Hey everyone! Give you guys a background on my situation. I currently own a 97 civic 4 door, nothing special DD. I also have a s2000 which WAS my weekend/nice day car until my civic rear brake line under the car rusted out. Sucks for me, so now im driving my s2000 which is very loud and "not as comfortable as the civic" I would say. So I plan on replacing the brake lines then selling the civic before another rust issuse pops up like another brake line or fuel line. So ive been eyeing the fits and wanting a gd3 model. Ive been through 4 integras and 2 rsx so I want something less attractive to theives and something newer. I really love the mpg I get on my civic and the4 doors. Out of 9 cars I had, the civic was my first 4 door and I like the extra room. So I looking at gd3s on craigslist and my I wana stay between 3000-4000 bucks. I found one I really like, orange and its a sport model 5sp manual. But its got some miles. 180k and came from cali not too long ago. Dealer does the maintenance and have service records of the things they have done. So you guys think its ok? Asking price is 3800 but hope I could get it a bit lower. Im hoping to join the fit club soon

Man no love here :(

Just the new guy with a 2015 Fit. Every generation Fit has a fan base because they're all great cars with a mini-cult following. Apply normal used car logic
To make sure you get a car that's been maintained and has a clean title...and go for it!

That's a good price although the miles are highish. If it came from Cali the whole undercarriage probably looks like you could eat off it. I'm from Canada so I know all too well about rust.. GD3 was the best I've tried although I haven't driven on of the new generation Fits. Dunno if I'd be a fan of the 6 speed since it still only has the same gear ration at the top.

Yesterday someone put a deposit on my civic so lets just say its pretty much sold as of now. Im officially in the market for a fit now. The one I wanted to check out never responded back so im guessing its sold. Kinda hard to find one in my price range but I guess I can wait for now. Theres a 09 base manual for 3800 and about 179xxx. I wished it was a sport at least but might pick that up.

A nice Fit for a good deal will pass your way for sure, keep looking. Welcome

Alright! Just picked up a gd3 08 black base model for $2450 with 180k! All vins match and runs prefect! 1 owner. I love it! Time to stop modding the s2000 and start with the fit!
