Replying to: mr2freak (Jan 11, 2008 1:36 am) It is supply and demand and as long as dealers can't keep them on the lots they don't discount them (some even charge over MSRP). As long as Honda sells them as fast as they make them then they are not going to offer any promo deals on them. I don't know is buying them and why they do, but I have a friend with one and they love it - but paid full price. When my daughter purchased her Civic in 06 we could have purchased a similar Accord for LESS money (due to incentives and dealers willing to deal on price) but she paid MORE for a Civic because that is what she wanted. I guess that is why folks buy them - they are hard to get and you don't see them everywhere, they are Hondas, not too expensive, and get great MPGs. Most folks don't lease and just let the dealer do the financing deals so they don't see they could have (to some) more car for less money getting something else. Quite often folks pick the car then try to find the deal and they don't pick the deal and settle for whatever car that ends up being. There is also something that spurs folks on when they are told that something is hard to get or rare or limited - that just makes that even more attractive. If there were dozens of Fits sitting on every lot and you saw them everywhere in traffic, the appeal would drop some, I would think. Dennis |

Replying to: mr2freak (Jan 10, 2008 7:12 pm) The '08 Honda Fit only has a $500 or so spread between its dealer invoice price and its full MSRP, plus Honda is not currently providing any cash incentives on it, plus it has been selling pretty well. As a result, don't expect to get much of a discount, if any, on one right now. Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum

Replying to: Car_man (Jan 23, 2008 2:18 am) I got a BS figure from the dealer on the residual for the fit so they quoted me a lease in the 350/month range  I seem to be unable to get the lease calculator to spit out figures that look decent--operator error I'm sure. Using the .00255 and and 500 off msrp its giving me 295 a month? Yikes. 60month finance is only a few bucks more. EDIT: I just plugged in the figures from some of hondas advertised deals and it works out when I pull out the tax and reg so I guess I was just shocking myself with the numbers generated by putting nothing down  Comparing the fit against the 199 civic lx sedan deal the fit seems to cost about 215 a month even considering the rotten money factor. So I guess its just a matter of which one we like more.
