Replying to: nthomas (Apr 15, 2007 7:22 am) What to do in this situation? Do I have anything to bargain with in this case to get the price down lower?

You are the consumer, never settle for less than what you want and never for more than you want to pay. They have to make YOU happy if they want your business. Every dealer will try to sell you whatever he's got on the lot if he doesn't have what you want, just to make the sale and not lose it to someone else. I finally found an MT to test drive while on a business trip to Richmond. It was an orange one, which I told the guy up front I had no intention of buying, I drove it, loved it, and the guy tried to sell it to me anyway. Well, for the $20,000 he wanted I wouldn't have bought it if it WAS the car I wanted! My best price came in from Nelson Honda in Martinsville, of $15,765 plus free delivery to my door. When I have the money, I'll be calling them and see if I can shave a few bucks more off.  There's no reason to pay thousands more than MSRP for any car, it's just extra money the dealer adds on for no reason, I've seen it listed on one sticker as 'Regional Adjustment'. Uh huh.

Replying to: poached (May 05, 2007 7:53 pm) You might also want to try LaFontaine Honda in Dearborn. I also inquired through their web site, and the person that responded was very nice. He kept me informed about what was in stock all the time, and were willing to sell for MSRP. I didn't try to negotiate with them, so I'm not sure if they would have gone any lower or not. There's not much bargaining power with the Fit, because the supplies are so low. Your best bet is to contact lots of places by phone or internet and see what the best price they'll give you is. It's possible to get a fairly decent price...just takes a lot of work. Good luck - let us know how things work out!

>>18 $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.
