Opinion on 2008 Honda Fit

Hi everybody, brand new here and looking to purchase an 08 Honda Fit.

I found one and was wondering if it's worth a look and possibly purchase.
It's an 08 Honda Fit Sport manual transmission with about 74k miles. Dealer is asking 13k otd. It's a certified pre-owned. Everything looks good from the carfax and from the pictures the car looks pretty clean. I'm asking because this purchase will be out of state and wanna make sure I'm getting a good deal.

I hope to purchase my Fit soon and be a part of this awesome community.

You should work down the price more. You could fight for $10-11k.. 13 is a bit steep for that used car with that amount of miles

Blue book it, my 08 GD goes for around 10K with 75K on it. Try Craigs list or let the dealer know he's full of ......

"OTD" price isn't particularly useful when evaluating deals, because it includes things like tax/tags, dealer add-ons, warranties, etc. What exactly is the purchase price of the car itself?

Are you doing a trade-in? Usually if the asking price is $13k you should be able to get it down to around $11k. Edmunds values a 2008 Honda Fit Sport manual certified listed at $11.5k (clean).
