MSRP + tax, tags, and title with floor mats thrown in free of charge and no extra fees or add-ons. It's a Vivid Blue Pearl Sport AT, with an out-the-door price (counting everything, including sales tax) of $17,754.51. Expected arrival time is before the end of February but potentially sooner if a dealer trade can be arranged. I might have found a slightly better deal with enough effort, but there's not a lot of difference between invoice and MSRP on this car, so I'm happy enough. The order was placed with one of only two dealers out of 30+ we contacted who didn't either ask for more than MSRP or inflate the price with unwanted accessories or fee-padding. I'm happy with the dealer individually, but the shopping process itself was quite a headache and I'm very glad to be done with it. |

Replying to: fitluver (Dec 19, 2006 7:56 pm) Probably in response to the Fit, Toyota now offers a "package C" which combines power doors, steering, CD, ABS, and curtain air bags, plus sliding rear seats. I haven't competitively priced the yaris, but one Phoenix dealer offered me $15,631 otd. ("Your IDP*:$ $13924.00 [+] $1127.84 Tax, $205.00 Title & License $ 5 AZ tire Tax & $369 Doc fees= Out the Door: $15630.84"). The deal-breaker against Yaris for me is the two side doors, versus four for Fit. Worth it, if you think about a baby carseat. Plus Fit's cargo space is more than Yaris. I've owned Toyota's my whole life, currently own an Echo (highly recommend), and actually prefer the simplicity of yaris's insides compared with the Fit. But the doors and cargo are enough for me to wait a couple months as long as I can find msrp plus no add ons for the Fit. And that's the rub! |

Well I put down my deposit, for a lunar blue base MT. "In transit" as of 12/18, with a VIN number. I contacted about a dozen dealers in southern arizona and new mexico. MTs are hard to find. Dealer is saying here by January, seems to mesh with what folks here are saying. OTD for $16,192, or $2310 above invoice. Not nearly as good as the spanking deal by ciara1 (whose otd price was only $1,848 over invoice, 7.2% above msrp)! I could have gotten it for $16,130 if i were willing to order one (8-12 wks supposedly), but an ace in the hand was worth ten in the bush. As I discussed in previous posts, the dealer at first insisted on $600 tint/door guards, then $500 tint, finally agreed to none of them. I got an emailed "disclosure of numbers" listing the vin#, model, color and down payment etc; not sure if this is the same as a "buyer's order." If the deal goes through as planned I'll post specific dealer info to help others. In short, it can be done: You can get a Fit delivered within a month at msrp plus 12.1% overhead. |

| Has anyone figured out how much their dealer has made on their Fit? I guessemated--assuming 2.5% holdback and buying at msrp (but with $369 doc fee)--my dealer is making $1370 off my car. I'm assuming this is higher than one finds with new cars not so much in demand? | |
