FAIR PRICE for FIT?
#21
You can't always look at OTD price because tax, title, and registration fees are different for each state. Plus, depending on if you had a trade, the tax is different than if you bought it straight up.
So the TRUE price of the car either with/without destination is really what can help you know if you are getting a good deal. Make sure that the tax, title and registration are the standard fees for your state (you can look up on carmax and/or call tax office)...and that will give you what you'll be PAYING. But...to get an idea of the EQUALITY of a price, you need to look at the price of the CAR.

all these car dealers should do what saturn does and just have 1 price no matter what

But yea, I just think that with adding all that, it seems to junk up the price.
My taxes ended up only being like 600 bucks although they would have been higher had I not had a trade. I paid the normal destination but it would have looked like an awesome price, if i posted my otd, and didn't talk about my tax savings due to trade in value.

Hmm...I guess I misread that he was looking at a base.
Yes, mine is an 09 Sport that I got for $15,565 plus destination, and TT&L. I got carpeted floormats, cargo tray and wheel locks thrown in.
They only had 2 09 sports in manual transmission and were trying to push them hard.

To the OP, I would suggest that you get a Fit Sport. It's just the extra money you add to it is very justifiable and you'll be happier. Just my 2c.

I have been trying to talk down the dealers with the base and have had a lot of trouble. No one wants to budge, I think it has something to do with the 2010s coming in. Every dealer I have visited has had at most 2 '09 FITS. Im located in WNY where do you suggest I go to get the FIT Manual at a few hundred dollars more expensive.

Just get online...find dealers in your area, or that you are willing to go to...
Email them and ask them what Fit Sport Manuals they have and they're lowest price.
See what colors/options they have and if it's a price you can pay.
But with what I got mine for, you should be able to get a Sport for around that. I got mine about a month ago.

See Ive done that. All day today I went to four dealerships in the area and called another an hour or so away and none will come close to that price. I'm thinking you just got one hell of a deal.

Go to one dealer, let them run your credit as if your going for the deal then at the end turn it down and say you want to wait. Tell them that you're going to a different Honda Dealer that is close by and tell them that they may give you a better deal. They should not let you go because they already had you there for a while doing paper works, they don't want to lose the effort and time they gave to you and they will give you a better deal. Also they don't like customers going to a different dealer. If not then go to another dealer and do the same thing and tell the next dealer that this price $$$ is what the other dealer(mention the dealers name) is giving you and ask them if they can give you a better deal then you might buy from them. If that didn't work, try another dealer. The more the merrier because the dealer can see in their record that you have been to the other dealerships and you are really looking to buy a new car. Just be patient in buying and shop around.

yeah that is exactly what I did today word for word. I went to every dealer told them that this was the lowest price I have been offered today can you beat this price? No one would come close to the $14900 because they claimed it was exactly at invoice. I walked many a times telling them I was headed to other dealers in the area. I'm settling for the more honest of the two with the color that I want even though its $200 more. This woman just irks me the wrong way.
