Purchased my 1st FIT!!! Good deal?!
I've researching and have been looking for a Fit for a long time now. I really wanted a newer 2012 Fit
I just purchased a 2009 Red Fit Sport (automatic) with 11,700 miles...very low miles for that year, so I didn't want to pass it up.
Outside is clean, runs great, one owner, got the car fax, etc...
Got it for $14,000...Did I get a good deal on it???

I always figure it is a good deal if I got the car I wanted and did not spend more then I had to get it. Seems like a good price since many low mileage Fits are not much below the price of a new one. Good luck with your purchase and welcome to the forum.

I don't know if this link will work. It looks like you got it for about $1000 under retail and a little over the trade in value. Your market area can affect the purchase or trade in values.

Although the car has low miles, it's a 4 year old car and if the previous owner did maintenance based on miles it may have been short changed on maintenance. If a car isn't driven enough in a year to require an oil change by the maintenance minder the oil change and associated maintenance should done on a yearly basis.
The car has averaged less than 3,000 miles yearly. I would be interested on how that mileage was added, many 2-3 mile runs or a few 25-50 miles runs. A few long
runs is better for the can than daily short runs, on short runs the car doesn't get fully warmed up.

Nice...I wanted a 2012 or 2013, but couldnt pass up the deal on my 09
Am i the only one to think these cars have the slowest depreciation or what? I made 2 payments on my 12' Fit already and my balance (put zero down) by the way, is in level with KBB values. Trippy, me likey.
We can thank the low depreciation to limited supply, reliability and the great write ups by the consumer magazines. All the reasons I brought my Fit besides the description of fun to drive.
