I see a lot of people on these forums saying that they paid over MSRP. Yikes! Every Fit I've seen at the dealers around Minneapolis are all charging MSRP but none of them will go below it. When we picked ours up the salesman showed us the invoice and it wasn't a whole lot less than the MSRP. I believe the dealers also get something like a guaranteed 3% of the invoice... not sure how that works, but at MSRP they're not exactly making a whole lot.

Anyway, so we paid $15,720 for our Fit Sport. What did others pay?

 

Retail for mine ($13,800), they wanted to put a $1500 paint protection on it, I told the no, I have seen the movie Fargo.

I paid 15720 MSRP + 1600 markup + 500 for some antithief computer chip, and the usual tax, license fees

I just got the rubber mats and cargo cover on bernardi parts. so thats $200 more (including shipping)

 

$15,720...

 

double post

 

$16520 + $500 parts and labor for ipod interface, wheel locks, exhaust tip, all season mats (they threw in the carpet mats), sport grill, package A (paint and interior protection) which i dont care for. All was already on the car, it totalled at ridiculously outrageously $2500. After numerous NO, they gave it to me at COST.

 

Another dealership was selling me pinstripes ($500), YUK! And adding-on prep charge. I quickly ran out the door.

 

I would never pay over MSRP for anything, much less the entry level Honda! Heck I refuse to pay MSRP lol.

 

r all those price drive out guys??? I'm about to get my sport manuel for 16902 with everything included

 

Reddel in Murfresboro, TN told me that on the phone, I hung up.....

Base MT at MSRP. No added "features". They had a Sport model with an appearance package thrown on (pinstripes and something else...). I would have considered the Sport more seriously if they didn't stick that on.

 

Their explanation was since they can't mark it up they have to put dealer add-ons (pinstripes) to the car. It seems that they're trying to take advantage of the low availability, but guess what, the buying public is getting smarter and will not get sucked into that.

 

What's up with this dealerships adding prep charge?!

 

We paid the same for our sport m/t

 

I went in with two pages of inventory, prices and salesmen names from every Tennessee dealer from Clarksville-east when I bought, the bull**it stopped when I pulled that out....

 

I paid only 15,720!!!

 

I forgot to mention, mine is a sport AT.

 

got a geustion, anybody know where to get vented visors for the 2007 fit?

 

Where did you buy yours? We bought ours at Reddell - paid the $150 for the pinstripes , but we did get the last one on the lot...

 

i'm considering trading in my 2003 element for a fit sport...i was at the dealership yesterday here in Alabama and the sales people were watching videos on how to market to "gen y" folks...it was hilarious...there was all kinds of stuff like "try to be realistic and truthfull"...WTF?!? what happened to the highball lowball game?? where's the fun in buying a car if they're gonna be truthfull??? i just thought that was funny and i figured i'd share...
