Wow its amazing the dealers are getting for these.cars. It was a rush buy and I didnt think about this model when shopping for my daughter. We ended up buying a Civic LX for $16,700 (dest included) dealer options were EPP, Tint, Mud Flaps, Pin Stripes, Trunk Tray and wheel locks. Seems like the Civics are not as hot and they are comming way down on the prices.
Good luck with the Fit everyone.

Ha ha. I agree it is overpriced. it's nice I like it but to me this is a 17k otd car not 18k. Looking at fit sport AT, Scion Xb & Kia Soul +. Scion just lowered there msrp price by 3% I believe to compete with the New Kia. From what I have gathered could get fit for around 18k otd, Scion xb around 18k otd, Kia Soul + for around 17k otd. Just my thoughts:) gonna do some test drivin' & chiselin' this weekend:)

I completely agree, dealers are overstocked w/ these good mpg cars and charging top dollar in hopes gas prices rise this summer. OPEC announced they were not going to jack up gas prices it is just a matter of when car dealers/manufacturers decide to lower there overinflated prices on these cars. 18k OTD for a rollerskate w/ cheap carpet, no ESC, no armrests & drum brakes in this economy is worth no more than 16k period.....I talked to a honda salesman who emphasised that the fit was on the cover of consumer reports rated as a best value. I disagree,maybe at the time of print it was, however, I'd rather buy a scion xB, which has lowered it's price, is more car same price or the all new 2010 Kia Soul +which is 1-2k cheaper. My $.02  its to bad i can't consider any american cars in this class cause they all suck. although ford a year to late 4 me (2010 spring) will release the fiesta hatch wich has promise.

Even OPEC doesn't change the oil supply, USD will eventually go down because the increase of money supply from fed. That means gas and foreign currency will go up. So it is a good time to buy a fuel efficient japanese car now.

dealers are stock piling these cars. i know gas price will eventually go up but hopefully later than sooner;) they'll have to discount 09's so they can roll out the 2010 models. waiting 4 may-june to pull trigger all the while hoping gas price stays low. dealers will have to discount just to get em off the lot.

I just got a quote from a dealer here in Dallas for a Fit Sport man w/Nav for 17,910. Not sure what part of the state you're in, but $19k is way over what they are going for around here.

Just got a quote from a dealer in N. California. The OTD price is 20200 (tax 9.25%) Is it a good price now?

Well... the email below is what I got from a dealer.
Thank you again for the opportunity to be of assistance to you.
I'm not sure where you were getting the 18,000 out the door figure from. Edmunds.com list the true market value to be 17,432 and this is of course not including any optional equipment. So even if I used the source that you said you were using, then you can see where it is not mathematically possible to get to 18,000 out the door.
As I was stating to you I want to earn your business, however a 2009 Honda Fit Sport Automatic with the armrest, tint and wheel locks cannot be purchased for this amount including your tax, title and license.
If you are seriously considering the Fit, then you have to get your thinking up a little.
Please let me know how I can further assist you.
Thanks again for the opportunity to be of service to you and have a great day.
Sincerely,
|

I just cannot believe that you got that quote. Every dealer was over $18,000 for me for a Honda Fit S Auto. There was one dealer that quoted low, but their reviews were too poor and didn't visit the dealer. I am in Dallas, TX.

The car is worth what you are willing to pay for it. The right dealer can get to the right number. There is high inventory nationally from what I understand. Just name your price and do not buy it if you do not want to spend the money. If your set in your mind with a number stick to it. You may or may not get the deal, it just depends on how much time you have and how creative you are in terms of finding new dealers to talk in and in trying various approaches. Many do not agree with me and do not have time to waste and they just try to get the deal fast if possible via faxes...
I can see where he is coming from but you have to see if anyone wants to sell you a unit more than him.
