New 2008 Fit Owner *squeals*
Happy to say I bought my '08 black base Fit on Wednesday night. I absolutely love it and do not want to stop driving it. Unfortunately, I have to work. I am actually regretting that I live so close to work right now, wishing I could drive it farther.
I bought it in Oakland, California. I live about an hour away from there. They offered me $13,900 for the car plus tax/license/destination, which came out to $15900ish. Traded in my piece of **** '94 Civic for $100 (yes, it was that bad, I'll post pics) = $15,800. The financing guy tried to sell me on extended warranty which I declined. He did sell me on a nicely priced Low Jack and the GAP coverage and only because he dropped my interest rate to 4.74%. Ultimately, I am paying less for everything than I would be if I just got the car with the 4.99% interest rate. From the massive amount of research I did I think I got a great deal, especially since a Fit in the Bay Area is hard to come by at a good price, much less under invoice.
I've been a member of fitfreak for a while now, just lurking. I went from wanting a Fit a while back to wanting a Civic, then to a Smart Fortwo, then to a Yaris 2dr and now back to the Fit. I bought it and have no regrets. I really don't care for the way the '09 looks, preferring the '08.
First things: tint my windows as dark as possible, some sort of better security system and an in-dash GPS.
Secondary: some performance mods. There is so much discussion on what to do that I am still deciding. I imagine I will just do the standard I/H/E.
Tertiary: body kit?
Thanks and sorry this is so long,
JP

Welcome to the forum and glad you love your Fit. I know the feeling - I live just a 10 minute drive from work and there are mornings where I would just like to keep driving!
