There is about 500.00 profit in those when sold at MSRP so getting 1000.00 off would be pretty unlikely.
At this point, I think we have maybe six Fits left, four of these are the lease desirable base models with five speeds.
There are none in the pipeline so it'll be two months before we see any more and they will be 2009's.
Your part of the country may vary...this is very frustrating to say the least.
Unless they happen to have a Sport Automatic to trade, it's pretty unlikely another store will give one up.
Good Luck!

Maybe Honda will add these in the 2009's ?

My internet has been restricted at work (but not edmunds, lol). But, if you go to www.honda.co.jp/ you should be able to view pictures of the 2009 Fit/Jazz. Perhaps they will show pics of the interior?
picking up @ the dealer today!
The first one (blaze orange) was bought in Lincoln, NE, in Dec of 2007 for $16,322 and no documentation fee, or $200 over Honda's generally recognized "invoice" cost for this car of $16,122.
The second (milano red) was bought in Omaha, NE in Mar of 2008 for $16,167. or $45 over invoice, again no documentation or other added fees (except for state sales tax, license, registration, the items you pretty much have to pay in any state).
The third (vivid blue) was bought in Lincoln in June 2008, same dealer as the first, for $16,122, or invoice, no doc fees or add-on.
In each case I paid anywhere from $383 to $583 UNDER "invoice" (who knows how much the dealers actually pay Honda for the vehicle).
The moral of the story is that it is possible to get a good deal on a new Fit, but your chances of doing that appear to be greatly swayed by where you live in the country. It appears Fits are selling for anywhere from MSRP to way higher on both the West and East coasts, due to demand greatly exceeding supply. So if you can buy a Fit in the Midwest (or possibly the Southeast or Southwest) for $500-$2,000 less, it might be worth it to locate and close a deal on a Fit with a Midwest dealer and then go pick up the car there (depending on how far you have to travel).
The dealers I bought from were Williamson Honda (Lincoln, NE) and O'Daniel Honda (Omaha, NE)
Also, due to the high demand/low supply current situation with Fits, the Kelley Blue Book private party values have shot way up in the last couple months, and are currently $1000-2000 MORE for a like-new used Fit than a brand new one bought from a dealer - go figure.
Which makes me wonder why any dealer would even bother discounting a vehicle that a consumer can turn around and make money on?
I'm sure if someone offered you $18000.00 you would sell it in a heart beat, but if a dealer sold it for that price you would call them a rip-off.
Fit, manual transmission. $500 below sticker price. Dealership is Martin in Newark, Del.
*BEWARE* this dealer and a bunch of other Honda places are trying to put a $1,000 "market upcharge" on really in-demand models such as the Fit. Don't fall for it. :mad:
It was their second to last Fit on the lot. They didn't expect any more until the '09s arrive. The remaining one is a gold Sport, if anyone is interested.
Any Fits left in your area? We are OUT of 2008's and so is everybody else.
Our phones ring constantly from people looking for them.
Taking deposits for 2009's that will be arriving in October and probably half of those are pre-sold now.
I'm posting Mom's '07 base automatic with 17K miles for sale this week. She can't wait for her 09!
We are long sold out of the 2008's.
My local dealer is charging MSRP which was quoted as $17,580. They have a $70 doc fee that I couldn't negotiate away, but I'm happy overall.
Now who wants to buy the 07? :-)
Was built week of August 4, VIN to be transmitted to dealer any day.
I estimate arrival by the end of September, at the latest.
Really didn't want nav at this price point, but the benefit if VSA is virtually indisputable, so there it is.
The first 2009 Honda Fit is scheduled to be on the ground on the 26th of August, however, we will not be getting any for sale until the second week of September.
At present we have 12 in-transit from the port, which happens to be Portland, OR. We'll have our 12 by the 26th which is the "official" launch date.
For the record, we have 33 arriving starting next week through the begining of October and they are all pre-sold.
The only vehicle I would purchase over MSRP these days is the upcoming Nissan GT-R, and only because of the potential for turning it over at a handsome profit.
I know invoice and below can be had here in Southern California.
Do you think invoice or below will also be possible for the 2009 Fit Sport Automatic?

If you know where to get these cars for invoice and under, before most dealerships even get them into the inventory, why are you asking about the MSRP? :confuse:
If you know you can have this car for less than invoice, and where to get, who cares about MSRP? :confuse:
My 09 Blackberry Fit Sport AT VSA/NAV is in the pipeline...
On the Fit's, we don't mark them up and we don't discount them. To me (and this is just my opinion) why discount a car that someone can turn around and sell for more then what they just paid for it.
