Look at the pdf in this thread: https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...tml#post872551

 

Thanks Krimson, that was helpful. So basically I need to refuse to pay an admin fee and try to get the base price down just a few hundred dollars.

 

Demands will not get you far - negotiate. PDF shows where to start - lay it on the table.
Question the fees. Shop around - as a consumer be in control.

In April I walked out w/ a new 2010 Sport MT for:

$15,739.00.Vehicle price ******* $100 below invoice
$75.00........Dealer Processing Fee
$12.50........NYS Mandatory Tire Recycling Fee
$1,267.12...NYS Sales Tax
$10.00........Inspection Fee
$17,203.62.Total Price Delivered

 

I hear you on the demand thing, I guess I meant more "stand my ground."

Just curious, and this goes for anyone who cares to chime in, how much was the initial offer the dealer gave? I really hope I can get as low as $17200...

 

My wife and I just got ourselves a 2008 Fit yesterday. Its mainly her car, well it is, since she will be driving it 99% of the time. We got it for $9,250 with 15k miles. Now I want to sell my car to get a Fit as well lol.

-Jesus

 

Just got out Orange Sport MT yesterday, $16700. Plus CA tax and licensing. Not complaining!

 

Wanted to bump this thread. Seems like a lot of people have bought recently and I was hoping they'd add to this.

 

2010 Orange Fit Sport w/ Navi for $19,179 to the dealer + ~$1,100 to the state. $17,500 financed at 0.9% via Honda Financial, the rest paid in cash.

 

We have a fit DX manual with A/C (base cdm model with ac) 2009, bought in 2010 so with 2000$ below msrp. 17400$ cdn with everything included (Taxes of 13%, shipping), so around 17 000 canadian.

 

2010 Silver Storm Metallic fit sport, rebuilt title, 5spd auto, loaded with Navigation, VSA
13000 miles, car in mint shape, repaired 100% back to original condition.
$11,000 US

 

First post here bought a 2010 Storm silver BASE AT for $15,000, they offered me $16000 for my 2008 Jeep liberty with 6500 miles on it. Looks like i made a good deal. What do yo guys think?

 

Why base with such a trade in value???

 

Did not really want the extras the sport comes with.

 

yeah the sport is way overrated

the sport looks a tad ghetto with the spoiler

it will just cost you more cash down the road with problems

just my opinion

 

Overrated? I really would like to pay even more you pay for a Fit in USA.

What do you think about paying $31,000 dollars for a manual transmission 1.3 Fit with no maitenance minder; no digital A/C; no GPS (just 1DIN radio/CD); no tire pressure sensor; only 2 air bags (driver and passenger), no VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist), and much more NO's. That's my Fit.

The top version can reach $40,000 dollars here, but you will only get digital A/C, A/T, 1.5 engine, side mirror turn lights, leather seats, 16" wheels, radio/cd integrated into panel, Wheel controls (cruise, etc), fog lights.

That's what we get here in Brazil for the Honda Fit.

 

Is it just me or does it seem like some of the OTD prices people are quoting here don't seem to include tax/fees? Maybe the dealerships around here are just jerks, but I can't seem to get anyone to want to sell me a Fit Sport AT for anything less than about 19k when all the taxes and fees are factored in.

 

$17,600 - Price of car
$18,250 - After registration/delivery/whatever fees
+$1,750 - tax
=
$20,000
-$4,500 - Cash for Clunkers
$15,500 out the door.

It's funny. When I was doing my calculations on what I could negotiate down to, I totally forgot about fees and tax, so I was expecting to pay around $1300. Needless to say I was pretty humbled about my preparation.

 

Yea, I wonder that too. I'm guessing some people are falling for what their salesman told them. But in the end, OTD is the price you payed to get that car off the lot (after tax/delivery/registration fees/tax).

 

I'm paying $15,130 for a BSP Fit base M/T, tax is like $1400 or so on that.. figured that's a good deal for around here. No other dealer was less than $16 for a base

Waiting on my dealership to pick the car up and bring it down.. they had to get it from Seattle but I got the color I wanted and it didn't have any dealer options installed

I'm also financing $0 down with 3.9% for 60 months through Honda.. can't complain at all, I only have a couple years of credit history with a used car loan. My objective is to pay it off a year or two early depending on finances as there is no prepayment penalty.

 

I picked up my 2010 Sport AT in Orange Revolution yesterday for $18,250us (tax, tag, title, on the rim and out the door.) So far I think it is worth every penny.
