lol we prefer the term conch. The dealership I'm probably going to try to get it from is largo Honda.. I know they're pretty reasonable as far as asshole dealers go because my mom bought her civic from them a few years ago. They're sloagan is "no sharks" lol.

I'd avoid Miami. Lived there once. Bought a car there once. Too scammy. What about Naples or Fort Myers if Largo can't help? Use email to shop.

I'm definitely not limiting myself to Miami I just know that my mom never had any issues with them.. I've been looking online for a while trying to find a reasonable and I've waited this long so what's a little while longer...

i say do it bro. but dont buy one new. buy it used, you will save much more money that way. its a honda, miles are just numbers(for the most part)

when i was 18 i bought my first car

then:
96 camry v6 xle(stipped and modded)RIP
88 corrola 4 doors-rubber bumpers baby
95 accord-h22 swap
96 gsr integra
01 sentra-stock
97 civic ex-stock
finally my fit- pretty cool
08 yamaha r6-
just pick up last week-89 volvo 240 wagon free!(swapping either a small block 350 or ls1)

moral of the story. just do it, who cares. btw im 22. i do make payments on my bike and fit, but thats not that much. considering i know poeple paying that much for their yukon! heh. for me cars are a hobby, you get tired of one and you move on.

I saw that on there and knew it belonged to somene on here.. Even asked if anybody knew who's it was.. I don't understand the color, is it purple or blue? I've never seen it in person so I can't make a judgement on my own lol.

At the moment I think I'm going to wait til after income tax retrns so I can dish out a bigger down payment. Nothing done to the car other than springs and 09 rims?

TRUE OR FALSE - Ive heard that the materials used for the seats attract fibers and stuff like velcro.. and are very difficult to clean. Tell me about this.

I dealt with a few people here so I know some of them can vouch for me. As far as color, it is called Blackberry pearl. It changes color depending on sunlight and angle. YES the only thing done is the drop,09 stocks, Jazz emblem,tints, and rear wiper delete. I still have all the parts i am giving with the car. Also have all maintenance records from day one(1st owner) and everything I did have receipts.LMk if you are interested.

I am not sure about the velcro part, but as far as maintenance, they are easy to clean and I wet vac mine twice a month to maintain condition.

I am very interested, I just want to go talk to my bank and see what they say about getting a loan and such. I kind of wanted to wait til I got my tax return to put more down but I'll go talk to them to see what they say about it. One good thing is that you're only in hollywood so it wouldn't take TOO long to meet up with u somewhere. I'll let you know as soon as I talk to my bank. And I have no problem with a purple car lol Ive just never seen the color in person.
I was looking through the BBP thread and it seems pretty sweet.. GE8 wheels are nicer then the GD wheels IMO too.

^^^Thanks, btw let me know if you are definitely interested. The price is what I owe so I am not making profit out of the deal, just need somebody to take over payment. I am in S. FL so you can check it out for your self.

If you have long-haired cats, or eat lots of crumbly things while driving, the Fit is not the car for you. I vaccumed the front seats at a car wash last week, and was surprised at how good they looked afterward. They certainly aren't vinyl, but they aren't a maintenance nightmare either.

Buy now

I don't know how you could want something for years and not get it. Especially a lower priced vehicle which happens to perform/look great like the Fit.

16 - '96 Maxima...totaled (not my fault)
17 - '01 Acura TL..traded
19 - '03 Civic Hybrid..traded
21 - '05 Acura TL...traded (felt too big)
22 - '06 Civic...nice but boring
24 - '07 FIT (MY FAVORITE, gas tank too small)
26 - '10 Insight...good mpg...but still can't handle like my baby FIT

Next vehicle is definitely the Hybrid FIT...best btwn. both worlds. Please Honda, release it here in the states this fall too.

STOP waiting get it!
