in the end, you dont dictate what the car sells for. the market does. if the demand for the vehicle is there at msrp, dont expect to get it for invoice. how well you can haggle or who you know will make no difference.

I'm picking up my Fit Sport, Storm Silver Metallic Manual w/ ipod uplink!(hopefully on 4/20) in Portland, Oregon...I had been waiting for a Civic LX with a manual tran. (why SO hard to find?) I've been working with a great Honda dealer that honored all of our predetermined discounts and applied them to the Fit, and I'm coming in less than 16k(title registration etc included) on the purchase..hoping that's a pretty good price...and if the rep makes a little $ for helping me out for the past month looking at a new Honda then that's fine by me.

Question for the sales guys. I am either buying a civic lx or a fit but not until they have one to test drive. What do you guys feel is a fair % over invoice to make a deal on average. I just want a fair price and don't want to waste his time or mine . I have what I think the car is worth and if he tries to hit a home run I walk and would expect him to do the same if I gave a rediculous offer. No time or patience for B.S.I feel the pain of sales because I have a guy trying to low ball me on my truck for less than I can get as a trade in!

Watching Fit pricing is going to be very interesting. A lot depends on gas prices. Few here remember the 1973 Arab oil embargo, no driving on Sunday, 55 mph speed limits, and only being able to purchase $10 of gas at a time. There's a "big picture" reason manufacturers are rushing b segment cars to the U.S.
My take is if you can afford it, even if it takes a little bit of stretch, get a Fit for MSRP as soon as possible. There is every likelihood that by September a new Fit will be selling on e-bay for MSRP +?.
At best, in 6 months, you might get $500 off MSRP, but it could be much worse, that is, MSRP + a loooong wait. Then it's Civic time.

Here in central Virginia, I can not find a dealer that will even discuss a deposit! However, I got an e-mail from a dealer (50-mi away) saying his first FIT was due in on April 20! His first ONE? Are dealers around here only getting ONE to start?
My truck is in the city paper & Autotrader this weekend and I really dropped the asking price!
I may have to settle for a Scion XA My second choice vehicle!
