Chas, you need to step away from the bong bro. So those evil honda corporate fat cats are putting a gun to your head eh, to make you buy that car? Hey I came here to see about the fit and I see these crazy writings that forced me to have to register and log in. And the oil companies are not rolling in the dough, they make 8 cents on the dollar. Wal-mart by comparison makes 4, although last year, 3.3. A well run auto company probably makes about 10 cents on the dollar. If you want evil, look no farther than Credit card companies, 20 cents on the dollar, of course, they also are not putting a gun to your head to use their product. So yes when oil prices and gas prices spike, Oil companies make more total money, yet their profit margin stays at around 8%. If last year they spiked their profit margin to 20%, then I would join you in protest. And as far as fossil fuel, while we may not be using gas as we know it today, our cars will be running on something very much like gas, be it bio-diesel or some other manufactured product, for a very long time. The energy punch of gas and diesel just blows everything else out of the water at the moment. Anyway, please people tell us the deals you got, because I see used fits going for what some of your are paying new and that is important information in my book.

I have a new 2009 Fit Sport with manual transmission and no accessories. $16,264 vehicle price (including destination charges) $569 tax (2.5 % AL state tax, 0.75 % city tax, 0.75 % county tax = 3.5 % total) $16.50 title fee $149.50 documentation fee $16,989 out-the-door total I did not finance through the dealership and no extended warranty or service was added to the price. I contacted 4 dealers in the region through the Edmund's quote system. Fortunately, my local dealer gave the best price. They found the exact car that I wanted (even color) from another dealership in the state and got it for me. That's very close to the Edmund's TMV price. I'm pleased considering that I didn't haggle and the salesperson was very friendly and low pressure. |

Replying to: danielbrian142 (Jun 17, 2009 3:33 am) I ended up with Grainger Honda. I would recommend Hughes Honda, which Edmunds.com lists as a premiere agency. I interacted with them via internet and phone calls. They are about 155 miles away and they could only match my best offer from Grainger, not better it, so I ended up with Grainger Honda. Hughes has excellent customer service and prices. |
