Just got my second Honda Fit

I have been driving a first-generation, first-year Fit base model sold in the US. It's 19 years old with 215,000 miles. It was a base model that I bought from my Girlfriend in 2015. At the time, it needed a new AC compressor, and I wanted to replace the radio because it lacked an aux input, let alone Bluetooth. No cruise control and no power locks.. But it was a 5-speed manual, which I love. When I went to have the radio replaced at a real car audio place, the owner said all the electronics for the power locks are there, but Honda just did not provide the transmitter. For that, you need to go with the next trim level. He installed it. It's never been in an accident, but it's a bit beat up and has some rust. In the last 10 years, I had to replace the clutch, replace the compressor again, and, in the last year, most of the exhaust system. muffler, catalytic converter, and connecting pipes. But it's done, and it runs great. With a car, this is only, and with this many miles, you never know when the next shoe will drop, but I expect if I fix the rust, it will make it to 300,000 miles or maybe even more.

I have been hunting around for another Fit, which is the last generation and a higher trim, and found one that is a manual and in great condition. This is a rare find. It's a 2015 EX with 67,000 miles. It was not the cheapest, but it looks like a new car. So now I have two,
