Looks like there are people out there getting it for $15,765 plus tax, including some accessories.

crimsona

The 16565 seems to include the delivery charge. Tax in unavoidable. License and doc fee is profit for the dealer, but $200 isn't the end of the world. I don't anticipate you being able to reduce those fees anytime soon, so it will come down to how long are you willing to wait and how much that waiting time is worth to you.

jfritsch

Yes they are in really short supply as 2 cars per dealer may be less than a 20 day supply. Honda's average per dealer is probably 60. You may want to try waiting until the supply situation gets better (if you can) to get better prices.

The only reason all the dealers don't charge $1000 over MSRP is the competition from others in its class and pretty soon you are into a low end Civic or SCION Ta (hatchback also). Also, look into a Ford Focus, as I've seen far to many ads around the country for 5000 -6000 off MSRP to ignore.(around $10000-11000) Fit may be better but not that much better.

A price of 16000 with 500 in fees is superior to 16400 price with 200 in fees so get competitive quotes from at least 10 dealers with bottom line prices OTD (tax,fees + price) Do this last week of the month. There really is no other time to buy a new car if you can help it.

A dealer in the Bay Area is offering the Fit Sport Automatic at:

Selling Price $16,565.00
Tax (CA) 1,454.25
License fee 161.00
Doc fee 55.00
County fee 10.00
State fee 8.75
_______________________
Total $18,254.00

Is this a reasonable price? Are the Fits REALLY that hard to come by? I have about 20 dealers in the bay area & they all have at least one or two. Seems like a good selection to me.

Honda came out with a great idea for the consumer. They introduced the Fit with only a 5 to 600 hundred dollar markup. Although dealers are selling this car at MSRP, if you can find one, BUY IT! Don't pass up on an in stock unit to shop the car around. They are just too rare!

Agreed! I love that they are rare! Everything on order has a down payment on it usually.

But it if you think it is reasonable, otherwise I agree with other poster, find something lessor to buy for less money so you wont mind so much.

This is an awesome car...for me!

I don't think you need to sell Fits to people on this forum. Personally, I'm more interested in finding out about people's buying experiences and prices paid, not the theoretical consumer cost. Let's leave the sales talk to the guys wearing the "full Chicago" (striped sports coat with plaid pants and white shoes).

Why would you ever think license fees are profit to a dealer?

We simply COLLECT license fees and sent the money to the state.

Doc fees HELP cover some of the administrative payroll, postage and general expense in processing the TONS of paperwork that it takes to insure your car gets properly registered and titled.

Now, some stores charge ridiculous doc fees that are out of line. We charge 35.00.

Gee, the dealer where I bought my Fit charged SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS for their doc fee. I didn't want to pay it, really didn't want to pay it, but you know what? I am a sucker! I wanted the car, and I was tired of dealing with different dealers. They had the lowest price overall of the dealers who'd provided quotes, and my old car was on its last legs, or so I thought. It's hard knowing how badly I got ripped off, so I try not to think about it.

I do love my Fit.

fitrn

$35 is def more than reasonable... the dealer im using charges $75 which I don't mind paying either. However, the only other major Honda dealer in the state quoted $369 doc prep fee for an over pimped over priced fit. They have actually dropped the price a bit over the weeks. They should realize that the Fit is not attracting people who like to pay lots of $$ for a suped up subcompact, but typically those more economical looking for qaulity for the price. If I were to pay what they were asking for the Super Duper fit with "sporty things" I would be looking at the Element or somehting different. The Fit is a great car for the money!! :shades:

drive62

This is an excerpt from a local (and somewhat nationally recognized) auto writer about the state of Illinois' soon to be almost tripling of the DOC fee.

Sorry ISell but the "paperwork" a dealer does doesn't justify this ridiculous fee. As he suggests in the article, I negotiate a lower sale price to compensate.

Then, as now, the DOC fee isn't mandated by law, the amount is. Dealers are free to charge the fee or not as long as everyone pays the same if it is charged and it doesn't exceed $58.48 now ($150 soon), says Jerry Cizek, president of the Chicago Automobile Trade Association, which represents more than 500 Chicagoland dealers and spearheaded the original DOC fee as well as the proposal for an increase.

Bob Loquercio, chairman of the association and an Elgin Toyota, Scion and Hyundai dealer, insists the higher fee is justified.

"The amount of paperwork and people needed to process it have increased. The cost has quadrupled since 1992, but the fee hasn't kept up," he said.

Can't object to a higher fee if it costs $150 to process the paperwork--Loquercio won't say--but wouldn't hiring a staff that can dot and cross faster be a better solution?

Loquercio argues that many dealers, himself included, weren't in business when the DOC fee was adopted and had no say in the amount.

"I became a dealer in 1996. We probably had 10 documents to fill out on each sale then. Now it's more like 40. We've more than doubled our staff because [political] bureaucracy has increased the amount of paperwork to process even the simplest of tasks."

For example, 9/11 adds to the load.

"Dealers have been asked to do more, even checking to make sure they aren't selling to terrorists," said Cizek.

Compliance with the Office of Foreign Assets Control mandates dealers don't do business with "prohibited persons," defined as terrorists or those who support them. A dealer can't sell a car to or even change the oil for a prohibited person.

An office worker has to check the buyer's name against the people and organizations listed on the OFAC Web site with whom dealers can't do business.

There are 262 pages of names, but it only took a couple of minutes to see that there's no Jones, Thompson, Williams and only one Smith (Columbia) on the list.

What really gripes Illinois dealers? In at least 30 states dealers charge $400 to $900 in DOC fees--though anyone charging $900 must be using $100 bills for notepads. So what's wrong, they argue, with those in Illinois charging $150?

Of course, that raises what surely will be the next question dealers ask:

If other states charge from $400 to $900, why is Illinois charging only $150?

I hope you don't think 35.00 is "ridiculous" ?

What's the problem?

Some stores charge hundreds of dollars for doc fees.

That certainly impacts "Prices Paid"!

jfritsch

Yes, $35 is a very reasonable Doc fees compared to the $500 bump up doc fees others may charge. However when soliciting bids one must get all doc fees, licence , and Tax to compare otd prices.

I checked my state transfer fees and compared to what dealer was asking. I paid exactly what the state wanted for title and registration transfer.

Hi all, it's almost been a year that I have got my Fit Sport AT

now that I have got a notice from DMV and it states that the license renew registration fee is $160 - which is more than what I paid for my 1st year...sounds kinda weird to me because the reg. fee should be lower each year as the car gets older... can someone please post their registration fee for the Honda fee (especially license renewing owners)?

By the way, I am in Los Angeles, California

Thanks!

nascartrash

I paid 171.00 when new up here in the bay area. 160.00 is not bad for renewal,there are so many little fees did you move to a different county? or now we pay extra for god knows what program.
.

isellhondas

License fees can vary widely so posting them won't really tell you anything.

An easy way for a state to boost revenue is to simply raise license fees a bit.

As a former Californian, I can tell you that CA is especially good at this especially after Prop 13 went through. The money has to come from somewhere.

Maybe Feinstein and Boxer can help?

nascartrash

feinstein or boxer can help? ha. I know lets ask arnold!
come on like any of them give a rats [non-permissible content removed] about it.

racerski,

I've had my Fit for three months, and I'm enjoying it very much. My wife also had a Civic Wagon (1984) but we got rid of it about 10 years ago. If you currently have both a Fit and a Civic Wagon, perhaps you can settle something for us. We recall the driver's seating position in the Civic Wagon being very upright, but we think it had more leg room than in the Fit. Since the wheelbases are identical, and the Fit is about 3" longer overall, it seems that the seating room should be about the same. Of course we're both 23 years older and not as spry, but is that the only reason the Fit seems a little harder to get in and out of?

racerski

Hondaful,

Thanks for the post. Ten years ago is a long time but I bet that Civic Wagon had a lasting impression. My buddy who just drove away our 1986 Honda Civic Wagon was trilled to get it as a second car. Yes it did have more leg room, and more upright, and was bigger then the fit, even with the same dimensions. I had to do a lot of convincing to get my wife to let that Civic Wagon go but she did mainly for the safety reasons. The all air bags along with the side curtain air bags, the Fit’s performance, you can’t say no to a car that has it all. Like I said in my earlier posts this car is pure fun, with the 5 speed, we are really having a great time and lets not forget the gas milage. Yes, the Fit is a little harder to get in and out of.. My wife thinks the additional safety features, the added door safety supports, forces the fit to have a little less interior space. Good answer, and I’m the engineer!

fitrn

welll.. I had a fit ordered and was told it would be in around Mar 20th by the salesman (he actually said he could probably get one long before then when I put me deposit down Feb 20). Then I checked a few days after the 20th after not hearing anything from the salesman and was shown a sheet that showed it didn't even leave japan until Mar 18 and was due no later than April 4th. My salesman was out the day I saw this data sheet. I called the salesman about 1 week later and he said, "oh yes well it can come in a few days before or after the due date (he was still referring to Mar 20th and this was Mar 29th. I informed him, of the data sheet I saw. he then tells me after "researching" it that He feels "strongly" that it will be in by Sat (Mar 31). So I rush around and get the insurance ready since he was soo surreee it was going to arrive Sat because Yadda Yadda Yadda.. what upsets me is he has not contacted me once to update me on the dates he gave me that have come and gone and he doesn't seem to have basic infortmation. Im getting very worried......thanks for letting me rant :surprise:

anahita61

Yikes, that sounds really frustrating! I hope you get your Fit any day now.

It looks like getting a Fit can give one fits.

racerski

Hey fitrn hang in there. You are going to get your fit and you won’t regret the wait. Rant with the words all you want, it’s Okay, as long as it helps you clean out the cobwebs. Lets look at the positives, you do have a VIN number, and sales guy is tracking the vehicle. My buddy got a VIN number with his fit in Japan and it took a month before he got it. He did get it exactly the way he wanted it. Please let us know when you get it so we can all celebrate. In your words I can feel the pain.

countrymom

One of our keys is "hiding" some place so I finally broke down and bought another key yesterday. All this to say there were three Fits sitting on the lot... All AT. When did they start making an AT that isn't a Sport? It was a lot less than the Sport...

One more thing make sure you check around if you lose a key. The dealer we bought the car from wanted $160 plus tax for a new key. I went to a dealer on the other side of town and only paid $85 including tax...

Thanks,
mimi

The base Fit has been available with a 5-speed automatic since the car's introduction to the U.S. last spring.

countrymom

Thanks, I never new that... I guess since it was the car my son wanted and was so hard to find we didn't due enough research. Are there many AT base Fits out there? Thanks, mimi

Didya get it yet?

You will love it more and more each time you get in to drive it and every time you fill up the tank.

It will be nice knowing you got the car that you wanted.

Especially so since it is a car that will probably run at least another 10-15 years, and you may own it that long and hopefully problem free as it is with Hondas.

Good luck and keep us posted!

I live in bay area too, and I have been looking a Fit Sport for my wife about a month. All of the dealers here are asking the mark-up price,

Sunnyvale: MSRP + $3000
Stevens Creek: MSRP + $2000
Fremont: MSRP + $1995

It is very frustrating to us who just want to pay MSRP. Also, they are so many hidden fee, like Doc fee, License fee, and the dealers will never tell you the truth until the end. :confuse:

Who live in bay area and get a fair price (or a better dealer) on Honda Fit? Please help us! Thanks!

nascartrash

have you checked out san leandro honda yet???

rsm333

Call (or email) the internet department at Manly Honda in Santa Rosa. It may be a bit of a drive, but they are selling Fits at MSRP and they seem to have them is stock most of the time. I special ordered mine and it to them six weeks to get it.

racerski

The big factor in ordering a Fit and getting the Fit you want is, settling for a color, Manual Transmission in a base model, or a base model with an automatic. I think 90 percent of the Fits are AT sports. From my phone calls to 19 dealers with the 19 call finding my Fit it seemed there were no manual transmissions of the cars they had in stock. Most of the sales people said MT was extremely difficult to get. I have learned that the dealer that sells the most cars gets the largest allocation and if dealers get the allocation within a period of time they can’t even order one. That is what happened to me in my first order where the sales guy told me he ordered it but I found out he never did since after 6 weeks I didn’t get a VIN number for the car. Japan gives the VIN number to the dealer of the cars that will be delivered. The car takes 6 to 8 weeks from the build date. I hope this helps people get a better understanding of this vehicle that everyone seems to want.

anahita61

I bought mine in the Atlanta metro area, but this still makes me feel really lucky that I got the exact Fit I wanted, without having to order it. The Internet Sales Manager knew what I wanted, but I was so hesitant to finalize the process that she just went ahead and got the car to the dealership without me, and then told me when it was there (a couple of weeks later), knowing I'd probably buy it, or if not, she could certainly sell it. Smart move on her part, and I'm super happy. Silver MT Sport.

I was going to get a Matrix, but I hated that there were so many options to choose from that weren't standard, and packages, and I couldn't find one with all I wanted. Plus, the Fit is just nicer, I think.

kenji4861

I live in the bay area too. Don't let the sales reps tell you a price, just talk to the internet fleet manager. They are more mature and to the point. If they tell you $3000 over MSRP, tell them that someone is offering for $500 over MSRP.. and if they can beat it.

Fremont (autowest) - MSRP + $500
Fresno - MSRP - $100 (THE BEST)
Capitol - MSRP

Once again.. don't listen to the sales reps. Talk to an internet fleet manager. They will be to the point of what they can do and always ask them to beat other dealers because they love to say "we'll beat any dealer".

nerdomatic

I live in San Jose and bought a red Fit Sport AT at the end of February. I paid MSRP, which is pretty unusual in the San Francisco Bay Area. And how did I get such a price? I had to go outside the Bay Area, to Davis, in the Central Valley near Sacramento!

The primary problem from the end of Jan. to the middle of February, when I was looking, seemed to be the availability--most dealers didn't even have one Fit. I emailed about 6 near me for quotes and either they said they didn't have them (Capitol Honda), wouldn't give a price (Gilroy & Santa Cruz), ignored my email (Stevens Creek), or wanted way more than MSRP (South Bay Honda in Los Gatos, for instance, wanted $2,000 over). The one dealer who offered MSRP (Autowest Honda in Fremont) didn't even have any in stock.

So I looked through all the inventory on the dealer's web sites and the same problem. Stevens Creek actually had 5 but made me call for the price and then wanted about $1800 over MSRP (and their salesman was very pushy just over the phone). I tried to order one from Autowest in Fremont but the same salesperson I talked to earlier suddenly wanted $1000 over MSRP just to order one.

Even worse, two dealers (Berkeley Honda and some place in Livermore) were listing USED Fits on Autotrader for just under $20,000: that's more than $3,000 over MSRP!! They were very low-mileage cars (between 1 and 2 thousand miles), but...geez!

In frustration, I emailed University Honda in Davis on Sunday, Feb. 18. They called back on 2/19 in the morning and by afternoon the same day had a car for me, in the right color, with the right trim, for MSRP. Turns out they had to trade one of their cars to El Cerrito Honda (just north of Berkeley) to get the Fit I wanted. The car was built in Jan. 2007 and had just been received by the El Cerrito dealership on Friday the 16th.

I drove up to Davis the next day and bought the Fit for MSRP. The salesperson I worked with was just great, very personable, and everything seemed very open and aboveboard. Even no pressure in the finance room. (Added bonus: the license plate frame is probably the best looking dealer-issued one I've ever seen here in the Bay Area.)

The only extra fee charged by University Honda was $65 to have one of their employees go to El Cerrito and drive my Fit back the 60 or so miles to Davis.

I still have the second window sticker that the $%#&*s at El Cerrito Honda had added. They wanted $1495 in "added markup" and also wanted $129 for the wheel locks they installed and $295 for their "propack" of plastic edging around the doors. University Honda just passed on to me the price they had to pay to El Cerrito for these things, which was $50 for the edge guards and $40 for the locks (College Hills Honda has the same locks for $35, so $40 is a good price and well worth it).

Here's the breakdown/recap of what I paid:

$16565 (MSRP)
$65 fee for driving the car about 60 miles to Davis
$50 edge guards
$40 wheel locks
$45 doc fee.

The rest was state-mandated sales tax based upon the county I live in (Santa Clara, so 8.25%/$1383.11), license fee for the state ($160 was the dealership's estimate and what they charged me, but according to the registration card I just got, the state charged them $173), and $8.75 for tire fees. That's it.

I left my old car in Davis overnight (it was a really old car, almost old enough to be in driver's ed itself). Then I took Amtrak back to Davis from San Jose the next day to pick it up. Just sold the old car on Craigslist this weekend. The Fit is a great car, albeit so flashy compared to my old Escort wagon that it's taken some getting used-to.

So, in short, I had to drive 111 miles, but got the exact car I wanted at the price I was willing to pay, without having to wait. Never thought I would be so happy to pay MSRP.

racerski

You were lucky you got the MT, almost as difficult to get in the base model. The way you got your car is perfect and you probably had the VIN number from the sales person as soon as she tracked the car. Like I said in previous post this MT with the short throw is a blast to drive. I just can’t get over the way it handles. This is my wife’s car but I think I am enjoying more than her.

fitforless

I had a very similar buying experience. I live in SF & also bought my Fit from University Honda for MSRP through the internet sales department. He didn't try to stick me with anything. He tried to convince me to pay $695 for some clear coat on the car to protect it. I declined & he accepted my position. So ended up at MSRP plus tax, title.

San Leandro Honda was ready to give it to me for MSRP too, the internet sales department was great. The internet sales rep was also very clear that it was MSRP, no dealer accessory BS, or extra fees. She just didn't have any when I was ready to buy.

I literally called 45 dealers in the Bay Area from Marin to Gilroy & as far away as Stockton. The Menlo Park Honda dealer was rude; and most other dealers, like Honda of SF, Berkely & Oakland, were asking $2000-$3000 over MSRP. I told the guy in Oakland I'd come buy it from him that day for MSRP or drive to Davis. He wished me luck on my drive to Davis b/c he wouldn't let it go for MSRP. Unbelievable. :surprise:

Consumers in the Bay Are: STOP PAYING OVER MSRP!

I drove out to Davis last Friday night with my boyfriend & drove off that night with my Blaze Orange Fit Sport Automatic! And I LOVE it!

I picked up a White Sport AT/Beige Interior on Friday from Fladeboe Honda in Irvine CA. I had to pay MSRP + $300 for the PRO Pack. I felt it was a rip, but am using the car starting next for high mileage work, so I'm ok with it.

Here' my deal:

$15,565 MSRP
300 PRO Pack
1,313 CA Sales Tax
55 Doc Fee
177 License/Tire fees
$17,410 Total Cost out-the-door

This forum was helpful with my research. My experience this past week in the LA/Orange County area was that dealers do not have the car in stock. Those that do are adding a lot of additional items to the car at full price. My own research & calling around was the only way I found it. When I did find this one, I dropped everything I was doing and went and picked it up...closed the dealership down at 9:30 pm to secure the car that evening and drove it home. I have to say, it is one "peppy" car! Lots of space inside...you'd never know it was as small as it is.

mbunting

For those looking in SoCal - it might be worth a drive over to the Victorville area...the Honda Dealer there had 3 Fits' on the lot the other day, 2 Blaze Orange and 1 Red...but not sure if the are AT or MT or anything else though.

We bought ours there last summer/early fall right off the truck for MSRP (no add ons) even got them to throw in some floor mats (the Fit ones) and a couple oil changes.

Have just 4k on our BOM AT Sport Fit - and love it!

backy

You actually got a great price on that Fit Sport AT. The MSRP including destination on that car is $16,565. So you actually got $1000 off MSRP before the Pro Pack.

jebc23

But what I don't get is that the Fit Sport doesn't come with BEIGE interior...only BLACK...so maybe this is a base Fit??

I'm picking up my Blaze Orange Sport AT tomorrow after nearly a 4-month wait. Paying MSRP, no added accessories, but dealer "fees" of 399.50 will be added. Could be worse. I walked away from another dealer that could have gotten one sooner, but wanted a NON-refundable deposit, and insisted on adding on the 16" tires and fancy wheels, plus other "protective" accessories. The car was at about $19,000 by that time!

jebc23

Oops! I guess it's been sooo long since I looked at the Fit that I forgot you can order a SPORT model with a BEIGE interior...

Then, hot damn! You did get a GREAT price on that white Sport AT Fit! Congratulations!

mbunting

For those in the Bay area of CA - why not fly into Ontario, CA and pick up a Fit down this way (LA, Victorville, Ontario)? I'm guessing you could fly in for less than $100 and then drive back with your new Fit for another $100 in gas...

Just an idea...

racerski

Buying a sport with all the extras is definitely worth the money. However, if you want a base fit with a few extras you almost wind up paying more that a sport but get it the Fit the way you want it. I just completed installing extras in my wife’s fit getting it exactly the way we wanted it. We picked it up March 12, 2007 after a long struggle getting this base Lunar Mist MT. Read my earlier posts you will get the full story (search racerski). This is our second car with a price that is perfect at $14,445 in today’s car prices a bargain with Honda quality. A couple things I did want like having the remote entry. After my installed extras this makes for the perfect vehicle that you never seem to want to stop driving. I have pictures of this fit under Racerski’s fit on carspace photos. Check it out

14,445.00 MSRP
1,245.88 Sales Tax New York City
12.50 Waste Tire Fee
10.00 State Inspection Fee
70.00 License Fee
45.00 Dealers Processing Fee

Total Out The Door $15,828.35

My add-ons
I installed all these:

Mud Guards $40.00
New Wheels $380.00 with installation
Fit mats $53.00
Remote entry kit $105.00
Honda Locking Gas cap $36.00
Chrome License Plate Frames $30.00
Chrome exhaust extension $25.00

I don’t remember but I think about another $20.00 in shipping fees.

The remote entry kit came with a warning that a Honda Trained Technician should install this harness. I will say it wasn’t a “walk in the park” but I felt great when it all worked after about three hours of intense electrical work. It reminded me once again “don’t give up your day job”. I want to tell you when I pushed the buttons on the remote and everything worked; now that is, “priceless”.

Picked up my Blaze Orange Fit Sport AT yesterday at Fisher Honda in Boulder, CO. Paid MSRP ($16565), dealer fees of 399.50, plus local taxes. Had to sit through the businesss manager's spiel about extended warranty, etc, and hear the horror stories about what "could" happen if I didn't opt for the "extras." I politeley declined.

I did notice two add-ons to the price that I did NOT request: a "security etching" on the windows ($199) and an additional charge for four discounted service visits down the road. I asked that both be removed, and that happened with no problem.

All in all, the experience at Fisher was great. I loved my saleman, who shall remain nameless.

Only thing I will have to get used to: NOT being able to see the hood AT ALL from the driver's seat. I know it's there, and I guess I'll get used to that!

Now to figure out mats, seat covering or cushions, and other accessories....

jebc23

PS

Just FYI,
Fisher has TWO black Fit Sport AT's on their lot available for purchase, in case anybody is still looking...One is slightly reduced in price due to some minor repair to the roof...

anahita61

Yay, congrats on getting your new Fit! And good that you got those extras taken off the final price. I had to sit through the whole spiel about what could happen if I didn't buy the extra warranties as well. Not a good time (mainly because he almost had me convinced!).

Not being able to see the engine hood is weird at first, but you get a feel for how much room you've got, and I seem to overestimate all the time, but it's a short car so I never stick out of parking spaces.

I got my dealer to throw in some floor mats, the kind that hook to clips installed in the floorboard, but I skipped the clips after two visits to get them installed and no one acknowledging my appointment. They sit on the floor just fine without them.

Enjoy your Fit!
