You didn't by any chance get yours at Bankston Honda in Lewisville did you?

 

Just got my fit base with manual last Thursday. I love how I can accelerate faster with the manual if I feel the need for speed. I got the .90 % financing which you can not beat! I was thinking elantra or soul or versa but with that .9% I had to go with the fit In fact I never actually looked at the other 3. I got the extended warranty but am now re thinking that. Electronics scare me but 1700.00 for an extra 5 years...I just don't know. any thoughts on this anyone or is there a tread on pros and cons of extended warranties????

If they're still offering rebates or incentive APRs, chances are they won't be raising prices. I'm actually surprised they need these right now to move the Fits.

 

The salesman said they were going to end may 2nd! I thought .9 was super do you have any thoughts on the 100,000 mile warranty I am conflicted

The only incentive financing they are offering right now is the graduate program.

In general, you're better off not taking the extended warranty. $1700 covers a fair amount of repairs. The best advice is to take any money you'd be tempted to spend on an extended warranty and put it in a savings account, and then use that money to finance repairs.

 

thanks Malraux... I know I have a few weeks to cancel..I know consumer reports said don't waste your money I guess all it takes is 2-3 major repairs...but then again this car is solid my old 95 GEO prism was bulletproof too except for me running through a couple clutches!! (the need for speed)

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, Scion's offering the a similar deal as $1,000 rebate cash for college graduates or any US Military Member. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen Honda offer any type of military deal... guess it's not their thing.

 

My Fit will be 5 years old in July, is supercharged with 10PSI boost and has other performance mods as well... It has never been to a dealership for warranty work... The main reason to buy a Honda is because they don't break down and run forever... Don't let them scare you into an extended service warranty.

 

Financing is certainly separate, as is the extended warranty. But the price of the car/value of the trade in is one number. You can argue them back and forth, but in the end, you have a difference in mind, they have a difference in mind, and you are negotiating that one number.

 

What are they ending on May 2nd?

 

The warranty covers everything the regular warranty that comes with the vehicle.

No roadside assistance but that was not an issue for me. Anyone with a driver's license in Texas automatically gets roadside assistance with an 800 number on the license plus I have AAA.

The situation with respect to supply and demand is fluid and may change by the time you pull the trigger. It depends on how quickly inventories on this side of the pond start depleting and how soon the Japanese factories get back to 100% production and start shipping them over.

I don't think the dealer cars much... pay cash or finance. They just want to sell the vehicles anyway they can.

 

Very cool of them!

 

Watch out for dealer options. They'll have stuff like pinstripes and floormats already on/in the car. They'll give you the regular price of the car. Then, when you really sit down to talk numbers, they'll throw in, "Oh, it's another $1200 for the convenience package."
If you can't find a dealer who doesn't do this, I think the best defense would be to go in armed with the accessory catalog and offer to pay what those things are actually worth- generally about 1/4 of what they're charging.
