He told me no other fees and he would deliver the car to my door (2 hours drive away) for no extra charge.
When I'm ready to buy, that's where I'm going.

Do it. Great car!
 
I plan to beat the 40 mpg mark by the middle of summer.

Try going through Costco or Sams Club. Dealers who sign with them have to comply with agreed pricing. I just bought the Base with AT for $15,250 plus tax and license. It will be delivered in about three weeks.

$14,650 is the MSRP for the base AT. May be this price includes the destination/docking fee of $600.
 
In general, I am guessing that most of people are paying over MSRP now, at least in Pacific NW. It seems that people are paying $1000 and up easily.

I looked into that, but none of the dealers in our area are participating with Sams. I'd have to buy a Chevy (yuck).

Yes. Doc and transportation fees are included. BTW the dealer made a hard run at getting me to "upgrade" to the Civic. I suspect the Fit is what car sales people call a "money" car because of the premium above invoice and they lost it on this one.

The Aveo has the worst reviews of any subcompact. The Hyundai Accent gets good reviews and sells at $500 below invoice through Sams. The Ford Focus also gets better reviews but no subcompact comes close to the Fit according to every review I read, including Edmunds, Consumers Reports and Car and Driver.

Fit Sport in the Bay Area (California) by yenching

Just got off the phone with a couple of dealerships in the Bay Area. Prices are above the MSRP prices for the Honda Fit Sport AT.
 
Here is what I got from email quotes and voice quotes (This includes only Destination Fee and no other taxes or fees):
 
El Cerrito Honda - $17,065 (Mid June)
Grace Honda - None in stock and no date or time of stock information.
Mike Harvey - $17,345 (Mid June)
Autowest Honda Roseville - $17,065 (Unknown stock date)
Vacaville Honda - $16,565 + (Plus $595 for "Touch of Class" Sealant package, Floor Mats- $153, Cargo Tray- $109.80, and Wheel Locks- $75.60 (All Accessories and Sealants are not optional) in options that cannot be removed. Also car is Out of Stock. This is via a Costco dealership. (Very disappointed)
SF Honda - None in stock and no date or time of stock information.
________________________________________________________
San Leandro Honda - $16,565 MSRP (Coming in Mid to End of June). Placed a $300 (yes $300 deposit, everywhere else was asking for $500 deposit).
 
The rep said that there is a Silver one on the boat already that is coming in early June, but someone already had a deposit on it. She said another Silver Sport AT that is coming in mid or end of June is available for a deposit. So there goes my $300
 
Also the weird thing is that Vacaville Honda said they are under the same company as San Leandro Honda. I told Vacaville that I would not pay for the Options that are mandatory ($595 for "Touch of Class" Sealant package, Floor Mats- $153, Cargo Tray- $109.80, and Wheel Locks- $75.60 (All Accessories and Sealants are not optional). The Vacaville guy said that these options are laid out by the corporate company and they cannot be removed. I just told him I pass. Oh and they did not have the car in stock either. Interesting how you can add the options in when the car is not there.

I test drove a Focus but wasn't very impressed with it. It also had the worst gas mileage estimates of anything I looked at.

If the Civic came in a hatchback, I'd be interested. But since it doesn't, I'll stick to the Fit.
