Talking New Fit Owner

Had a BPM 2008 Sport MT bought new and really enjoyed it the short time I had it and was my favorite drivers car with the possible exception of my 87 MR2 MT

Picking up a black 2008 Sport MT w/ 246k later today, a one owner Atlanta car that is very clean inside and out for age and mileage with no rust. Has battery issues so will be also picking up a Group 51 Costco battery today.

Already have a long wish list of Rock Auto parts as I sort through the usual suspects. Also will be getting a bolt on trailer hitch and plug and play wiring harness from e-trailer for expected ATL to Northern MI to SD trips.

Looking forward to be once again "Pitching a Fit"

08 base 5MT just rolled over to 208k yesterday. no problems, but it definitely looks its age.

i don't believe it was ever garaged since new.

both bumpers have lost some of their plastic clips, and are somewhat saggy, paint is dull, seats smell like farts, no ac, some pixels in radio screen are dead, etc. and i just backed into a tree yesterday and broke one of my tail lights

hoping to get 350k or more out of it.

Mine has 207,000+ miles on it, just bought it a few weeks ago and so far it's running surprisingly well.
Just wish that I could find some OEM hubcaps that don't cost an arm and a leg to put on the thing.
Would also like to chat with some other high mileage fit owners to learn more about keeping it running, trying to get 300,000 out of mine!
I don't know the service history of this car so I'm not sure where to start to make sure everything's up to date and okay with it.

2004 Jazz 1.3. 158k km / 100k miles.

I'm not the original owner but it came with a stuck EGR valve, limp mode due to cut TPS reference wire, noisy input shaft bearing, and non-functional rear defogger. To be honest that's more issues than I'd expect for a car with this mileage, but then it wouldn't cost what it did if if it was flawless, so I'm not complaining

2007 Fit Sport with 222,000+ miles. I was the original owner. Sold it to friend about 3 years ago with 216,000 miles on it. They didn't drive it much so I bought it back. Plan on continuing to rack up the miles. The only major things replaced have been the alternator and the A/C pulley and solenoid. All other things have been normal wear and tear. I am looking at replacing the hoses, belt, and trying to decide on water pump and idler pulley. Rear hatch handle needs replace and already have it ready to put in.

Sitting at 197,700 miles with ours now. Looking forward to breaking the 200k mile barrier. Just not piling on the miles like we used to with it.

I had sold mine because I changed jobs and had a shorter commute. I bought a Chevy Suburban. I changed jobs again and back to a longer commute and gas was eating me up. I was lucky enough to buy it back. I will be racking up the miles again on it. Shooting for 300k.

08 Sport

Have 187k mi on my TWB Sport. Bought it last year and has a fairly comprehensive service history between the POs and carfax.

Aside from fluids/brakes it has had:
-Driver window switch replaced 2x under recall
-AC compressor
-Alternator
-2 coil packs
-idler pulley
-1 wheel bearing

Engine mounts are shot, original clutch is just sarting to slip, a bearing in trans makes some noise, and the suspension is due for a refresh. Aside from what you'd expect for a 13 year old car that has lived in the salt belt it is holding up great. Doesn't burn or leak anything and is an awesome commuter.

I dropped mine off at the shop last night to get and oil change and cooling system flushed. Also have them check hoses since I never had any replace before I sold it. The only other things I have done was replace the pulley and clutch on the AC. Compressor was still good and going strong. Did a valve adjustment at 110k. Probably due again. Looking forward to doing some more mods since I have a backup vehicle now.

My 07 Fit
my ex has an orange 09 fit 5 spd sport,w 202k, it hasn't needed much more than maintenance. Except tie rod ends and stabilizer links, right now, I gotta do pads and rotors again, because the left caliper was draggin, and the rotor and pads are smoked, again..this is the second time in a year, I thought it was just the caliper last time, but I guess I was wrong. So I gotta fix that for her, otherwise it's an excellent little car , we both love it. You should go on Facebook marketplace, and get rims for yours. I would anyways
