I just graduated and this will be my first car, so I'm super excited and I would love any advice. Thanks!
I don't know anything about overstock. Is the $15,550 inclusive of taxes, title, tags etc? What state are you in? Please give as much details about the car as possible, perhaps I or someone here can offer guidance.
I"m going to start looking at fits soon in the NC area
any advice?
looks like the silver ones have a higher price premium
I want to buy a 2010 Honda fit sport in Tallahassee, FL with Automatic transmission and navigation system. What would be the reasonable price for this car before taxes and other standard expenses? Can somebody help me with this please?
Thanks in advance
2010 fit base with auto:
$15435 + TTT = $16476.05 OTD. This is eastern NC - I think this is not too bad?
NC sales tax for vehicles = 3%
Anyone getting anything similar or lower than this?
Thank you,
Conny
Thanks in advances.
14,997.63 base price
750.00 destination charge
89.00 processing fee
938.20 sales tax
79.00 tags, registration, etc. (we transferred the tags from my trade in)
The internet sales specialist's price beat the other quotes I received and I appreciated the fact that there weren't any surprises (dealer installed options or miscellaneous fees) when I got to the dealership. He helped me switch my insurance over to the new car and personally transferred the tags from my old vehicle. All in all a pleasant buying experience and I'm happy with my new car and the price I paid. So I would definitely recommend Sport Honda in Silver Spring to anyone in the MD/DC area interested in a Honda FIT.
today we were quoted 19.000 for the same car in Broward county,FL!
Do you mind disclosing the dealer-that would be absolutely awesome.

Traded in a beat up 01 Buick Century that ran decent, but had serious hail damage, etc. No dealer offered me more than 1k for the Buick. (153k miles) KBB Trade in Value for "Fair" condition (which is a stretch) = 600 bucks
14995 + Tax + Title + Liscence (Including trade and all dealer documentation/delivery fees). 15995 actual cost if you consider the value of the trade. I think good deal based on what I am seeing.
Financed the entire purchase + TTL @ 0.9% for 60 months.
Payment.... under 300 bones with zero out of pocket for fees, tax, title, licence, destination fees, or documentation fees.
Want help buying a Mazda Fit? Thinking I could make about 100 bucks a pop for the info and and still save you over a grand compared to what some people are paying for the same vehicle.

I recently asked a bunch of dealerships around the Boston area to send me quotes for 2010 Honda Fit Sport Auto (Red) , via Edmunds.com.
The best price till now is:
Car Price: 17,155 (400 below invoice)
Tax 6.25 %: 1072
Doc Fees: 299
Registration: 125
Total: 18,651.
Is that a good price ? Can I do better or ask for any free options ?
Thanks

Is that good enough ? Not sure if I should get a better bargain nowadays for a 2010 model.
Thanks

And as the last person said what's a mazda fit? hahahahaha
So is 16,800 for a used 2009 Fit Sport bought recently in 2010 or
for a new 2009 Fit Sport bought in Aug 2009?
Just want to do a apple-to-apple comparison. Thanks again!

People, negotiate from OTD price!!!!!!!!!
I live in MD and am close to deciding on a Fit, most likely the Sport Automatic.
Loved your total price, so I was going to ask if you can share info about the dealership. I have a quote that is a bit higher than what you shared.
But I am also confused. Your numbers add up to $18,000. Is there some $750 promotion that I am not aware of? Or am I missing something about the $750?
Thanks.
Yeah your math is correct.
On paper, the 750 is treated as if it's coming out of my pocket, but the dealership is subsidizing that amount, making it 17250... Seems sketchy, I know.
Oh yeah. The dealership is Jim Coleman in Clarksville. If you're serious, you should hurry up since there are only 4 Fit Sports left (black, silver, orange, and blue (not tidewater blue)).
To save you time, I highly encourage you talk to Ravi and say that Victor (me) sent you here. This way the dealership knows exactly how much they need to adjust their pricing to get you to close the sale. I haggled over 2 hours...
You can charge upto 3k on your CC. Points?
Hope that helps.
Thanks, your response was very helpful.
I just drove home in a 2010 Fit Sport with the Nav system that had 13 miles. While I had no interest for the Nav system, I was getting the Fit for my wife, and wanted the traction control. Based on your numbers, I factored in an additional $1,750 for the Nav system, resulting in an OTD price of $19K, which following the wisdom in your signature is where I wanted to be.I spoke a few times with the folks that you mentioned, but their best OTD price was $20,200.
Another MD dealership in Rockville though determined that this was a fair price, so I got it for the desired OTD price of $19,000. Again, didn't really want the Nav system as my wife's Garmin and certainly my HTC Evo phone more than meets our GPS needs. If they couldn't work out the $19K, I probably would have waited for the 2011 line to see the new price of the Sport with the VSA included.
So, thanks again.
Maybe so, but in 100,000 miles the Honda will be a sure thing- and the Ford will be anything but. Congrats on making the right decision !
Now, imagine what the resale value of the Ford Fiesta 4 1/2 years from now and 115k miles later?
If I stick to the plan, I can buy 3 Fits and the 4th one is free.
I like the way you think ! :shades: I wish this was true though because I'm on my 5th Honda since 2004.
I'm working my way through the entire Honda line up, having owned 3 Accord's, a FIT for a short time, and now a 2011 CR-Z. My Mom is on her 3rd Accord and my Dad has a Ridgeline.
The 2012 Civic SI coupe may be my next Honda - or perhaps the Civic hybrid since it's projected fuel economy for the 2012 hybrid model is 50MPG.
Anyhow - I'm glad you had such great luck with your FIT, although since it's a Honda I wouldn't call it luck
Maybe so, but in 100,000 miles the Honda will be a sure thing- and the Ford will be anything but. Congrats on making the right decision !
My Crown Vic has 140K and 12 years on it and still runs better than a new Civic. Not *everything* domestic is junk.

Did you get a good deal? Be sure to come back and share!

Thanks for your post it helped me a lot. I started at 17,200 but then went up to 17,400 OTD to end the haggling. Do you still think its a good deal? Did you buy their President's club package?
Thanks!
Thanks for the rep. I think your deal is good, but do verify your contract to see if you are actually being billed for the right amount. When I was about to sign my paperwork, I spotted some shady practice where they added 750 addition our closed amount. I pointed that out and they quickly reworked the contract.
If you were able to get them to throw in some floor mats or trunk cover, then I'd say your deal was great!
All sales staff walked off angrily as I didn't purchase anything extra. A cheap subcompact car like the Fit is probably not worth buying extra packages for anyway...
What model year did you get?
Base model:
$15,818 (includes the addition of the center armrest and keyless entry)
$1851 (TTL, incl. S.F., CA sales tax of 9.5%)
= $17,669 OTD
Fit Sport:
$17,068
$1983 (TTL)
= $19,051 OTD
Seems higher than other people have been posting, but the sales tax out here is probably higher than anywhere else in the country.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
d
Good luck if you do purchase one, but please try to get the price down!

Unlike other sales people, Stephanie (internet manager) from DCH Academy Honda offered very low price up front and e-mailed full quote including all fees.
Other recommended dealerships:
Dealerships to avoid:
1) Planet Honda - they refuse to give full quote over the phone (provide base price, but won't tell you what their document fee is and what other fees they will charge.
2) Open Road Honda - very high document fee ($398)
OTD Price is: $18371.38
- Internet quote: $15905
- destination charge: $750
- documentation fee: $154.38
- registration: $25
- tax: $1343 (7.5%)
- license/title: $149
This price seems a little higher comparing to what other posters paid for their FIT sport.
After I read the posts here, I found that most people didn't get charged for destination and doc fee. I was wondering if the quote I got is a good price and any way to get rid of that destination and doc fees?
I want to buy the car before end of this month. Your prompt feedback is very appreciated.
Thanks!!
Just received an email from ZAG that the Honda Dealership in Riverside is clearing their remaining inventory of 2010 Fit Sport 5 speed manuals: "Honda Fit $2,000 below invoice including incentives... Your price drop may be due to the introduction or increase of manufacturer incentives, which are subject to change and/or expiration.".
Don't know if this applies to the other Fit models but, when I went to the ZAG website, it indicates it does and shows the dealership as the lowest priced in the country for the Fit.
Hope this can help someone out on this forum... if it does let us know and good luck.
AFTER the sale, he remembered he had the Honda Care ext warranty? My guess, he just didn't want to include it, & he can get back some or much of what he paid if he cancels.
Anyway, $750 for an ext warranty on a $13K car? That's 17.33% of your purchase price. Personally, I'd keep the $750 to put towards maintenence like oil changes, brakes, etc........
