FS/FT: 2008 Honda Fit $8500

2008 Honda Fit
71,xxx Miles
5 Speed Manual
Base Model
Clean title/No Liens
Nighthawk Black Pearl
No accidents in my ownership or on Carfax
I took it to Bergstrom Honda in August (2013) and had all recalls performed.
I've never had a single mechanical issue with the car


The fuel economy this car puts out is ridiculous, I've only gotten less than the EPA ratings once and that was the last tank (January 2013, not recently), which was 99% city driving, in the cold/snow, a lot of time spent in drive thrus, etc. Here's my record of fuel economy:

The Fit (Honda Fit) | Fuelly

I bought the car in July of 2011 after having been a Fit nerd since before they were introduced in the states with the intention of modifying it lightly all while keeping it entirely daily-able. I've only modified this car with the highest quality parts I could get my hands on, the car is incredibly easy to drive and has not been compromised as everyday transport in every day.

Modifications:
Tein S-Tech springs
RS*R C&K axlebacks
OEM Sport Rear Lip and Rear Spoiler

Car was professionally aligned after the spring install, I have the receipt/spec sheet and will include it. I have no records of the oil changes, I have performed them myself using Mobil1 0W-20 every 3k miles or 5 months, whichever came first.

As it sits:

My apologies that the car was dirty in the pictures. For some reason I took pictures after a storm, rather than two days earlier after washing it.

Its a car that is easily made cool, its fun to drive out of the box, incredibly safe (crumple zones, ½ of the weight of the car must be air bags, etc.), roomier than any small car ever should be, and impossibly cheap to own (less to insure than my 1991 Civic Si was, with full coverage on Fit, liability on Civic).

Why am I looking to trade?

I don't need a car that makes sense, if I don't find anything that suits me perfectly, I'll keep the car, I have no issue doing so and would definitely not regret doing so.

What do I want?
