Honda Fit Prices

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.

 

That's the point. 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...
