I just purchased a 2008 fit with 25k miles on it 5 speed manual. I bought because i hear great things about reliability. It will be used as a commute car to work. Sooooo. How good is the powertrain in these cars? Is what i hear true?

 

190,000 miles of driving ours pretty hard and no serious failures. Been through some brakes, tires, one clutch, and a fuel pump.

Otherwise, just routine oil changes and valve adjustments.

How in the world did you find a 9 yo Fit with that low of mileage?

 

A Dealer had it. I knew if it looked in good shape, i should jump on it.

 

Nice find!

 

+1 indeed. i wonder if the dealer swapped the battery before the sale?

 

Battery was changed. Runs great. Really confident in these vtec engines. Ive done a lot of research on them.

sounds good, enjoy your new ride!

 

it does have some dings on it n scratches but 24000 miles. Pffffft no brainer. Is it hard to touch up paint a car?

 

Is it hard??? Nah ... but you WILL notice the touchups, though, it's just the way it is

 

most of it is on the plastic bumper not metal. What u use for plastic bumper

 

I've never had a scratch deep enough on any bumper to reveal the unpainted cover. It ain't gonna rust, so I don't bother touching up bumper covers. That's just me

 

Congratulations on the purchase!

 

Touch up paint for metal can also be used for plastic.

 

also for your nails too i suppose. not dat i know.
