Re: Honda Fit Prices
I paid $20,000.00 for my white 2007 Honda Fit Sport on 26 April, 2007.
It was on the showroom floor for about three hours when I purchased it from Gillman Honda Fort Bend in Richmond (Houston), Texas, U.S.A. The first Honda Fit sold by the dealer. It was the only Fit available for purchase. Details: 15,170.00 Manufacturer's suggested retail price - Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha 550.00 Distribution and handling 695.00 Customer protection package (clear coat) 295.00 Window etching 395.00 Front sport grill ( a joke fot this tiny aluminum piece) 99.00 Exhaust finisher (chrome exhaust cover) 395.00 Interior trim (if you can find it) 299.00 Steering wheel cover ( $12.00 at Wal Mart ) ------------- 17,898.00 Manufacturer's suggested retail plus unwanted options 715.17 Premium above sticker (Dealer greeeeeeeeeeeeed tax) ------------- 18,613.17 Greeeeeeeedy Dealer price 1,163.32 Sales tax at 6.25% of 18,613.17 50.00 Documentation fee 43.00 Title fee 60.80 License plates 21.75 Inspection fee 5.00 Full Deputy Fee 42.96 Dealer's Inventory Tax ------------ 20,000.00 Final gross cost I will never buy another vehicle from Gillman Honda because I was required to purchase the "un-wanted" options and required to pay the above sticker premium (greeeeeed tax). I think they were tooooooooo greedy. My family currently own five Hondas purchased from this greeeeeeeeeedy dealer. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- My 2007 Fit has proven to be better than expected. It is put together like an expensive Swiss watch. Problem number 1: Honda saved a few scheckles by not installing a heat guage. I currently have an Oregan Scientific remote thermometer installed to "observe" the motor temperature. Problem number 2: The manual 5-speed transmission is geared too low for me. Under normal driving conditions, I am in fifth gear at forty miles per hour. This equates to 3,000 revelotion per minute (rpm) at sixty miles per hour; 4,000 rpm at eighty mph, and 5,000 rpm at 100 mph without a heat guage or any warning before the "Deep Fried buy a new Honda" light message is displayed. I plan to purchase a 2008 Honda Fit when they become available. My 2007 Sport model rides toooooooooooooo rough for me because of the low profile tires and handling package. I prefer my vehicle to preform like an interstate cruiser. Not like a "bounce" and "grab" the road vehicle. Good Continental tires all around will solve many of the harse handling problems. Continental tires have a high coefficient of friction that greatly reduces the stopping distance.

You have to pay if you want to be greedy. > I will never buy another vehicle from Gillman Honda because I was > required to purchase the "un-wanted" options and required to pay the > above sticker premium (greeeeeed tax). Dude, you weren't REQUIRED to pay any of it. What makes you think you were REQUIRED to pay that? You have total control over the deal: it's called walking with your money. Just leave, and don't buy the product at that price. You are a moron. Do you think the world OWES you any given product you want at the price YOU think it should be priced at? |

No concern at all. Your engine will run quite well at those speeds for an extended period with no heat issues. If the temp gets too warm, the dummy light will come on in plenty of time. If it comes on, it has nothing to do with the R's, but rather a problem. Pull over and get the car fixed. |

It was tested on europeans and in other parts of the world for a decade or so. The overheating problems would've been known by now. If you want tall gearing get an imprezza. That piece of crap of mine does a wee bit over 2k rpm at 60mph. I'd take the Fit/Civic Si gearing over that on Imprezza anyday. > I plan to purchase a 2008 Honda Fit when they become available.

Re: Honda Fit Prices
My 2007 Honda Fit cost $20,000.00 U.S.D. on 26 April 2007 from Gillman
Honda Fort Bend (southwest of Houston,Texas). The greedy dealer added many unwanted options and charged $715.17 above sticker price to round up to an even number. Do you want details?

Re: Honda Fit Prices
You purchased the "regular" model for $16,700.
The $20.000.00 was fot the "Sport" model and all the unwannted unnecessary options the dreeeedy dealer stuck on.

You overpaid because you wanted to. The dealer didn't have a gun to your head. In the end, you were plain stupid, and now you are angry with the dealer for it. |

You overpaid. That's okay, just learn from it and next time you buy a car, do some homework and don't let the dealer gouge you. You'll feel better about it. |

He did overpay, but I also wanted the Fit more than the LX. For two reasons, first, the handling is great. Second, the body style fits my life better. I don't haul around passengers often but I do sometimes need the space to put bikes and such. I was willing to pay the list price for the Fit, which was not very different from the "more expensive" Civic, but not more. Oddly, the estimated gas mileage wasn't much better than the Civic although the hp was less. Both were very good though so it wasn't a consideration. Maybe next year, if my 91 Accord ever gives out. |

It is fine to choose the Fit over the Civic for what you want in a car. It is even fine to pay $4000 over list for it, if that suits you. The OP is a first-class whiner, though, in that he blames the dealer (and Honda) for his bad judgment, in that he feels he overpaid. He is clearly not smart enough to realize that he made his own decision on how much he was willing to pay. The dealer's job is to make money. They saw that sucker coming all the way down the road... |
