Good deal?

Hello, sold my 06 330i recently due to high cost of maintaining it. It needed premium fuel, low gas mileage and costly parts.
Anyways, I'm looking to buy certified fit and found this dealer who has 2011 fit sport A/T with Navigation, white/grey, 16k miles for $15,980. I think they might agree for a deal at $15,250 to $15,350. What do you think about it? Is it a good price?

Thanks!

IMO, used car prices depends on what you will be actually doing with the car, and how long you'll keep it for.

But for the price sake, $16,000 isn't a bad price I suppose. How's the condition of the car? It is Honda certified? or different dealer certified?

Keep in mind that 2013 sport w/o Navi will cost you only 3k more.

Keep track of the carfax and see what the owner/s have been doing.

Offer them $15,000 OTD and walk out.

It's a Honda certified used car and is is good condition. No issues reported in carfax and was put up for sale almost month ago. Considering they claim to be a volume dealer, month for a car on their lot seems very long?

Yeah a month is very long time. Even I'd pay extra $$ for new one.
If you really want that particular car, hit them up with $14,500 and walk out.

good luck!

^^^^ Negative. Don't do it. Research the raccoon problems, you will be sorry if you don't.


Regards.

Shut up with the stupid raccoon posts.

OP, its not the worst price I've seen on a used Fit. There aren't much in the way of good deals to be had though.

Second this. I looked at used and quickly decided that the depreciation curve on this model meant that it was time to buy an actual "new" car. After running numbers, it seemed most economical to buy one new and run it until it don't run no more. (Did that once before--1992 Previa minivan finally gave up the ghost at 360,000 miles. Hope the Fit does as well.)

Depreciation is one of the reason I was going to get slightly used car (<25k miles).

well, low $15K for a $19K (?) car isn't too bad, i dont think.
especially 16K miles in about one year's time probably means mostly highway miles anyway.

take a good look at the car, carfax, talk to your wifey... make the call i guess.
