My price and interesting details, continued... by twicebit

It cut off the bottom of my post. Bottom line is that Sales didn't provide me this Maintenance Guide which basically gives me that 100k mi Ext Warr at no charge. I believe they didn't do this because had they given it to me, I'd have read that I already had that warranty without needing to pay them $1800 for it. I may not have all the facts but am going to go back to my salesman and ask for a printed document showing what the Ext Warr covers. If its the same things or many of the same things their ____________fidence covers for free, I'm going to let someone know they're ripping people off. If its not the same stuff, then its only my erroneous suspicion and I'll let it go.
 
Overall I am very pleased with my FIT. I was going to pay cash but found that I qualified to finance it for 72 mo 3.99% simple interest with payments of only $204.50, and I can pay it off at any time with no penaly (standard in this industry).

The car is for my g/f and she values cuteness over practicality since I can get a well equipped Civic OTD for less. She's on a budget too which confounds things as well....

I'd get a base model Mini. It's cute, it's fun, and it depreciates like $500 a year, tops. Just get the base model with no bling or accessories on it other than maybe traction control or other mechanical options.

Sorry Mason 2009 i havent been on here for months so I missed your question. I got the base fit auto transmission for 14,762 (with taxes $1444.66 and license/title/etc fees $295 the total cost was $16557) but that was end of may and I am not sure if you will still get a base under 15K now that cash for clunkers is happening but my car was purchased in the bay area at honda san leandro. It was a good deal for the price of the car but alameda county taxes here at pretty much 10% kills the great deal on the cost. Try internet sales department at the dealers I found them to be cheaper and nicer to work with. Good luck

In my humble opinion, the service department can't be trusted. Instead, look at the Honda (manufacturer) maintenance schedule in the book in the glove compartment.
 
Yes, the dealer/service department will come up with all sorts of "official looking" documents, but ignore them. They just want your cash.
 
Use the Honda (manufacturer) maintenance schedule.

Great story, thanks for taking the time--I like stories with a lot of detail.
 
Just a few questions that came to mind as I read if you have time to reply:
 
Why were they giving you scrap value/trade allowance on a CFC? Isn't it just 4500 on the CFC? Why would they give you both? Thought it was one or the other--which ever is higher?
 
Where were you able to get a 3.99% loan on a FIT?
 
I didn't understand the extended warranty thing. Are you saying that they were trying to sell you an extended warrenty to 100K that was already included in your purchase price?
 
Thanks again for taking the time.

Without commenting on the rest of your comments, In Dash Factory Navigation is expensive, but its because its a world of difference in quality than dash top removable navigation. For one, its more accurate because it uses multiple antennas and it knows at all times and instantly what direction your vehicle is headed. That technology alone is expensive. Next, while removable GPS is always a theft threat and can result in costs to replace broken glass also--In Dash Navigation is rarely stolen. GPS on the dash also looks esthetically bad, has power wires exposed, and blocks your vision from the road.
 
I think that you have to weigh these factors verses the costs.
 
Thanks.
