Got refund on sales tax for $4500 CFC voucher by hmowner
Aug 18, 2009 (9:50 pm)
Reply
I got a refund check from the dealer (Penske Honda) for sales tax that was applied to the purchase price BEFORE subtracting the $4500 CFC voucher trade in - about $315 (7% sales tax, Indiana). It is evident that in Indiana, the sales tax is calculated AFTER the $4500 CFC trade in is applied to the price of the car only, but not the doc fees.
 
Thus, my revised OTD for Fit Sport Auto purchased on 7/20 is: $13,395.73 after CFC $4,500 trade-in:
 
16,154 - price
710 - destination
-4,500 - CFC trade in
865.48 - tax
16.25 - Tire Fee
140.00 - Doc Fee
10.00 - Filing Fee (?)

Honda Fit Sport bought in CT by wrdgirl

This is an orange Honda Fit Sport AT:
 
Price: 16740 (approx., can't remember the exact price)
Doc fee: 299 (insane CT doc fee)
Sales tax: 6%
OTD: 18256.78
 
Other dealers offered me 17400+ for the exact same car, only Schaller Honda of New Britain gave me the lowest offer. But that sort of bothers me...

Hi, I have a clunker, and I want to get some advices here on whether I should wait until the last minute before disclosing I have a clunker qualify for the c4c program? Or I should tell them I have one up front?
 
Thanks

Can you confirm that this was a Fit Sport w/ AT, and not a Fit Base w/ AT? Sounds like a great deal for a Fit Sport. I'm in the market too - would you mind sharing the dealership that you bought from?

hey yfactor:
 
yep, it was a Honda Fit/Sport AT in Black. I got it at Fletcher Jones Imports on Clark, the sales staff wasn't the greatest but I got it for a good price so who cares really. My sales rep was named Matt and I initially reached him through email and got the offer/price worked out before I even walked through the door.
 
Good luck.

Sorry for the late reply. You can't pick and choose options with the Fit, except for auto or manual transmission and the color of the car. There are just the Base, Sport, and Sport with Navigation (which also includes stability control) models. There are some dealer installed items like floor mats and fancy shifter knobs and such, but none were included in my deal.
 
Sales tax in CA depends on where you live (not where you buy the car -- so don't drive 20 miles to a dealer in another county if you think you'll save 1% on sales tax). For me in SF it was $1657. Doc fees is a vague term. I paid $288 for plates and registration (no way to negotiate that, as it goes to the state), and about $90 to the dealer for processing. It probably takes them all of 5 minutes to do the paperwork, but I can live with that.
 
I may have missed some minor items but bottom lines:
 
Price (incl dest charge): $16,650
Out the door price: $18,610
After CFC voucher: $14,110
 
The clunker was a 2000 Ranger pickup (18 mpg according to the EPA, but I never got that) with non-functional AC and non-functional cruise control, and it smelled like dog and had chewed up seats (Bad puppy!) and a "check engine" light that had been on for about 4 months.

I was hoping my dad's 10 year old Toyota corolla would qualify CFC, but it did not. Without $4500 rebate, the FIT is just too expensive for such small car. Honda of serramonte offered me $16988 (includes dest.). Not much cash back from Honda. I figured OTD is around $18500 for a Fit sport. I went for a Nissan Versa instead.
 
Yaris is cute; Fit is cool; Versa is neither cute, nor cool. But it is practical and more value for its cost.

'09 Versa SL Hatchback by sandman_6472

My kid got this and she just loves it. I like the seat height as I can slide right over...no dropping down into the seat, and with my spinal problems, this is a gotta have feature. She tried the Fit but was very unimpressed with what one got for the $ as compared to the Versa...bigger rebate and a bigger interior.

Sandman,
 
Please post your buying experience and OTD detail under Versa SL forum. Share your thoughts about the process. Any hassle dealing with sales rep?
