Replying to: atl400 (Jul 08, 2006 4:06 pm) Wow, I cannot believe how many people are willing to pay so much over MSRP and still get stiffed elsewhere. Is the market for these things that tight in the US? In Calgary, Alberta Canada I got mine for about $600 UNDER MSRP with floor-mats, chrome exhaust and block-heater thrown in! They had about 10 on the way (unreserved) and I had my choice of any color I wanted. Had the car in under a week. Is everyone not negotiating with these dealers?

Replying to: kingpenguin78 (Jul 08, 2006 9:41 pm) Yeah, its definitely a different situation here in Southern California... coming away with no markup and no add-ons is a feat worthy of international recognition (okay, maybe its not that big of a deal...). My guess is that cars with good MPG are something of a fashion statement/philosophical statement these days, and this is even more true in trendy SoCal. Canada has always had a high percentage of non-SUV's on the road but in the US smaller vehicles are just starting to make a comeback while supply isn't quite there yet (the dealers have plenty of guzzling trucks though). Increased demand coupled with tight supply yields higher prices/dealer markups/prospective buyers lusting after MSRP. Or at least thats my $0.02
#491 of 2420 Still waiting for my Fit Sport AT by gdub4 Jul 10, 2006 (3:33 pm)
7 1/2 weeks ago my wife and I put down a deposit for a Fit Sport AT. We were told by the salesman that we should have our car within 6 weeks. I have my current car sold now and was just told not to expect to get my Fit until mid September! I am highly agitated and would start my vehicle search again but I don't want to give up my deposit. Besides it just burns me that the dealership could care less because they know that someone else will jump through hoops to get my Fit if I walk. Any suggestions?

Replying to: gdub4 (Jul 10, 2006 3:33 pm) Was in a similar situation, but we actually had a VIN, delivery date and time when we received a call and were told the car wasn't on the lot to be prepped for delivery. Check in hand and pretty t'd off we spoke to the sales manager. The dealership provided a loaner car until we took delivery of the promised car about 10 days later. It was a very stressful time. We called the dealership everyday to check the progress of our vehicle from the port of entry, across the country to the depot, and to our dealer. Did you ask for a loaner car?

Replying to: bluebell2 (Jul 10, 2006 4:46 pm) No, I did not ask for a loaner. Even if I did, I would not expect them to comply since we are still two and one half months away from the expected delivery date. My wife laid down the law and sent me to get our deposit back. We'll see what happens. I read that someone else had to file a grievence with Honda corporate before getting it back. If the salesman had just been honest and upfront about the wait, I would not have arranged the sale of my existing car so quickly. Replies to this message: ptchang (Jul 12, 2006 8:32 pm)
#494 of 2420 We're getting ANOTHER Fit! by dewaltdakota Jul 04, 2006 (12:12 pm)
Well, my other half has finally given in, and decided she wants to sell her 2002 Civic LX and get herself a Fit Sport Auto. Not only is it the same model as mine, but she wants it in the same color, too! My dealer has another Vivid Blue Auto Sport coming in, that was built on the 30th of June... so the arrival should be mid to late July. We took her car to CarMax, to see what the low-end number would be, if her Fit comes in before we can sell it ourselves. She's pushing 74k miles, so they offered $7500 for it (right in KBB's range). Not awful, but we should be able to sell it for more. Here's to getting back in line!

Replying to: dewaltdakota (Jul 04, 2006 12:12 pm) Congrat's!! That's good to hear - she must really be happy with yours. What is it about the Fit that made her decide to give up the Civic? My dealer called yesterday to tell me my Storm Silver Sport w/ AT has arrived in CA and will be arriving in town by the end of the week (AZ). I've been waiting (semi-patiently) since 24 Apr - I just sold my truck so there's an empty space in the garage all ready!!

Replying to: dap2006 (Jul 04, 2006 12:26 pm) We just sold our Expedition so we also have an open spot in the garage waiting for the Red Sport AT that will arrive in August Very glad to be rid of the Ford. Bubba Replies to this message: dap2006 (Jul 04, 2006 2:50 pm)

Replying to: bprenderson (Jul 04, 2006 12:38 pm) "We just sold our Expedition so we also have an open spot in the garage..." Expedition? You could "fit" 2 or 3 new Fit's in there now!

Replying to: dewaltdakota (Jul 04, 2006 12:12 pm) The same model and color? Won't that be a little confusing? Might need to get some of those vanity plates: "HIS FIT" and "HER FIT" (or maybe "MS FIT".
