I am familiar with this dealer. This is the dealer to the "stars". They are notorious for this type of conduct. The plus is that they wheel and deal to sell cars like there is no tommorrow and like no one is looking or cares at Honda. So you can cut some great deals if you know your stuff because after you have burnt up 3-4 hours of their time and if you are not warn down, they will give in to keep what's left of the holdback and add a digit to their sales numbers. The negative is that they attract very sharp and skillful salespeople/managers from all over the US where you have to watch your back and if you have a problem after the sale you may feel like you are drifting off the coast of Malibu without a sail or motor. So you have to be SHARP to deal with em. You have to do your research, you have to be a little bit of an actor, (like most that shop there), you have to be willing to walk away, you may have to throw some of that, "who you talking to" body language at them, you need to have a good meal on you before you go in and lots of time. Its going to be a war, but if you are well armed, you will come out of it with the best deal anyone can have and they will respect you for it without ever saying it.

Looking into this a bit more, I found that
(a) New Jersey (unlike some other states) taxes the CFC rebate. So a $4500 CFC rebate is worth less after paying taxes.
Ref: http://salestax.wordpress.com/2009/07/28/cash-for-clunkers-taxable-or-not
Ref: http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2009/08/cash_for_clunkers_program_is_a.html
(b) The dealer said that if one uses CFC program ($4500 rebate) and leases a Honda Fit, then the the lease term cannot be less than 5 years. Is this true? Has anyone leased a Honda Fit for 3 years along with using CFC rebate of $4500?

Paddle shifters, smaddle shifters, those things are the biggest gimmick I've ever seen, just get a manual and have real control. Factory Navi systems are widely noted to be sub par so I don't feel the need to argue with your brainwashed statement that the fits is the best navi on the market, come on man. Go to car talk.com and look at car buying tips and check this out.

You seem like you aren't the type of person who listens to reason and like I said if you really believe that the floor mats are worth 200 dollars, spend away daddy war bucks. I mean we are talking about the Honda Fit dude, it is an economy car, it's not like your buying a corvette. Luxury cars don't have a "sport" package. So, I'll pull out the big guns, here is a list from Honda's own accessory site, and your trying to tell me I can't find them even cheaper through other channels.

That's a requirement of the C4C program... All leases must be at least 60 months..
Unless the manufacturer comes out with a special 60-month lease program (as Toyota did for the Corolla), you'll most likely be better off buying.

I have a text-to-speech Garmin which I purchased first and I now have the Honda Navi system in the car. In my OPINION, there is simply no comparison between the two. I can't say with absolute certainty however that it is the best manufacturer's Navi system on the market because I do not have enough knowledge about the navi systems in other cars but what I do know with certainty is that the Honda system is far superior to my portable text-to-speech Garmin which takes forever to locate its satellites. Respect the fact that people can have opinions that differ from yours. There is no right or wrong when it comes to an opinion or making a choice between a portable unit and a manufacturer's unit. It's strictly a matter of PERSONAL PREFERENCE and whether or not you think the more expensive option is worth the extra dollars.

My experience with Hennessy was much better. I am not sure why they are not doing C4C anymore, maybe the reason is the dealers are not getting paid on time. Now that Govt. has passed $2B more, the situation should change.
Also a dealer cannot by law give you a separate quote for c4c, not sure what is going on. So if you are still in the market, I can give you the name of my sales agent who I thought was pretty straight forward. However, if the dealership is not doing C4C then you may not have any choice.

Hard to understand WHY a store would sell the hottest car we have now that is in short to zero supply for 400.00 less than their invoice?
In addition, they had the huge hassle and expense of dealing with a clunker?
Scratching my head here, that's all....
