Just to let y'all know, we've just put down a $500 (refundable) deposit for a '09 Orange Fit Sport Auto at MSRP + DMV (Oregon motor vehicle licensing fee of $218), $17798 OTD. (No sales tax here in OR.)
Expected delivery is mid-November.
Strange to pay MSRP for a car, but that seems to be about the best people are getting, at least based on this thread. And just as I called to confirm the deposit, a second dealer emailed me back also offering for MSRP. The dealer is about an hour away.
We emailed about 10 dealers in a 100 mile radius, and the process took about 48 hours. The other bids ranged from $500 to $2000 above MSRP. When we took a test drive, that dealer wanted $3000 above MSRP, plus requiring another $1000 in options.
AAA suggested that there are dealers who sell for MSRP in CA too, and were inquiring for me - but they would have added several hundred for delivery.
I really appreciate the messages from other members here, giving me a feel for the prices people are getting.
