I'm shopping for a a used Fit. I currently have my eye on a 2007 Fit 5DR 5 Speed, Manual Transmission with approx 38,000 miles. What should I watch out for, ask the dealer, or be wary of, and what's a fair price?

Sorry if that's a LOT of categories! Essentially, in perusing this forum, I don't seem to see too many dire problems with the Fit. I'd just like to get an idea of the best deal from knowledgeable parties (all ya'll).

Thanks!

 

I dont think there is much to worry about on the Fit. There are little quirks some of us have, like the illusive dashboard rattle, but nothing all that major. That one has pretty low miles (compared to me ). I would just check the carfax to be sure nothing major has happened.

 

Thanks for mentioning the "dashboard rattle". I heard it right from the very first test drive in the car. I just ignored it at the time. But yesterday I was driving on a anything but smooth road and that dashboard rattle began to annoy me. So now I'm wondering where is it possibly come from and how can I get rid of it? The sound itself is more of a low pitched than squeaky sound.

 

I have that, and my little rubber flap below the e-brake broke off last winter when it got really cold. I am a bit past 20k on my 2008, and all I have done so is regular maintenance (change the oil, filters).
