My Fit isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Especially since we're expecting our third child, and will be buying a new Ody soon. Plus I still love the car. We need it to offset the Ody's mileage.

We considered a used Ody, but after looking into it, we realized a used minivan can be a nasty peitri dish on wheels. Besides, the new Ody is probably the best looking one yet. I'm liking that zig-zag window line, and the door handles are exquisite.

 

Fits are stupid over priced. Some 07's are 5 years old now and even with 50-60k miles people still want 12-13k. THESE ARE 5 YEAR OLD ECONOMY CARS COSTING 15k NEW.

I wanted a Fit, but I realized even at 10k I'm overpaying just because morons think that because gas is KIND OF expensive they need to sell their car that gets 25 mpg and get something that gets 35 mpg.

Yeah, I'll take the 30-40k car with slightly worse mpg for the same or less money as a Fit, or I'll take a Civic which gets better fuel economy for a few thousand less.

 

Im with mike410b civics are cheaper and get better gas mileage. Overpriced Fits = Fail

 

Thats why you can't go wrong when you buy a used fit that is in NEW condition just broken in with a measly 51k miles with your basic mod starter package for only 14500. If only there were deals like that in the real world i would jump all over it!

what's this I found

Dayum, Ryan...that was a smoooth muv,,,,you sure yur not a car salesman

 

Ugly color + 50k miles + more than a brand newbase would've cost me.

Yeah, no thanks≥

 

No a base will look fine in any color outside of BOM, and throw on a sport lip and spoiler and it will look better than an equivalent sport.

LOL @ Honda care.

Nice tax fraud.

Hating would require jealousy, I'm not at all jealous of you. You've simply proven yourself as a tool.

 

This is a fit forum, can't we all just get along and unite as a car club?

 

LOL and I'm glad I'm not you. Wasting company time on a car forum. GOOD JOB BRO. I WISH I COULD HAVE A MEDIOCRE JOB WHERE I SIT AROUND.

 

I have to man up and apologize to you mike, this all started cuz I thought you were someone else who had commented on my fs post so I thought you were out of line by quoting my fs post but I just saw my mistake when I checked my user cp and the screen name was different so I retract my post about you hating on my fit and I probably wouldn't have made any of the comments that followed if I had noticed that right away. But man to man its not okay that you keep attacking my character and means of paying the bills, if any of us were making 6 figures I don't think we would be driving fits lol

 

Hello All.
New member here, 1st post. You were talking about high prices on GD3's so I am her to say that I found a 07 storm silver, 5 speed sport for $8,100 up in Bellingham WA were I live. Clean, not rebuilt title, but it did have 102K.
Yes, seems high but it's a Honda right? Thats what I kept telling myself. The first owner was visiting his older parents in Cali and making the trips back and forth and that's where the miles came from.Then the second owner had a young adult (teenager) driving it and learned about high insurance rates.
So he sold it to me. But the weird thing was that he had it for sale for months with hardly any lookers. He had ads in the paper, craigs, and parked on a busy street and it was the year and mileage that was scaring the people off. I kept thinking "too good to be true?"
I paid him and now I am really enjoying the 5 speed and 36.5 miles to the gallon. Looking to break the 40mpg mark. I had it in for servicing as it needed new rotors and pads, new spark plugs after 100K and various fluids changed.
I put a hitch under on the back so I can mount and carry my mountain bike on the softride rack and enjoy reading all the comments and advice given her on FF.
I may even get carried away and mod my Fit! Thanks

 

Donscott.. I think you'll like it a lot... You say you might even modify it and you already have by installing the hitch for your bike carrier... Practical mods count for a lot in my opinion, more so than an impractical add on that just looks pretty or sounds good but not quite as good as a boost in performance... The 2007 is cool because it is the GD model that has a supercharger kit available from Kraft Werks and 102K is still fresh enough to mount one on according to Oscar Jackson who developed the kit... My 2007 is silver too and I have had it 5 years in just a few more weeks.... There are very few trolls here and a lot of helpful enthusiast that enjoy sharing info and feedback about what and how to do things that you may like or need to do to make your car better and keep it running... Welcome to the Fit Freak cult, there's not that many of us or we'd be a religion.

 

Hey Donscott, welcome aboard. Sounds like you got a good deal. And Texas Coyote knows his stuff, along with quite a few others here. Have fun, and mods will make it yours.

 

The used car market right now is pretty insane! From when I started looking to the time I decided on and purchased a car (about four months) it seemed like the market spiked . Everything that was once 6-7k became 9-10k and so on. Maybe it's just bad here, who knows...

Just bought an '07 AT Fit Sport with 64k miles on it for 12k last month. the previous owner maintained it very well. I can't say that it was a greatest deal, but as far as everything else that was available in the area, I'm very happy with my decision!

 

What part of town are you in? I've been seeing another TW Fit lately, I"m on the west side. Mine is BBP.

 

Thanks to the "Cash for Clunkers" program, a lot of perfectly good low-cost cars were scrapped completely. There are people losing their jobs and selling their newer cars - but now they have nothing to move into since all the beaters got smashed. It's a real problem. It's why a good used car will cost you a lot more $$ now. I'm going to drive my Fit until it dies, which might be another 200K or so...

Any Fit is a good deal, especially the GD3 kind. And around here, that's pretty low miles for a 5 year old car...About 20,000 miles lower than average mileage.

 

Mine is 3 years old this month and it's been a good econo>box for me and my family. @ 30 (I likez me AC) to 34mpg around town I really like it whoot-whoot!

 

Love ur plate!!

 

I just got my fit refinanced and the lady said it is worth $13,000.

8 months ago i was told it was worth $8500 by the same lady.

seems that gas sipping cars are really going up in value these days.

 

The Fit is still basically worth the same it's the value of our dollar that's going down. Bought groceries lately?
