Non-existent. When AG bought hers they were willing to negotiate trade-in value of her CR-V, but there was no chance of budging the price of the Fit by a dollar. The only reason the manufacturers sell Fits/ Corollas/ Cruzes is to hope that when you get a promotion and have a kid you want to stick with the brand when you buy something they can make some money on.
