New Fit owner in Kelowna, BC

Fit Sport MT, just got it yesterday after trading in my 1999 CRV (299,420 km), needless to save the trade in value was next to nothing. But me and the dogs are happy with the new ride.

Oh, what color did you get? I live in Sudbury and have travelled down south (Barrie/Newmarket area) twice but have not seen another '09 Fit on the road yet! I have seen every color via visits to 2 Honda dealeships, minus the Blackberry Pearl. I really want to see that one in person since I hear the color is very unique, as per my Orange Revolution.

Congrats on the new car! I'm sure you'll get years of enjoyment out of it. This forum is a great place to post any questions you may have....

it is storm silver, there are actually a few Fits in town. While we were writing up the deal two other couples, who had been previously looking at the only Sport model available, came in to buy it. Snooze you lose I guess. Luckily with cell phone pictures you cant see the dog slobber.

Nice! Really the car looks great in EVERY color. I'm a bit anxious to see another one around town. My dealer told me that 4 of the 7 coming into Sudbury in the first shipment (late September) were sold, so why would there have been 5 sitting on the lot last week? Doesn't make sense. Anyhow, for now I'm flying solo out here with my GR8 Pumpkin...

Congrats on the new fit I wish i had my fit there for a good mountain trip. It should have more than enough power for the hills and it'll take those curves like a slot car to! enjoy it as much as the puppies seem to do
good choice, I have a Storm Silver to!

yeah I got the PST rebate of $1000.

My CRV had 299,420 km, the airbag light was on ($1000 for new bags), check engine light was on (sticky injectors), dings and dents and needed new brakes. I checked another Honda dealership (and a Mazda dealership) and they didnt even want it so when the local dealership offered $1000 I took it.

I might have got more if I sold it privately but to get rid of the warning lights & fix the brakes would of been $2-3,000. It was a good vehicle but I rode it hard and put it away wet one too many times.

Im telling myself I take better care of the Fit - time will tell.
