price of a pre-owned fit

picking up a used fit tomorrow... what do you guys think a fair price is for a used 09 sport, AT (), with 10k miles in like new condition? i've been dealing with online salesman and got the price down to 13.5K plus tax/fees. fair price? i've looked it up online and seems like a great deal but i want the communities' $.02. this is being sold at a local dealer. car will come with the remaining factory warranty plus 2yr/100k mi PT warranty PLUS FREE CAR WASH FOR LIFE!!! TIA.

Seems like an O.K. price. You will be paying about $3,500 less than new and you will be losing 10k miles of usage. The only thing that I question is the "fees". What are they? You'll probably be glad you got the AT if you are going to do any city driving. If you want to play boy racer, drop it into the "S" mode and use the paddles. Be SURE and verify the history of the vehicle using the VIN.

Most of the fits you find that you think are a good deal have some sort of accident damage. If you want a clean one your gonna pay.

car is pretty clean... no accidents that i can tell. can't even find a single scratch on the car. carfax came back clean... an older woman owned the car but traded it in for an infinity. here is the car listing.

fees = tax ($1200), vehicle transfer of ownership fee ($15) and doc fee ($55)

this is going to be my commuter car so AT isn't so bad. my other car is manual which i will use for "play"

Looks good. I think I would be ok with that price. Has a couple extras too. The center armrest is nice.

yeah, i noticed that. it also has the cargo cover in the rear so you can't see inside the trunk from the outside. i think that's optional? it wasn't included on the new fits i was looking at.

There's a black one on eBay with 16000 miles at a dealer In Arizona for 12900

13500 is not a bad price though . I bought a 2009 with navigation for 11900 and it's mint rebuilt title.
Luv the car

ok, got a dilemma. another dealer i visited just called. they are offering a brand new 2010 fit for $304 per month. i priced out the used one i was getting and the lowest rate i can find to finance the car for 60 months is 3.49% which makes the payments to be $283/mo.

would you guys pay $304 for a new or $283 for a used with 10k miles? is the new car smell worth $21 more month for 5yrs?

How much For a 2011?
You should be able to get a better deal on the 09
And dealers are blowing out the 2010 offering rebates and low financing
The 09 and 10 are the exact same car , depreciation per year is 15%
so the 2010 could be a better deal

Those must be 2011, alabaster silver is a 2011 color.
2011 has vsa which only came on navigation models in 09 and 10.
Plus u get floor mats too I think.
I own an 09 with navigation.

wow, sounds like you got a great deal. actually, the silver was a polished metal silver? not sure of the exact name of the ones available in the 10 models. i got the names above from the honda website.

Can't speak for your area, but I got a new 2010 Sport Automatic for about $1000 more than this. Dealers around here are motivated to move the 2010's because the 2011 has more standard features. You could probably get a good deal
