Low mileage find.

I have found a 2013 Fit. It only has 7500 miles on it. It's a Sport, 5MT.
Papers say one owner. The dealer says the owner traded it in for a newer Fit. Of course, I'm delighted to have a Fit with such low mileage, but wonder if it was a Toad (the little vehicles you see being "towed" behind an RV)
If that is the case, is that a big deal?
Thanks.

I'd be shocked if you found that one in a million car that doesn't have any miles and doesn't have any problems.

But I'd be even more shocked to see one of those RVers towing an MT.

In ohio we had a bunch of low milage cars come in that had been previously flooded with nothing showing on carfax. Check under carpeting or behind pannels

If you had it looked over and it checked out, don't worry about it.

I bought a 2013 base with 5 MT and 4000 miles on it from a dealer in Jan 2014. They told me the car was on the lot for 4 months, cuz no one wants a stick anymore. That could be the case with your car. I hope you bought it.

Oh heck yeah, I bought it. Drove it home (400 miles). Got 40.3 miles per gallon...boom!! that's what I'm talking 'bout!!
I suspect that the whole issue with it being a manual was why it was still at the dealership...not too many drivers like or want a manual...
I've always liked a manual..Very responsive, lots of pep. I'm pleased as punch.

Talk about low mileage...

My wife and I purchased a 2013 Fit Sport new from the dealer in August '13. Just passed 4800 miles on her. Took delivery of the car with 17 miles on her.
