your ssn is very easy to get just off your first and last name...
 
I know a guy named Mark Smith. What is is SSN?
 
I think you need to do a little more research on that one.

I guess that you are referring to our dealership. The Fit will be sold at MSRP and Pre-sold at the same. The Fit's that are Pre-sold will not have any dealer installed options on the car, unless the customers want them on. The Fit's that make it through and are available for the "retail" side will probably a set of splash guards and maybe wheel locks on the Sport.
 
We don't do ADM's or "Market Value" mark-ups. After things settle down then there will probably be some discounting, although there's not much spread with this car.
 
We do approx 185-225 Hondas per month and although that's not a huge number by West coast standards, we are set to have 7-9 Fit's per month...thats a miniscule amount of any car of this type.
 
Now, there are some people talking about SSN's being required by a dealership. I cannot tell you why they would ask for this. I know that it is illegal for anyone to run your credit without your authorization. Here in MD you cannot run anyones credit from a drivers license. Maybe in the states that use the SSN as your DL number, but I don't know if any of those are left.
 
To the fellow who said that their dealership will sell to anyone, anywhere...more power to you. We prefer to have our customers closer to us. Each dealership has a different philosophy I guess.

We ask for a copy of your lic. because we had a vehicle stolen a while back and our insurance requires it. Also, the lic.'s in the area do not included SSN so it is impossible to run a credit check. It is also againt the law to run someones credit without the consenting.

How does that work? Do you have a fixed price already? If so, what is it?

I Have a Fit On Order by shneor

Tried to get AAA pricing, but there won't be any at least for awhile. But the dealer ordered one to my specs (base manual). How much? I don't know yet, but it will be priced at MSRP (plus delivery, tax, license, etc.). The dealer did not ask for a deposit.

April 20? by bostonjazz

I recall that April 20 has been one of the rumored dates for the Fit's arrival (on the lots?).
 
We called our salesperson at the dealership (where we put down a deposit quite a while back) and they had still not received any more information from Honda - neither the dates NOR the pricing.
 
For those of us registered in the "Society of Fit," Honda sent out a marketing e-mail that mentioned at the end:
 
"...download new wallpaper and stickers so you'll be ready when the Fit arrives on April 20, 2006"
 
So, I take this to be a "semi-official" arrival date.
 
The next question is when/how soon pricing information will be available.

Why is Detroit ignoring this rush to efficient high quality
cars? I see Scions everywhere and Honda is late to the party with the FIT.Ford offers nothing like it (low 20 mpg).GM had Daewoo build the AVEO but with cheap as the objective. The Caliber is stripped when priced like the FIT
(13k-14K).The last American car people went ga ga over was the PT cruiser and gets low 20 mpg.Now the lots are full of them.

I think you are right, although until we have our Ride and Drive things will be typically Honda mum.

Cruise Control by hpmctorque

The basic Fit is adequately equipped for my needs, except that it lacks cruise control. Can cruise control be ordered as a stand alone option, or is one compelled to upgrade to the Sport model to have this particular feature?
