We are actually thinking about selling our 2008 Fit Base, so this might help us out a little. What is a fair price to sell it with 50K miles? 10-11K?

I personally love the car, but it's the wife's DD, and she regrets selling her 98 civic 2 door everyday. Nothing like having no car payments.

i'm new here. just picked up an 08 sport for 10990 from a small dealer. a bit higher mileage than i wanted (64k) but it's in pretty tip top shape. few paint nicks here and there but nothing bad.

i'm not through the first tank yet but i'm not quite down to half with over 200 miles on it. 3.48/gal here in KY.

I couldn't sell mine to a normal person without killing myself. I think NASA forums is the only place for me to sell it if the time ever comes. lol which i cant see that happening.

Got a really good price for mine.
Around here, and '08 almost certainly sells for more than an '09 with comparable miles.

How times have changed.
I bought my standard (base model) 08 automatic new for just a bit over $16,000 (tag, title and tax included - out the door price), three years ago this month.

Thanks Big Mike! Yeah, I think I got the deal of the decade! Every once in awhile I check Autotrader.com, where I saw mine, and still, none come close. I'm gonna have to take some pics of it and post them.
