Too much for a fit
 

I was serious enough to get to talking price. She came up with $19,500
for the sport with a cargo net. I pointed to a nearby 2006 Accord LX
listed for $18,950. Yes, she says, but there are lots of Accords, and
few Fits. We charge over MSRP for them. Well, then let other folks pay
that money for it.

I also couldn't quickly locate a bike rack for the back, and that's
critical for me. So when I find out for sure that a bike rack fits the
Fit, she says that she can do better. It has to be a lot better. Like
$2500 to $3000.

I guess I throw some more money into my 1991 Accord and wait another
year or so.

I got mine for MSRP. Go to a different dealer.

Won't the bike fit inside the Fit?

Thought that was the idea of the magic seat.

One will, though probably with the front tire removed. Two big bikes
won't without getting very scratched. Plus, there is the occasional
need to bring other stuff along that takes that space. No, bikes
belong on the back. Surfboards belong on top.

Re: Too much for a fit
 

I got a season-end new civic for $13K a year and half ago.
They added a VP ugragrade without cost.
I got 41 mpg on my road trip last week- just as good as a fit.
