Great feedback guys. I feel much better about the 2010 with navigation for $17k. While I don't need the navigation, I like it and feel it will add some value when time to resell. I also like the idea of the low mileage and the extended warranty.

I'm hopeful that I will keep this car for a long time even though my track record with cars suspects otherwise. My plan is to keep the car for five years or so, so the added warranty gives me peace of mind.

I'm still keeping my eyes open just in case, but feel that I'll be happy with this deal.

I'm selling my 2008 335i so this will be a lower payment and less worries regarding out-of-warranty issues.

To give you some perspective I purchased the following...

-2011 Honda Fit Sport
-Automatic Transmission
-no navigation
-wheel locks
-body side moldings
-7 year/75,000 mile warranty
-200 miles on the odo after delivery
from sister dealership in Houston

Total bottom line with all additional charges: $18,000

Seems like a good deal. Is that including tax or not including tax?

So basically I would be paying $1,000 + $1495 (tax @ 8.25% in NV) less for 17,000 miles more, but with navigation. It becomes a question of whether saving $2500 plus getting navigation is worth buying a car with 17k miles on it.

uh navigation is about a $1,500 option. Plus it gives you stability control (not a big seller in the desert). I'd say $4,000 is worth it. Unless someone died in there.

Sup John. The car world is small indeed. Life's nevr been better and am selling my 335i to get another Fit and simplify life. Cars are becoming less important in my life. The time attack s2000 is long gone and miss it and the track sometimes. How's everything for you?

Everythings been good crazy, but good. My wife and I had a baby after I got rid of the S and sold all my parts. Then I bought a X, then traded it for a 2010 SI Sedan and for some reason I just could not get into the SI I liked the look and it cornered good, but going from an S and Ego I just couldn't stand it.

Now I got a fit and I like it a lot it does what its supposed to do and with a couple mode and a drop it looks good too, at least to me...lol

As far as the family everyone is great! My son was born with TOF a type of congenital heart disease and was in the hospital for a bit after he was born and then he had open heart surgery at 3.5 mths old. It was hard and it really put life into perspective, cars are not much of a priority, but its still a passion of mine.

If your ever out in the OC hit me up and we can catch up.

Oh ya didn't you have a TW Fit before? I thought you did back when you had you white S.

John...glad to hear all is well and that your son is doing better. It'll only make him and your family stronger.

I'll be down in the OC next weekend to pick the Fit up, but I'm still working on details of when and what time. I'll keep you posted, but it may be a really quick turnaround of coming home.

Post pics of your Fit. And yes, I had an 07 TW Fit back when I had the white S2000.

Sounds good, I too am going out of town. I am leaving on Tues and not coming home until the 14 of July. I will be in LV shortly after hanging with freinds and babysitting their boys while they attend a concert and go out to dinner. I will be in the Fit and have my son and Wifey, our other two will be with their dad that weekend, but maybe we could meet up for a minute or two when we are out there. At worst you could come by the pool at the hotel and kick it

Whoa. Where was this? I can't find a USED 2009 Fit Sport in Houston right now for less than $18,000.
