Default WTB : Honda Fit

Anyone here know of any Honda Fits for sale? We are feeling around for a good deal on one, since I am getting tired of maintaining our old 1992 Camry...It runs well still, just getting tired of it, and also loving the Fit, and of course it's MPG. Any leads would be awesome. In addition, what do you guys think about this one on CL?

yah I talked to the guy, got a carfax, looks good. 1 minor accident that was just a door damaged that got replaced. We're likely to pick this up. So far, the best financing I can find is 4.75% for 4 years or 5% for 5 years. anyone know of a better financing deal?

Fit actually with the magic seats gives you a ton of space if needed to use the entire space behind the front seats, with that large hatch, is more practical for me. They are very close in mpg, I think the advertised Fit MPG numbers are a bit low, and it actually gets better mielage than the Civic...anyways this is a great deal too saw the car last night, it is immaculate, and we're probably taking it soon! I do agree that the Civic is also a great deal though!

5% for 5 years is also an awesome rate. especially for a used car.

Mini Cooper. Same gas mileage. Way better looking. Handles much better. One of the best resale values. Feels way better built.

Or

yaris. Better gas mileage. Similar "poor man transportation". Feels better to drive.


Fit drives like you are riding a 15 year old dog running thru mud. And has the acceleration of one too. The gas mileage doesn't make up for it's massive drawbacks that other vehicles easily compensate for and with similar money.

Mini : better looking is subjective, I personally think it's a chickmobile look.

Yaris : I like that too, but this Fit I am getting is a killer deal.

Yaris quality has been kinda spotty...kinda weird since Camry, arguably the most reliable car out there, same company....

resale on the Fit is also incredible.


and what can I say..I am a Honda guy
