I went to the store for a gallon of milk...

Jackalope · 03-04-2007, 11:41 AM

...and came back with an 07 Honda FIT Sport. I'll get some pics when I find my camera.

I love this car. I traded in the S on it. It's Silver Storm Metallic, auto with manumatic.

there's tons of room, and I actually get gas mileage now. not only that, but my payments are low enough now that I can get my motorcycle. woot!

El_Presidente_Pufferfish · 03-04-2007, 12:03 PM

Fit is go!

i love fits

Coleman · 03-04-2007, 01:07 PM

Corolla S: 32/41 mpghwy

Fit: 33/38 mpg hwy

looks like to me you get about the same gas mileage... was there something wrong with the Corolla?

Jackalope · 03-04-2007, 01:22 PM

I can't stand em. my fiance's sister has one.

aside from that, The toyo dealership wouldn't give me anything for my trade-in, and this car is alot less expensive.

also I've got kind of a loyalty to honda

Mr. Ali · 03-04-2007, 02:00 PM

honda civic - 30/40mpg

i love my civic, i too use to have a toyota corolla but this honda is so much better.

Coleman · 03-04-2007, 02:41 PM

I like Honda's better than toyota's as well.

sims · 03-04-2007, 04:40 PM

Nothin' wrong with a Honda

Taking a step from and S2000 to almost anything is going to suck, let alone to a lifeless corolla :P

ThatHideousStrength · 03-04-2007, 05:33 PM

My friend has a S2000.

Its a fucking awesome car.

How much was the FIT? My dad was gonna get one but he bought a Civic instead.

trancosrt · 03-04-2007, 07:17 PM

Yuck... J/K

Welcome to the compact hatch world. Congrats man!
I'm on the other side of the fence rocking a 3D Toyota Yaris, but the Fit was a reasonable option when looking around.

Miller · 03-04-2007, 09:12 PM

i demand pictures, i have no idea what you bought and i'm to lazy to look it up!!!

mistawiskas · 03-04-2007, 09:28 PM

Jackalope · 03-04-2007, 11:45 PM

I bought my fit as "new" used, from my friend who is a salesman.

The dealership gave me 12K for my s2000, which is about 3 grand more than a toyo or nissan dealership gave me. The Fit itself was 15,400 for at AT sport with 9K miles. I also bought the HondaCare extended warranty which is coverage up to 102K miles. ( I drive alot, so I figure it's a pretty good idea). I think total after TT&L, warranty, and finance charges was $17K which is what people are paying for them brand new.

so I got a great deal, and a great car. btw, I think I may have found my bike. a friend is selling an 02 Honda 929RR I'm going to look at tomorrow

gB dAvId x · 03-05-2007, 08:04 PM

It looks like a squeezed mini van

Scooby · 03-05-2007, 08:36 PM

so is this sport model sporty at all?

One of the reasons I didn't buy it (The Yaris In my eyes is better looking). However, it is still a nice lil' car!

Cr@cKpiPe tE@sEr noOb! · 03-05-2007, 11:32 PM

I walk by one of them in the morning on my way to class. Someone parks theirs in the same spot every day. They look alot better in person. For a small car it looks plenty spacious inisde. I currently drive a Camry but I started out with an Acura so I'm okay with either company. But if I had a Honda, I'd most likely have the Element.

What year was the s2000? I thought they had a higher resale value than that.

Hubcap · 03-07-2007, 05:02 PM

pics?

Jackalope · 03-07-2007, 05:12 PM

none yet. My s2k was an 01, but it had 99K miles. 12K is what they are going for market value or whatever. I had tried to sell it on my own, but it wasn't working out, so I got the best deal I could.

mistawiskas · 03-10-2007, 09:55 AM

Congrats on the deal. Not a bad one at all.
