Fit's gonna go!

Hey guys,

So sad actually. I've finally decided to trade in the Fit. My first car, my first baby. Paid around $23k to get her, only to back $9500 plus tax for her after 2 1/2 years. Worth it? Of course not but cars will just keep dropping in price. I decided that it's time to move on and to something more luxurious and more mature. It's been great modding the car but I think my time is up. I've moved on to a BMW 328i for those of you wondering. Although a part of me still doesn't want to leave the Fit. My trade in will come over the next 2 days. Pretty depressing putting the car back to stock too as I count the many hours put in to mod everything.

As I leave the Fit world, I have nothing but good things to say about the Fit and this forum. I have never occurred any problems with the car and still one of the smoothest rides I have ever driven. Still dirt cheap to fix and mod too. Great stylish looks still looks fabulous in my opinion. I would still recommend the car to anyone looking.

And finally the people on this forum. Great bunch of people and one of the most welcoming forums I've ever seen. Not much bashing and almost always helpful to answer questions. And for those who have never been to meets (although I've only had time to go to a few), you should go! Very nice people and great to talk to. I'll still be on to this forum here and there too and hopefully come out to meets too!


Fitfreak: Thank you!

good luck with your new Bimmer.
I drove a 2006 BWM 323i for 4 yrs and I trade in for a FIT.
simply gas is too much on the BMW
enjoy your ride, see you around

Don't feel too bad about losing 14.5K in 2 yrs on the Fit. I lost 30K+ in 3 yrs on my Lexus... if it makes you feel any better.

Enjoy the bimmer. There's a reason they're known as "the ultimate driving experience"

same here, I lost 28K in 4 yrs by owning a lousy 323i
your lost on the FIT is reasonable.

you should feel better.

I didn't really enjoy the bimmer.
"the ultimate driving experience" is kind of BS....

Thanks guys, I feel slightly better. Today was a great and sad day though. As I took everything over from my Fit to put in the new car, I couldn't help but sit in it and just take in the last bit of everything from the Fit. Great memories and great times. The new car definitely made the transition easier.

Enjoy the Fit guys!

enjoy your new ride, so are you going to MOD your BMW?
I mod mine 323i (except for the engine) and it was like a 335i
if you join the E90 forum, you will find a group of wonderful and helpful people there too, have fun.
post some pictures of your new car.
