Heck, that's the best $2000 car around! Congrats on winning.

I'm shopping around, I have a White LX Manual on hold (whenever their next shipment comes in) for

Vehicle: $16325.00
Title and New Plates: $556.00
Tax: $1035.77
TOTAL: $17,917.27

They were going to try to get me one at another dealer but it sold while I was still thinking it over (took me a 3 days to decide on the Fit).

Just called another dealer a few hours away that have the exact car I want but charge a $699.00 dealer fee so the total would be $18693. I think I'm just better off waiting a few weeks with my current dealer. They were reaching out to their regional rep to find out when they will have it exactly.

 

Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas!

I wonder how much of that price you got was actually because of the extended warranty you bought? I've heard the same thing being done with dealer financing (my Dad was a master of that switcheroo) so I suppose that the kickback from the extended warranty would add a bit to the dealer's bottom line.

Anyway, good show on cancelling the warranty. I tend to avoid such "bundle" deals because once they are started they often are virtually impossible to turn off. The cost savings I get are not worth the hassle of convincing some "handler" that I really don't want to continue the service.

 

2015 Honda Fit EX Automatic Aegean Blue Metallic
Traded in 2007 Dodge Nitro and got $6000, Half towards Nitro other towards Fit
Paid $17,500 for car Total with trade in and got the 7 year 100,000 mile warranty added on.

 

Noob here.. I am interested in one. Haven't bought a car in almost 20 years. Last I bought was a Saturn at their no-haggle price and a used Pontiac in CA which I thought I was buying for 3K and paid 5.5K in the end (still wondering about that one).

So I am in Phx, and wondering what I should be expecting to pay OTD for an EX. Truecar is showing me 19K but I don't know if that includes everything. I will be paying cash.

As a side question/curiosity; Is it possible to get a sweet deal with dealer financing which I sign one day, take the car and pay it off couple of days later?

 

You could try doing a switcharoo, try and get it close to 17,500 by saying you'll get the extended warranty (which generally will have a 30 day return policy). This gives the dealership a kickback (since they WILL overcharge you). So you'll end up paying around 19-20k, but when you return the extended warranty itll be back down to 17k.. Im pretty sure 100% of the policies by law HAVE to have a return policy in 30 days, but you can request honda-care as it 100% for sure does have a 30 day return policy.

It's not exactly the most honest thing....but ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

 

17,500? Is that OTD? Why is TrueCar showing me 19,000 then here is Phx?

 

I got my modern steel metallic ex manual off the lot just yesterday. Sticker was 18,225 here in upstate ny. I put 3500 down. Then tax, tittle, paint, fabric, undercoating protection. And the extended warranty. Out the door price of 18,417.

 

Could just be the area, im in Ky which isn't exactly a super wealthy province.

 

Is Costco selection zip code/region based? Here in Phx its not showing Fit at all in the listing Anyone experience same?

 

So happy to have a new Fit!

Got my black ex auto yesterday. Last Fit on the lot. MSRP was $19,025 dropped to $18,900, dealer "doc. fee" $129 the rest went to the state reg $23 title $38 lienholder on title $10 sales tax (after deduction for a total loss payout) $693. Very pleasant buying experience.

 

I was quoted a price of 19,800 OTD for an EX CVT 2015 Fit. Seems like a good deal to me... Thoughts?

 

That is a very good deal.

 

Reading through this thread, it seems pretty obvious that if at the end of the day you come home driving a Fit, you made a pretty darn good deal.

In the not-too-distant future, the Honda Fit will be seen as an iconic car---one of those very special early model cars that everyone wishes he had bought --- before they became rare collector items.

Fabric, undercoat, extended warranty, and other such unneeded smoke-and-mirrors non-value-added nonsense, you could have bought yourself the next higher class of car with the $4K you handed the stealer willfully. There's definitely a learning curve to negotiating with the devil for a price fair to all parties, but the way you allowed yourself to be taken leaves little room to feel bad for you. Plase accept the crticism in hope that you will be a more educated adversary to dealer theft next car purchase around.

On a better note, may your new car give you many years of reliable and safe service. Cograts. I've thought about buying a 6 speed EX in PBP, but I'm in no hurry. If I do buy, I will at least wait for the quality issues and demand to subside.

 

2015 Honda Fit 6 speed Black LX
$18,200 OTD
Payed on the high end from what I see here.
Dealers love to tack on the $700 dealer fee here in Florida.

 

Don't worry. With all the confusion I missed that $699 fee too. I just saw it the other day -months later - when I looked again (Of course, the computer went down when we were there, which I've since learned is standard practice).


Between that and the accessories I "overpaid", but I love the car and really it's only about $1200 more than I should have. Not having owned a car in 35 years and needing one right away - and wanting this one - it's not all that bad.


Red EX CVT, $22,556 all up.

 

Just bought my Metallic Steel EX 6MT for 18225.00 for the car
OTD 20,756.

Ouch man, Did they charge you a protection paint package? My dealer told me most dealers in Florida put them on the car and charge 1700.00 extra for it.
I refused to pay for it, They gave me the paint protection still but took it off the price.
