Fit is getting so expensive. And with the production still low I don't think the price is going to come down for a while.

So what car did you end up getting?

I got a Taffeta White. I'm really liking this car. It''s amazing how much space it has for such a tiny car.

Just picked up an Orange Sport AT (wheel locks only extra) for $18,448 OTD. It was hard, hard work to get there. I'm a decent negotiator, but buyers are not in the drivers seat right now. Still, compared to many others, seems like I did at least reasonable.

Enjoying the car. The interior space makes no logical sense.

I didn't have any trade in the deal. It was a straight purchase. Missed the .9% deal though....wasn't ready yet. So I ended up at 3.3%. Not what I hoped for.

Looks like you did real well, Truecar great price was $16,898. That's price not out the door! We do not know what you paid in tax's etc.

And of course that is pre Tsunami when you could negotiate a price.

I just bought mine yesterday - a 2011 Fit base manual for 15,120 plus tax, title, fee etc. Spent 2 weeks trying to get that deal and visited about 15-18 dealers. I've only put 130 miles on it and so far I'm loving the car.

Maybe I didn't do as well as I could have then, because my taxes are low. I paid $17809 + 300 tax +39 Liscense + $300 dealer fee. Total to $18,448. Of course, like you said...hard to get truecar's great price after the Tsunami. Eitherway, once it's done, I put it behind me and enjoy. You can't let other people's bargains bother you.

I think it also varies where you are located. I'm in Chicago, so I visited and e-mailed every dealer within 50 miles and used their quotes against each other until I finally got the 15,120 quote. I traded in a junker (1k) so I didn't pay any taxes. My otd price or finance price was 14,330.

I'm not in a major market, but I did call and negotiate with about 8 dealers within 100 miles of me. Only two were willing to have a negotiation at all. The other 6 said...sorry, we can't help you.

The prices are definitely going up...

Honda dealer down the street has a 2010 Honda Fit sport with 19,937 miles going for $19,891.

That is more than I paid for my 2011 new.

Picked up a 2011 Fit Sport polished metal metalic five speed manual. Msrp $17,610.
Got $7,000 for my 2005 Forester in trade with 106,000 on it and a major front differential problem. After adding 8% sales tax, DMV fee's and $217.22 interest on the 0.9% 48 month Honda financing deal...ended up $11506.30. Monthly payment $244.24. I'm happy...and I love the Fit Sport...quick and responsive, all in a form and functionality package...can't beat it....a fun ride for sure.
