A 205-50-16 tire will make an excellent replacement for the stock 185-55-16 tires on the 2009 Fit Sports. The diameter is almost exactly the same, the additional 20 mm width (0.8 inches) won't create any issues with rubbing the wheel wells or suspension, and there are many tires available in that size - some very good ones at prices less than the 185-55-16's. With only 2000 miles on my Fit Sport the first tire change is still years off, but I know that the 205-50-16's will make a fine replacement.

"I don't think Americans really like small cars," said Beau Boeckmann, whose family's Galpin Ford in southern California is the country's largest Ford dealer. "They drive them when they think they have to, when gas prices are high. But we're big people and we like big cars."
 
No, people don't like the junk the companies in Detroit are making. Sucks to be a Ford dealership. And GM - shoot, they lost 25% of their stock price just today. As Obama said in the press release:
 
"GM has made a good faith effort to restructure over the past several months — but the plan that they've put forward is, in its current form, not strong enough."
 
In essence, even in a healthy economy, they would still be dying. Why? Because it's not the size of the cars - it's that nobody WANTS the cars. But they sure seem to want all the Minis and Fits that they can get their hands on. Sure, sales are slow, but they still do good volume. GM and Ford - you can't hardly give them away. After all, if you have $5 for food, why buy some TV dinner when there's so many other better options that aren't bland tasting?

2009 Taffeta White Honda Fit Sport with Nav from Wesley Chapel Honda via their Internet Sales Dept.
 
They told me they have: VIN# JHMGE886X9S060326
 
Today, I had someone local check if the car actually existed. Shocker - it doesn't. The person there said, "We just sold it today." Is there any way to verify by VIN # if that is true or not?
 
Maybe that's what happened, but this review on FitFreak.net isn't a good sign:
http://www.fitfreak.net/forums/honda-fit-dealer-reviews/31622-wesley-chapel-hond- - - a-tampa-fl.html
 
And because last time I bought a car, a lot that was not in writing was a lie, and some of what in writing (figures) contained errors...
 
This is a 2'nd car for me. I'm in no hurry and am willing to travel anywhere in Florida for the right deal (< 20k OTD price + wheel locks). This will also give me time to look at Kia Soul, the 2010 Nissan Cube (so funky looking! , and good used 3-year-olds. (Yes I can be fickle! But this is a 2'nd car!). . . I'll be there (Tampa) Friday & Saturday anyway now. If I search Cars.Com for Taffeta White or Milano Red, is it your experience that their inventory data is reasonably accurate? Again, I'm fine with traveling to get the right deal, though I'd probably want to stay in Florida. If anyone would like to email me recommendations for dealers specifically, or if you know for sure of a dealer with this model in stock, email me at brescianlute at gmail.com In general, how to protect myself from traveling a long distance and then find that the dealer does not have what they said they had?

I just wanted to stop by and tell everyone they might want to look in the Civic forum. People are getting amazing deals all around the country 2k - 3k off sticker and free dealer add-ons. I just bought one for my daughter for $2,500 under sticker with a ton of add-ons.

How did you get your Fit Sport AT at the OTD price of $17,870? I am looking for a fit sport at w/ center armrest and all the dealers are saying it's somewhere around high $18,000. I am in TX. Please give me some advice. Thanks!

Try your best. You can show my breakdown to the dealer. By the way, I bought my FIT from Sport Honda, MD.

I bought a used 2009 Fit Sport this past Saturday. It only had 4,400 miles on it and was only $15,988.00. I had hoped to get one with nav, but that didn't work out. I love it anyway. I got it at the Mazda Dealer in Johnson City TN. They were great to work with.

OTD price for 2009 Fit S Auto w/ armrest in TX by hondafit4me

Can anyone please tell me what is the reasonable OTD price for this car in TX? I have read some of your messages and many have paid less than $18,000 OTD. I have asked a few dealers near me and they are quoting higher than $19,000. Please help! Thanks!
