Yeah thats exactly how I got raped on the cost of mine. 18,000 for an 07 MT Sport with 8960 miles on it. After financing it was something like 24,000. Got a horrible interest rate as well cause the wife and I just bought a house, 2 cars, and furnished the whole house so our credit had taken a big hit.

But they had another couple on the lot looking at the car at the same time so I had to undercut them . Still talked em down 4k from their original list price of 22k. Its the exact one I had wanted when they first came out though, to include the factory window tint so I couldn't pass it up.

Yeah I know I did on a national level. However, for some reason cars here are ungodly expensive. It doesn't matter new or used. Even the new Fits were 18k.

hell an 04 STi with 35k miles still goes for 26-28k on average. Its retarded. Only reason dealers stay in business here has to be because idiots like me dont have time or extra money to travel to purchase a car.

wow that sounds high to me, but i live down south...its like $25 to transfer a tag here. i would call the dmv and ask them about it....if they tell you less then just tell the dealer that you will take care of the tag transfer.

Really lucky on finding an 07 TW Fit and its MT. My SSM one was like that only Fit that was MT in the area at the time when I bought it. And the dealer marked it up by $1000 Just wish I could have been White but I didnt want to wait

I picked mine up at the beginning of november. And i was looking at a silver 08 sport. But money was an issue for me so i ended up getting a red MT base 07 model with tan interior, which i actually rather. for only 13,900. my payments all include the services from the dealer for the first 60.000 miles and i'm only paying $283 a month.
I love the car, too bad i won't be able to do anything to it for awhile. cuz i'm poor lol.

and i got my plate transferd. I don't remember the fee but i didn't really care because i have a special plate that i think looks cool. LOL

are dealers really charging more then sticker on fits ?

i walked into the honda dealer here .. told them i would pay no more then invoice ...

walked out with an 08 SSM fit sport 5 spd at invoice ...

$15355 is what I paid after the destination charge of 635

so 14720 for the car itself and then 635 for destination ... + TTL of course

sucks that dealers mark cars up
