New Fit Wannabe

Hi, I just joined, I am in the Atlanta area. I am looking for a used fit that's less than $11k. Hopefully I will find one! I just went to go look at one yesterday and it was already sold by the time I got there.
I am wanting to get a sport with manual transmission.

If anyone is aware of someone selling a Fit Sport in Georgia < $11k that's got a MT, I'd love to look at it.
I've got a junk 90 Mazda Protege without a rear window, cracked front windshield (due to hail), AT is not wanting to shift into 3rd most of the time, and paint is falling off everywhere.
Time for an upgrade!

I can't help you out. I just want to know how to create my own thread. I need some fit advice like yourself. Cheers

Thanks for the links! I will call about the MT one you posted later this evening.
The second one is a REBUILT, and I'd much rather have MT. I'm a bit leary of any rebuilt cars as I haven't purchased one before.

Called the first link you provided. It is a lady who picks up who is somewhat hard to understand due to an accent. Because of that and it being in another state I think it could be a big hassle. The price is fairly low, $130 higher than "fair" value on kbb, either a killer deal or somethings wrong with it. I guess I should really find out more about it before I dismiss it.

Thanks for the link! I am still looking, I just finished a refinance with the house and couldn't spend any money while that was going on.
I would like to try and find a stock Fit Sport.

monster- if you're wanting to spend $11K on a fit, spend a tad more and get the current gen sport in MT for sure.

A new 2013 Fit Sport MT is $18K, that's a bit more than a tad. That is is 63% more than $11K. I only have $11K that I can spend, so I am limited on what I can purchase. If I could afford a new Fit, trust me, I would have purchased one months ago.
I would really like to spend right around $9,500-$10,000 for a 2008 Honda Fit Sport MT with ~65k miles.
