No, "I'm sorry, let me see what I can do, Let me call around." Nothing. I guess I am used to having a dealership WANT my business. He did not even try to lie about feeling bad. He is giving me our deposit back and said," go ahead and blog away there is nothing I can do about it." There was no mention about a 2 week wait when he took my deposit, I guess Honda dealers think the Fit is in such demand they can do what ever they want.
If i where you i would reconsider and get a different car, the honda fit has a terrible crash rating. I would value my life and well being above a few extra gas miles. May want look at the Honda Civic , it gets almost 4o mpg and is rated one of the top in safety tests. I have had several civics and ran them in the ground with over 25o,ooo miles and did nothing but change the oil and tires. Just a suggestion, would not hurt to test drive one you may buy it.
