Doc fees are meaningless as long as you get the full price with all fees from the 10+ dealers you get email bids from within 100-200 miles of you, usually last week of the month.
  
At some point, with prices for the Fit in the 17000 range (sans TT), and excitement generated in the mid 16000's, eventually one may want to explore other options. The civic forum has several posts on civic ex at's in the low 17000's. Lx's with alloys and spoiler in the low 16,000's. Accords in the 18000s.
 
The 09 18500 Mazda 3 i touring value auto may be had for about 15000 and change, The hatch perhaps in the low 16000's. . A Nissan versa $16000-18000 hatch or sedan for about 12000-14000s. A $19500 pontiac vibe or toyota matrix-- $15400 or or perhaps less.
  
The kia spectra forum has a $17500 car similar to the elantra, for possibly $11500 or so. The hatch model perhaps in the 12000's . Worth investigating if true. The -09 Rio5 5dr hatch rates highly and perhaps available in the 12000's also.
 
The new Hyundai Elantra 09 touring auto hatch (msrp 19400) may be doable for the mid 15000's or less. The Elantra rates well, has a 100k mi warranty and the editiors claim it has the most cargo space in the world. (or a lot of cargo space)
 
Kia 09 Rondo LX 5dr hatch auto would be good if doable in the 13 000's or so. (msrp approx 18000)-kinda like a Mazda5 without the sliding door. Also 100k mi warranty.
  
Good luck

can I ask what two dealers - the one that was $50 less and the one you went with? I'm also in the Boston area (Lowell) and have been to several dealers in the area.
 
Thanks

You all seem very knowledgeable and I keep hearing about invoice price/dealer cost and try to get a deal below invoice. I think I did good with the negotiating but wanted to ask you all if this was a good deal. Live in California so taxes are crazy here
 
$14762 (includes $670 destination charge) for the Fit Base model Automatic red
 
final cost was a bit more because taxes and dmv fees here are higher
taxes $1444.66
license/title/etc fees $295
total cost $16557

Dealership is north of Houston (Kingwood) - Sterling McCall Honda
 
I did a lot of internet shopping and read a lot on these forums and it was very very helpful. I'm extremely happy about my purchase. Most of the dealers here told me a deal for under $18k was ridiculous, but I made it somehow. I had almost every dealer in Houston quote me via email first and went to go see the 4 that had the lowest prices quoted. Make sure to have them disclose if the price they're quoting you includes all fees and list out all the extras that they have added (OTD pricing). I told them over the phone that I was prepared to walk away if I got to the dealership and the prices were above what we discussed for OTD pricing. I got to a couple dealerships and they pulled the "Oops, sorry that's without TT&L..." etc) before and got sick of it. My car had been on the lot for a while, so I guess it was worth it for them to move inventory.
 
Happy Fit hunting!

That looks like one of the better deals I've seen posted for Texas. I'll certainly keep that figure in mind, thanks for sharing.

Fit Sport 5AT. Going from memory, about $17,175, plus $149 doc fee and taxes. Probably not the world's best deal, but we had to buy here (had we gotten bids from Indianapolis, we'd have been bluffing). Got a very fair price on our trade, which bumped us from the manual to the auto.

one other note - they offered an additional $500 off if we financed, but we didn't take them up on it. Said this was an incentive from Honda.
