Should I pay the dealer mark up for the Honda Fit?

Check out the Nissan Versa... I drive them at work a lot and I actually like them, which I never thought I'd say. Very VERY nimble, good stereo, great feel all around. A lot of little fixes for things that have always been kinda dumb, like seat adjustments on the lower left of the drivers seat? Heck no, the Versas are on the inside by the center console and much higher.

Oh, need I mention Bluetooth capable, and a smart key, the one you don't have to take out of your pocket to start?

I completely agree. Unless you desperately need another car, wait. The only reason dealers mark cars up like this is because a car is in high demand and they know they can make more money on the car. It's too bad California has stricter emissions requirements than GA because the Honda dealer 2min. from me has several Fits for sale and I doubt they are marked up.

depends on how much you want one...it's a good car in limited supply nationwide this year. you could check other dealers in your area, but no matter where you order from you will likely have to wait awhile. I think the sooner you put a deposit down the better, demand will likely continue to escalate this year, this is just my largely-uninformed personal opinion, though.

Make sure you look at the Nissan Versa and the Scion xA as comparisons, both of these are more available this year. If you absolutely must have a Fit (and who could blame you) you must resign yourself to paying for it and waiting for it....so ask yourself what it's worth to you, because it's your money after all, and your enjoyment of the car that will make it worthwhile in the end.

Fittingly yours,

If a car has a markup, it is in hot demand or the supply is limited. I would recommend that you wait.

I have a PT Cruiser and when it first came out, it was hot and people double the price to get one. That was pretty outrageous. It only took 8 months for it to die down.

If you are not in desperate need of this car, then I recommend to wait.

I artwork at a honda dealership and we don't mark up a automobile basically reason its new or in severe call for. now if there's a severe call for for it and we cant save them on the lot nicely make human beings pay decal cost yet this is actual uncommon, yet we would possibly in no way mark them over decal cost

Don't pay the markup.

If you propagate the trend it will continue. Dealers do this because they think they can. they make money on every car, why should they make more on you?

BTW, most every car is now "50 State Legal" as far as emissions stuff goes. There is no markup on pollution controls like there was in the past thanks to global warming.

Only if you're desperate for that model. Hot sellers often attract additional dealer markup. Classic supply and demand.

They're not too expensive in Japan (and come in many cute colors), but the steering wheel is on the right side of the car. Oh, well... ;-)

Ohhhhhhhh... My mom's buying a Fit, but we're more north and east a bit. Anyhoo, maybe you should get it out of state.

No,don't let them rip you off.
