You cannot compare the 2008 and 2009 because the models are completely different. With the 09 overhaul everyone seems to agree that there were a lot of improvements. Since I had both model years I can tell you that cars drive very differently. The 09 is easier to be in for longer periods of time and is an overall more pleasant experience. I would never buy the navigation system. It looks cool but for one or two hundred dollars, you get a portable one like my GARMIN and have it for trips and other things. Good luck and perhaps there are other deals in addition to the two options you posted from other Honda dealerships..things change often. Good luck!

$16,293.00 2009 Honda FIT Sport (5AT) (includes destination) 556.50 Dealer fees ($469 doc fees & $87.50 dealer prep) 1,010.97 6% Cherokee County sales tax 42.00 Tag/ title/ lemon law $17,902.47 TOTAL I second earlier comments on the Navi unit. The problem I have is that I intend to keep any car for 8-10 years. My 1995 Legend (purchased in 98) goes bye bye for this new car. Anyway, it's frightening how much is integrated into the Navi Unit. If the display fails for some reason you're SOL. It can't be cheap to replace. I can buy the state of the art portable navi unit every few years for the next decade for the price of the upgrade. Not to mention some of the aftermarket ones are quite a bit better. The only thing I regret not getting the Navi was not having integrated satellite radio. If only a portable Navi also had XM or Sirius.

hi - so i've been scouring this board for hints, and have decided to just come out with my question. i'm looking for a barely used Honda Fit (a "cream puff", as i've learned). i have one '08 in mind at a dealer asking 15K "eprice". their dealership fee is $500, then there's the taxes and DMV fees. i have never bought a car before so am trying to do all the research i can to start negotiating this weekend. my main asset is that i can pay cash (check, rather) with no need to finance. the tips i've read say that your initial offer should be low but "in the ballpark." what does that mean??? if my max drive out price is, say 15K (which i'm not even sure the dealer would go for), do i need to start off at......13K? is that when they laugh and i walk away....and they don't reconsider? i know i'm also not supposed to get attached to this particular car. any tips greatly appreciated. i'm also dealing with the single woman going to the lot factor, so am trying to invoke all the nerves of steel i have at my disposal. difficult as this is also my first time, but i want to learn. thanks!!

Replying to: sarahsong (May 21, 2009 11:57 am) With all that said, the application fees are nuts, and they do that and you cannot really avoid that stuff but you can figure out a drive out price which includes your tax and their fees etc. Tell them you really don't care how they get to your price but your price is your price,,,it is the amount you have available to spend. Do not low ball them, it is very annoying, it indicates you do not know what you are doing and that you are attempting to play games. In general, Honda dealers are the least responsive to this game and they will not chase you or call you back. If you want, you can call the dealers, tell them your offer, and they can take it or leave it but you need to be prepared to leave it. There is a surplus of Fits out there (I don't know if it is true for used ones) but it seems that people will deal with you,,,right now they like getting the cash. I used cash. Also put around 2500-4000 on a credit card for reward points. They do not like going above 2500 but they have gone to 4000 for me in the past. Good luck, do not rush, and keep an open mind. I think they would rather sell you a new Fit 09 to move a unit so just have two numbers in mind. A drive out price for a new one and how much you are willing to spend for a new one! good luck sue
