My '09 Fit Sport was built August 4-9 and arrived in Baltimore September 10.
but if that is what is offerred make sure the pinstripe is PAINTED- not the cheapa**
tape stuff
I saw your post and just wanted to see if I can help. I am also located in the So California region. I have emailed about 50 dealers in the past few days, and I got about 5 with MSRP and 1 under MSRP. colors I found are Red, White, Black, Silver...Oh, these are Fit Sport AUTO... If you are interested in the locations, let me know. I am not sure if I should post them on here....
Hope this helps!
Everyone has an opinion, but my opinion is that pinstripes look cheesy on modern cars..
I'd rather have $50 more off...

BTW salesman tried to sell me accessories for $1000 + service warranty but I told him I don't need it. He did not resist but he also added Wheel locks for free:)
pinstripes.
Where are you located?
I know a few dealers in LA Area are selling for hundreds off MSRP.
2009 Honda Fit 4-Dr Sport VSA Hatchback
which has an MSRP of $19,430.00

Thanks.

Got mine August 29th, 3 days later some jerk backed into me in a parking lot. Just got it back from the body shop 9/12. I owned my car for 13 days and had to drive a 2009 Corolla S for 10 days of it.
(sigh)
My mileage was about 13 when I took delivery.
Thanks for all the info on this board. We definitely benefited from it!
Noteworthy: Buena Park Reps (Ty and Ericson) were very helpful. They did not have the color in-stock, but spent 5 hours contacting other dealers for a trade. All for roughly $100 off MSRP. Very straight forward. Given the review on this board and some other dealers I've met, this type of service is exceptional!!!
I went to Santa Ana Honda yesterday to see a Silver Fit Sport Auto. I was quoted MSRP over the phone. When I arrived, I realized that there was a "$2000 package" added to it. (To give the representative credit, she did call and left a message to inform me of the package). Representatives were nice and professional. They also tried to ask the manager to let the car go for MSRP. However, this Package is what troubled me the most.
Here's the details:
-Alarm
-Tint
-Wheel Locks
$1800+
I believe alarm is standard on the Fit Sport. So, the extras are tint and wheel locks for $1800... I think this type of practice is borderline deceptive. I understand ADMs and markups. But classifying markups as a upgrade package is unjust in my book. Just want to share that... Thanks
I would be very interested in the locations of the So. Cal dealerships you contacted that have MSRP pricing for the Fit Sport Auto. I am a serious buyer and will delay purchase until MSRP is available to me.
Thank you for your assistance and any information you can give me.
I would be very interested in knowing the LA area dealerships that genuinely will sell at MSRP.
Appreciate your help.
I wouldn't dream of attempting this myself!
I agree on pinstripes...tacky, But, that's me. Others like them.
In attempt to repay in a small way, I have accumulated my pre-negotiated findings...
I will not post individual names, but all prices are quoted from dealer's internet dept. Should you need the specific person's name, you can email me ardentaznyahoo.com. Also, call ahead to see if they have your color in-stock, add-ons, and other details to save time/frustrations...
FIT Sport AUTO
1.) Buena Park Honda... = MSRP + Free car mat
2.) Honda of Downey ...= MSRP + Free car mat (none in -stock as of 9/15/2008, will get more cars in 12 days)
3.) Honda of Downtown LA... = only white in-stock = MSRP
4.) Riverside Honda... = MSRP
5.) Diamond Bar Honda... = MSRP
6.) Colonial Honda... = MSRP
7.) Norm Reeves Huntington Beach... = MSRP (will have car in 5-10 days)
8.) San Juan Capistrano Honda.. = MSRP
Deals are not set in stone, perhaps you can bargain for more. But this is a good place to start..
Hope this helps!!!!
No, it will not. Your sister got a discount on the Camry because there's LOTS of comparable mid-sized cars competing with the Camry. The Fit is the newest and arguably best small car design, and in a world of $4 a gallon gas will command top dollar for the forseeable future.
P.S. Your sticker price on the Fit Sport Auto is wrong. The Base Fit Auto is $16,020. The Sport Fit Auto is considerably more.
Only way to test drive it is to put 500 down and order the car.
i did it because i want to compare to versa 09 that i also put 500 down to hold the car. it's similar power package and it's 14227. fit base automatic model is 16020, a sticker price.
i am just wondering should i wait for 09 fit to test drive (I don't know when)
or just go for versa.
i liked the way versa drives but less fuel economy.
If you are looking to purchase in the Inland Empire in SoCal, please me an e-mail. I had a straightforward transaction earlier this week with one of the local dealers and I can provide you with the name of the internet fleet manager and his contact info. I had been in contact with about 10 different dealers over the past month shopping for the car. I ended up purchasing from the one who was the most honest and upfront with me. He also had the best e-mail quote which he honored with no gimmicks. As FYI, I did not finance the car, had no trade-in, and declined all add-ons. So, send me an e-mail if you're interested in learning more.
Looking for 09 Fit Sport AT with Silver Color.
Looking for 09 Fit Sport AT with Silver Color.
I'm new to this board so forgive me if this has already been addressed, but I live in mid-state Illinois and am looking for a 2009 Honda fit. Online, at least, none of the dealers around here have ANY, and I really don't want to drive to Chicago or St. Louis just to buy a vehicle.
Anyone know of a different way to get one around here? I'm not real clear on how to deal with "fleet managers" or what the proper chain of command is with all that. And, yes, I have read some, but it sure feels like there's alot of information that I don't know.
thanks for any help

I paid 19,855.46 USD but then had a $966.00 dealer rebate. Got 7,729.50 USD for my 02 Civic Coupe with 26K miles trade-in. Got all-season mats as well.
Carter Honda in Vancouver
I was looking for a Base Manual in Tidewater Blue. There were, as it turned out, only 3 in California, but they were being sold way over MSRP. Stockton Honda worked out a 3-way swap, and Rick drove from Stockton to SF to Sacramento to El Cerrito and back to Stockton to get my car, a Base Manual in Tidewater Blue, sold to me at MSRP. That's what I call going above and beyond. What a great dealership!

Also, anyone with experience installing side molding? I can purchase the molding pieces from a Honda accessories site for $150. Dealer charges $250.
Walked into South Shore Honda today after checking their stock online.
They happened to have an Orange sport, and a Tidewater blue base, both autos.
After test driving a Civic LX and determining that it was just as wonderful and bland as the 1999 Civic we have, I opted to go with the car that made me smile.
They let me test drive the Orange sport, and I was all grins. Sure it rides rougher than the Civic, and I could get a Civic for the same money, but I want a more utilitarian car that'll carry odd sized objects, fit in small spots, get great mileage, all the while feeling like a go-kart.
So I bought both the Orange sport and Tidewater base automatic fits. Paid MSRP + tax and plates for each. Got the remote entry/security system thrown in on the blue base model. Settled for 5.49% financing for 60 months each. 10G's down (5 each) total payment for both cars will be $511 month.
The dealer now has no more Fits. I bought the only two they had, in colors I liked. I got lucky.
I also saw some new fits at napa honda
