Replying to: fitman548 (Sep 19, 2006 2:37 pm) Dealerships usually want it on cash deals for verification purposes. Fraud alerts can pop-up, indicating you may not be who you are claiming to be (identity). Sometimes it also helps us decide whether or not that check you just wrote is worth the paper it's written on... (I had a 464 credit score try to stroke a $42000 check once... coulda been coincidence, coulda been he was fleeing the country lol...) If you actively monitor your credit reports (which EVERYONE should, for the $10 or so a month it costs), you could literally give almost anyone your SSN (within reason) and not have too much to worry about. Dealerships are far safer with your SSN than most employers are anyway. They watch us. They want us to screw up  So don't worry about ponying it up for a cash deal. It's not that big of a worry... really. T

| I paid MSRP (plus the $99 dealer fee) at the dealership in Ellicott City, MD. The purchase experience was great -- the dealership didn't try to sell me any unwanted options, nor did they play the "what kind of payments are you thinking of" game. | |

Replying to: sniffles (Sep 18, 2006 3:56 pm) I did find out on Saturday that my Fit delivery has been delayed from the end of Sept. to Oct. 10-14. Hope they are being honest with me.

There is a dealership that has a USED (yes used - apparently the guy who bought it got screwed at another dealer for financing) FIT base model with A/T, splash guards, wheel locks, tinted windows (owner), and pinstripe (owner) with only 1,100 miles. dealer is asking $15,881 and not a penny less. It is honda "certified" so there is an extra 3 year warranty. Is this an okay deal considering a brand new FIT is only $15,393 MSRP? I would appreciate any feedback...

| I have had my name and deposit on a Fit at our local dealer since early August. Originally the dealer made an "error" and realized the car I had reserved was actually already reserved for another customer, so I had to wait until another arrived. When the new car showed up about a month later, unfortunately my husband was out of town and I wasn't going to purchase without his input, so we had to forfeit that one as well since they wouldn't hold it for us (understandable). Today I just got a call from the dealer saying too many Fits have been reserved by their internet department, and that the manager isn't allowing that. So without a signed purchase contract, they will no longer hold the car for us. It seems that dealers are pretty much doing whatever they want with this car due to the demand, but does this sound acceptable? I'm a little ticked because we've been waiting so long and have been putting off our purchase decision until this car came in so we could be sure it was (or wasnt) the one. I have a feeling Honda made the decision for us. | |
