I went to view a Honda Fit today in LA and found the letters RS on the right side of the back, opposite the left side where it says Fit

This car is a 2009 Honda Fit (not a Fit Sport) ...what on earth does the RS mean? Does it make the car more or less expensive?

Thanks

 

It means someone bought the emblem and glued it on the car. There is no "rs" model for the honda fit. Typically the RS in car lingo is an abbreviation for "rally sport"

If anything, you may infer that it is more likely that the prior owner was a car enthusiast. Then you might infer if he's a car enthusiast, whether this is to be taken as a good or bad thing. usually it's considered a negative. Despite the prior owner spending money to "upgrade" the car, usually modifications are considered a negative value.

 

The red rs badge is for the rs (road sailing)model sold in japan not in the us it's a nice little touch if that's your thing but doesn't add any value to the car kinda strange to put on a base model would maybe look thru the car to see if it was modded before and put back to stock badges give that away sometimes good luck

 

RS is like the sport trim in Japan (albeit, looks a little better than what we get).

Pics of the car, I wanna see how it looks.
