Having crossed the 10-year ownership mark a few months ago, I thought I would compile my 10 year cost of ownership experience. And, get this, I DID ALL THE SERVICE AT THE DEALER. Yes, yes, I know, I'm a fool. Looking at the entire file now, I can see there are a few unnecessary transmission fluid changes, and so many air and pollen filters I could have done myself. :-) But I hope this gives those of you who DIY a warm, satisfied feeling inside. ;-)

We have a 2011 Fit Sport with about 80k miles. About $7,000 in maintenance.

Purchased used 2 years ago with 65,000 miles from original owner. She did about $5,000 in maintenance, mostly from dealer. Frankly, original owner performed excessive maintenance beyond the Honda schedule.

Additional maintenance in last 2 years included: broken front axle, 6 new tires, oil changes (DIY blower fan & resistor, air filters, spark plugs).

 

My 09 going into 12th year. It has been serviced by my dealer. Only about 50,000 miles. It only got one service beyond the usual once a year oil and filter. The brake and tranny fluids change as per manual. Front rotors and pads once .My only complaint is battery. I have replaced a few times. I have a parasitic draw I cannot find. I will have a dead battery after sitting for 3 or 4 days, especially in winter. Other than that NO repairs other than the self-inflicted.

Self inflicted Well. Wrong thread on a lugnut caused me to go to dealer to replace stud.. Worst was last week. I was at Honda for annual O nd F. They told me springs collapsed. Well over 2 Grand to replace. I took it to my friendly Dodge dealer for second opinion. Yup one of my Swifts had rusted and broke damaging the strut. Other strut not much better. So they replaced both along with axles which were damaged by running at different angle for 10 yrs. Cost me $2,200. Rather than buying extended wty I had set up a Fit expense savings account. There was plenty in there to pay repairs. Now |I have a nice ride.
I plan on keeping driving it.
