Hi everybody,

So I just put a deposit down on a 2008 Fit LX with very low mileage on it (12K km). No I didn't forget a zero.. the previous owner was an elderly woman in her 80s who only a drove it to run errands etc. I want to mention that this is my first car ever and I am a little clueless when it comes to the different terminology.

I have 2 questions:

1) The salesman at another Honda dealer who was trying to make a sale on a different Fit told me that a car with such low mileage could have problems with it since it was probably not driven on the highway etc. He strongly advised against purchasing that car because he wanted to sell me a 2010 with 50K km on it. Is he right, or was this just a sales tactic to try to get me to buy his car? Since the car looks brand new and even smells new, is there something I should do to 'break it in"??

2) Since I am purchasing the FIT from a Honda dealer they offered an extended warranty on it. about 600$ for a year and 1000$ for 2 years. Do you thing that the Honda Plus warranty is worth it on this type of car?

Thank You so much!

What is the existing warranty on it? Is it 5 years / 100,000 miles?

I just bought a new 2015 Fit and got 8 year / 120,000 mile warranty for $2,000 from the Honda dealership. I wanted it covered and I had the funds to spend on it. But is it necessary?

I'm looking forward to reading other replies on this subject.
