Congrats Mateo!

Looks just like my car. Wonder why since we bought the exact same car from the same dealer.

What accessories did you end up getting with it from the dealer? Mine included the all weather floor mats, cargo liner, cargo cover and bumper applique.

I have the floor mats, cargo liner, cargo cover, ipod musiclink (not too impressed with it so far), block heater, and I think I also got the stainless muffler or something.

Since it's an S model it came with the alarm and the keyless entry.

Oh, I also installed a scangauge so that I can track my gas mileage in real time.

Free? Not hardly.

Although the dealer sold me my car at MSRP, he REQUIRED that I buy a certain amount of accessories as part of the deal.

How?

Tough cheese, if I want the option fine, I will pay for it. If not, I pay sticker, did that on my Fit (no paint/interior protectant and they did not add the 16" wheels they wanted to put on there) and other cars in the past. I have a friend that passed away that also required that all dealer identification be removed from the cars (Volvos) prior to purchase, and never was turned down.

Honestly, between this and Mateo's comments about being suckered on the warranty, sounds like you have a real cowboy outfit for a dealer there, sure they were not a Toyota dealer in another life?

I checked your state's BBB, I think you guys posted elswhere, you got your cars in Orem, and if so, here is the report for the dealer in Orem(unsatisfactory):

Actually, I wasn't complaining about the dealer. They treated me fair and square. I was told up front that they didn't get a lot of markup on Fits. So little, they don't even stock them, usually trading them to other dealers for Civics before they even come in. He told me I could get a Fit IF I bought a pre-set amount of accessories. Take it or leave it. I see nothing dishonest or disreputable about this. I wanted the car, and I actually would have added these same accessories.

As far as extended warranties, I've never dealt with a finance department ANYWHERE that didn't try to push these on you (at great markup.) Same goes for paint protectant, scotch-guard, under coating, ... I didn't buy any extras this way. The easist way to do this is say no.

I could have said no to the accessories, and bought the car someplace else. I chose not to. This is actually my 5th car from this dealership.
