How much did you pay for your Fit?
Once again what you are told is the cost is not always the case. Plenty of Honda dealers are selling extended warranties online for less than $1,000.

So if another dealer can sell you that same warranty for $800 and still make a profit how much do you think your finance manager made from your sale?
Not trying to "get" you on anything. Just letting you know that your employer did make money off you. Not necessarily a bad thing but you seemed to think they gave you everything at their "cost" which more than likely wasn't true.
Also what the heck is a pack cost?

Personally I don't know if he, above, is an employee because I've never heard of $150 mini commission made to oneself when buying a car in house. It would always be labeled as "house" deal. Hence, no commission.

Pack is advertising and training added. Its just BS ..another excuse to muster up a fee to tack on.

Yes i am an employee Come to West County Honda in St. Louis and id be happy to say hi to you. The pack on a fit here is not 500-700 dollars. It is 200.
BTW the pack changes from dealer to dealer. You may go to a dealer that packs 500-700.

Akwarr, if you are an employee then I apologise to you. My fault for doubting you brother.

Im not trying to stir anything up. I just know what was paid for the car and what i paid. Nearly every dealer wont tell a salesman what was paid for the car, but since i do all the dealer trades i have access to all the invoices and cost them out for when we trade. After that cost is when a dealer will pack them, and put whatever accessories they want on it.
We stick no accessories on anything because we have accessory sales people for that. Right now we are selling 250-280 cars per month and for this area that is good. We are tailing St. Louis honda by about 70 cars but that is going to change very soon.

Glad I purchases my 10 Fit Sport a year ago, $15,738 plus CA state fees/tax (no bs charges other than 9.875 sales tax!). I love the car and would pay sticker if that was the best deal.
Got it in palo alto CA.

Im sorry sir, but thats incorrect. I didnt mention that i have a 100k mile bumper to bumper warrenty and that our taxes are 8.6%. I actually paid 16,209 for it since thats what the dealership pays for it. -snip-
Remember im one of the guys that sell you your car and get you to believe that its the bottom line.

Bought Gd in July 07 when the dealers were doing that "we have shortage of fits and no discount". Located a black one for 17k out the door. Had mud guards and door protection thing installed. Told them to take it off but mechanics was off already.
I love it!

Did I pay too much?
I'm buying a 2011 Sport M/T for $16,800. I'm trading in my 2002 Civic with 131,000 miles for $2,000. It has some rust and needs some repairs (a/c computer, exhaust manifold, new brakes and rotors). The price does include the destination charge, but not the registration, tax and title.
I was looking through this thread last night and feel like I paid too much. It is the only M/T Sport I could find out of six dealers in the area. Regardless, I know I will love the fit!

If I were a Honda salesman I would go to another Honda dealer and tell them I am a salesman at Weal Ripem and How Honda. Tell them this is the price my employer gave me, can you beat it?
I guarantee you they will beat the price by alot
JIm 0311
And no mini commission.

I can't fathom anybody paying anywhere near $20K for a 2 year old used Fit with 20k miles. That is just pure stupidity, are people really that gullible in Seattle or is that just your lot sticker price and they actually sell for much less? For $20K you have your choice of many brand new 2011 cars much nicer than a Fit.

I bought mine Certified Preowned at the Honda dealer I work at for $14,990 out the door(tax and title extra) 2009 Fit sport 59k miles, taffeta white, accessories (installed at time of purchase):Mugen short shifter and Mugen shift knob.
