This is what I've been quoted for an A/T Fit Sport (no navi):

Price: $16909.28 (which I just realized is MSRP, NOT $300 under )
Freight: $670
Subtotal - $17,579.28

****Processing fee: $399
Subtotal - $17978.28

VA Sales Tax 3%: 539.35
VA Sales Tax 0.1%: 17.58
Total taxes - $556.93

Registration, Titling, Licensing: $58.75

Total Price: $18,593.96

***According to Consumer Reports, question any documentation/processing fee over $100. I'm a little leery to pay $400, it appears to me like 'built-in' profit by the dealer. I really like my salesperson (she's a retired nurse) and she's been helpful, and low-pressure with me. I told her already that I thought the $399 process fee was excessive, but her reply was "This is what Mr. Pohanka charges, and he's firm about it."

Any thoughts on that?
To my knowledge there is current no Authorized Costco Pricing. Website says so when you try to select the e09 fit, and the authorized dealership near me confirmed that they don't have numbers yet.

Did your dealership show you a Costco Pricing Sheet for the car? There suppose to do that and show the MSRP and Invoice Pricing.

The Honda Dealership that participates in the Buying program near me offered me $150 below MSRP, but was upfront that that was there choice and they were being nice b/c I was a member. I was going to buy from them but read my OTD pricing above. Purchased from a guy I've dealt with before.

$400 seems high for my area, might not be for your area though, mine was $275. If they can get your car relatively quickly though, might be worth it. Margin on these cars is minimal. Hell invoice to MSRP for mine is only $670.
