hey freaks, im about to pull the trigger and get a fit, but was wondering how much should i ask for if the car is priced at 16.9k? its a used 09 fit sport with 7k miles. quick responses would be nice because im probably going to go out there and check it out in like 5 hours..haha :]
Going with 16.9K, I would assume it's sport AT without Navi. If it does have Navi, that's a steal. If it's just a Sport MT w/o Navi, then I wouldn't do it for that price, imo.
You probably have a bit of haggle room since some around the nation are selling for as low as $15800 with similar mileage. Although, you live in CA where prices are higher so you may not be able to go much lower. Also, is this a private seller or a dealer? A private seller may be more willing to haggle, depending on how desperate they are to get rid of it (especially in these economic times ).
You may want to print out a couple of other used 09 Fits around the area that may be selling for a lower price, in case you want to use that as leverage.
haha unfortunately, this seems to be the only used 09 fit that seems to be within my price range (through a dealer, anyways). i might consider private sellers, but gotta figure out the financing n such myself so we'll see if that ever gets done...haha
Central IL, Honda Fit Sport AT w/Navi + carpet mats, bumper applique, cargo tray: 15,6 OTD. Gogogadgetcashforclunkers. Got the car for 18,625, plus the extras, seemed like a decent deal if not amazing. They padded the price of the extras some (to the tune of $50 vs other dealer's quotes), but not too much more than the other quotes I got. I picked the thread that google finds!

Go to New Cars, Used Cars, Car Reviews and Pricing - Edmunds.com, and plug in your Fit model info and area code, then look for the TMV (True Market Value). It's only an approximation, and prices have been distorted recently by the CARS frenzy, but TMV is probably the best starting point you can find. The dealer I went with, through an internet inquiry, quoted me exactly what Edmunds said was Invoice + delivery. This was, in fact, about $200 below what Edmunds said was TMV for the zipcode I used. YMMV
Warner, was that honda of lisle by chance? They quoted me about 1k under invoice, which I took to my local dealer and ended up buying down here instead. Good thing, I would have been buying up there this weekend and it sounds like it might be too late!

No, it was Napleton Honda in Oak Lawn. Why did I drive 50 miles from my house to buy a car? Well, the short version of the story is that they assured me at the end of JUNE that they could do the CARS program early (and quoted me a low price because Honda was giving dealers a $500 rebate that ended in June). Of course when I got there, and they took their heads out from where they had them when they told me (3 times they assured me) that they could do the program early and admitted that they couldn't do it. So the internet director (Brian Cole) promised me that he'd honor the price they quoted me, PLUS throw in some extras to make up for my inconvenience. They did everything they said they would do....so I'm very pleased with the end result...in spite of the original hassle at the end of June.
awaiting on my cash for clunker rebate for $4500..putting $6k total down with the clunker.....currently sitting at 5.5% APR but hoping it will drop to 4.4% that others have been getting considering my credit is A1
i work at mcdavid frisco, if anyone is looking for a GE, I can help you out, just PM me. we've got bases, sports and even a couple navi's. like you all are noticing, they're pretty much going for msrp plus dealer options. i work there and they're only taking 200 off for me. lmk what you want though, i can let you know our inventory that we have and whats coming in.
$200 off MSRP? Time to find a different dealer. Even if the dealer sells the car for you at "invoice," they still make over $300 just from the holdback. Throw in AHFC financing and they make even more. You can do FAR better than $200 off MSRP just by going through Costco, with no negotiation. On the West Coast, you can pick up a Fit at or below invoice w/no destination charge any day of the week. Don't be bamboozled by dealers that are saying "Fit's aren't being discounted." It's BS.
