Honda Car Forum

Tried to get a look at a Honda Fit today. Local dealers don't have one so I called a dealer 35
miles away, they said they had one on the lot. I was there in less than an hour and they said, "oh,
sorry, someone just drove off with it." Then they tried to push other cars on me. Thanks assholes.
You lie to get me to drive a long distance for nothing then try to pressure me into buying something
I don't want. Bye bye, Honda! Hello Ford Focus!

I've been to dealers that had Fits on the lot. The next day, they were
gone.
Maybe it really did sell.

Some salesmen / dealers are awful liars about this stuff, so I
wouldn't hesitate to ask them to look up the VIN for the vehicle
I was coming out to see. If they give you one that shows up on
CarFax as already having been sold, you know what to think ...

I guess it doesn't really matter, does it? Bottom line is it's impossible to buy one or even look
at one, so I might as well forget about it. For all practical purposes, the Fit doesn't even exist.
I haven't even seen one on the road. It's so much easier and cheaper to just buy the Ford Focus.

I've seen some of them around here, and I don't mean sitting at the dealer.

It may be cheaper to buy. But depending on how long to plan to keep it, it
will likely cost more to maintain.

WOW! Am I glad I couldn't find a Fit. The Focus has a more powerful engine and is $5,000 cheaper!
Jeeze, the Fit is just an overpriced ripoff. BYE!

That's not Honda dealers.

That's CAR dealers.

Not all Honda dealers behave like that.

You found a Focus for $11K and it includes aluminum wheels, and auto
transmission?

No shit?

I'd blame the SALESMAN,not the whole dealership.
Perhaps you should have complained to the sales manager,maybe you would
have gotten compensation of some sort.
