Post Helping my daughter choose a 2016 CVT EX Fit is 17.4k too high?

Hey long time here in the ff trenches.
But have only owned GD3's.
Looked at a new 2016 EX with 50 miles on it 17,438.00 @ .09%.


What is the price that you paid?


Def. waiting till after Christmas and b4 1/17 to buy.

What would you have bought as far as extras, if you did it again? Rubber floor mats, cargo cover, ect., warranties.

I like the Honda durability and low cost to drive. So this will be the 7th honda in our fleet, me being the main honda horder ha ha. .

Thanks for any and all input

Big Mike

Wow, great looking car in red.

California Honda dealers will barely budge on price. Sleep well with the fact that you're getting a good car that will save you money in the long run.

Looks good. I paid 17000 for a 2015 with 13100 miles and small chip in hood a few months ago in California. It does have leather and lots of dealer options but looking back I should have taken more time and bought brand new.

Within the last 2 years Honda has dropped 6 spots on the Consumers Report 2016-2017 Car Reliability rating. You might want to check your numbers and question whether Honda is as durable as they once were.

The 2017 has almost no changes compared to the 2016, as I understand.

If you live in a snowy area you need really good floor mats. I also have a separate set of winter tires. They make a huge difference in the snow, ice and slush.

min is red too, best color on Honda fit I think, you might find a better deal with used low mileage, not long time ago, I found 2015 EX with only 5000 offered for 15000.
