I signed a contract for a 2012 PMM Sport A/T.

The dealer ( Central Ky ) does not seem to be able to find such
a car.

Do you suppose that Honda has finished production for this model?

PMM = Polished Metal? Mine just showed up today at the dealer fresh from Japan and I drove it home.

2012 PMM Sport auto trans. Everett WA, Klein Honda.

 

Just wondering, how much did you pay out the door for your 2012 Fit Sport? I ended up buying a car from Sims (in Burlington) since Klein wouldn't budge on their $21,000 price.

 

21K sounds like a Sport Auto trans with Navigation price.

I paid dealer invoice, $18,321 for the car, plus the $150 doc fee I couldn't get them to drop.

First offer on my trade in was a lowball $7,500. After about 3 hours of back and forth final offer was $9,750 trade in (which was fair).

I took no add ons at all, and no delaer financing.

Here's a cut and paste from 6/24/12 when I cut the deal:

I closed a deal with Klein Honda in Everett WA yesterday on a 2012 Sport Fit automatic in Polished Metal metalic color (metalic grey color). Car will be in around or before 7 July - already due in when I closed the deal - not a new order.

I negotiated dealer invoice at $18,321 versus MSRP 18,700, and agreed to pay the $150 document fees after a lot of back forth. Turned down all accesories, warranties, paint sealants, windshield sealants, clear 3M bras etc.

It took hours to work out the trade in on our 2005 Subaru WRX wagon. Low mileage at 71,400, but some paint blemishes, and a split in the drivers seat leading edge on a seam. Plus the tow bar brackets which could be good or bad for the dealership in selling it. First offer was $7500, last that we agreed on was $9750.

I am a South Dakota resident, so will tax (excise versus sales tax) title and tag there and will pay 3% excise tax on the difference between sales price and trade in. I did my own financing with USAA for 1.79% 36 month.

Have already ordered Blue Ox tow bar bracket, lighting kit, Headlight Armor applique for fogs and headlights. When I install the tow bar, I'll install some protection in the lower grille to protect the AC condensor.

Also ordered from College Honda (online) center console, weather tech mats, wheel locks, and hood deflector.

Later I will do a window tint at around 50% tint level. I don't want too dark of a tint.

Thanks for all the posts I read in advance while doing research.

 

Ah ok thanks for the reply. I found your post on What Did You Do To The Fit Today shortly after making the previous post. I just can't ignore that I paid roughly $20,000 OTD for the sport, while others here are reporting that they paid close to msrp for OTD. I love the Fit, but the price has been bothering me.

BTW, love the blog. Makes me happy I live in WA.

 

The contract OTD price was 19400.00. Basically the Edmunson Fair
Market Value + Sales Tax.

There are about 6 Polished Metal Metallics at various dealers within
100 mile radius of the dealer but I guess my dealer does not want to work
a swap with another dealer...

If you have no deposit on the car or a refundable deposit tell your sales person you are going to another dealer for the car they may be willing to do a swap. I would verify that the other dealers have the car in stock a lot of dealer websites are not always up to date before doing this.
