not spend my time driving around the St Louis area. Plus, if I have to take the car to the dealer later on, it's nearby. Therefore, for convenience, I decided to pay MSRP for the car & mats. I'm paying cash, by the way. I plan to pick up a Garmin 850 GPS at Sam's Club for $400; it has voice recognition and is rated very highly. Here's my total: 2009 Fit Sport MT $16,930.00 All Season Floor Mats 130.00 Document Processing Fee 99.00 Sales Tax 1,115.00 License & Title-New 143.00 Transit Tax 20.00 Total (out the door) $18,437.00 |
