Paid 17,500 for my Honda Fit Sport with stick shift. No Navi.


It was less than 21k out the door with gap.

After a little cluster faux at the dealers, they had sold me a certified that turned out to have been in a pretty good bang up, they sold me a '13 Sport, 2 miles on it, with weather mats and rear appliqué, for $17001 including fees. They're also gonna tint the windows today. I guess they felt real bad about the previous screw up.

$17K for a brand new sport OTD is really good! When we bought our old '08 Sport A/T back in April of '08 I think we paid $16,700 or so with the applique and clear bra. Since new car prices just keep jumping and jumping, I haven't found a 2013 (or 2012) for that matter for under $18K. Glad it all worked out for you in the end!

I just bought a 2008 56K excellent (brand new brakes and battery), one female owner, well maintained, manual Fit for US$10,900 plus taxes (6.5%) plus title and $75 dealer fee. Did I pay too much? Midwest USA. The dealer said they don't negotiate. Should I have tried to negotiate?

My independent mechanic (I've known for over 20 years) checked it out and said it needs a brake fluid flush and everything else is fine (no rust).

You did not overpay and you cannot negotiate on the prices of used fits, they sell FAR to easily and quickly. I work for a dealership and we had 1 fit with dents all over the drivers side, '08 sport auto. asking 12.5k. Not only did we get it, the car sold at 9am on the first saturday it was online, and we has 3 more people come in to try and buy it that same day. thats my 2 cents.

Thank so much for your feedback.

(BTW, I was stereotyping female drivers and more gentle drivers, but that may not have been the case.)

I trust the Toyota dealership where we bought the fit - serviced our cars for 13 years there and bought our last car a '99 camry at 130K, then put on another 120K with no problem. We had been looking at Corollas because my first car was an '89 Corolla. But after test driving a few '08 and '10 corollas, we needed a bigger cab and we liked the Fit radio sound. Also even though its just a few thousand more the newer fits are beyond our budget right now.

Thanks everyone for maintaining this forum. I can see myself turning into a motorhead with the Fit.

I am brand new to the Honda fit and just bought mine a week ago yesterday and they delivered it to my house. I bought it brand new with only 88 miles on it! First Brand new car I have ever owned and am loving it very much. It is a 2013 Honda Fit Base w/ 5 speed manual transmission and now I have over 300 miles on it, I'm almost through the break in period I believe. I already bought some side window visors for it too.


I bought it for $16,215, with a trade in of a 2002 Chevy Cavalier that had seen better days and got $1,000.00 trade in with it even with the rust holes in it and it had 97,800 miles on it that were well earned I would say.


Forgot to add it is Crystal Pearl Black which was the only color I liked.

I got my new 2013 Fit a week ago. I had ordered a Yaris, wanting to stay Toyota. The Yaris was to be here in 2 weeks from the port. I sold my car but was able to drive it a few more weeks, as a friend purchased it. However, it became obvious the Yaris was not going to appear sooner than 5-6 weeks. I re-considered the Fit. I wanted a non white standard and was able to buy one off the lot! Other than mileage and a 60 mile drive to the dealer, I favor it over the Yaris. I'm loving the drive!

I paid 17800 for a Fit Sport. It was within 50 bucks of the sport Yaris, and I qualified for the great end of year interest.

There were no deals on the Yaris, because they really don't market them much in the US. The Yaris was also around $100 a year more to insure. I feel like I got a very good deal on the Fit. Best part is -it's in my driveway!

Sounds right on target for a non CPO car according to KBB. Price sounds right to me. I would say go for it, and move quickly.

That being said, you might be able to finance a new one for cheaper due to better financing rates on the new 13's

make sure you do your research!

thank you for the reply!
i didnt end up getting the car
we had an agreement on the phone for 16500 out the door, i confirmed several times. and called again this morning to make sure i can drive the car out today. had the check ready, drove all the way to Scottsdale, and they changed the price on me.
they wanted 17500 now, i love the orange color, but i was so pissed that they dont keep their words and try to trick their costumers.

New Owner on deck as of today

I got an 09 Silver Sport M/T for 11K with 33,000km (20505mi) plus a practically new set of winter Blizzaks included. Would be a flawless car if not for a small dent on the quarter panel.


IS this car as much fun to drive as it has been all day?

Congrats May! And great deal, Bucky! I think the real happiness is in how we choose to use the cars in our lives. Always happier to compare down. And, so, I save $20 a month over what the Yaris would have cost plus $100 less in insurance. But, I'll be happiest on road trips. Call me the happy camper!
