Just Got My First Car… A 2013 Fit with Only 19k Miles… Am I Lucky or What?

I had to share this with someone… I just bought a 2013 Fit with only 19k miles for 11k. Couldn’t pass it up. Been driving around town with the biggest smile on my face. Feels like I joined a secret club or something.

Not sure where you are but where I live, that price is crazy good. Happy for you. Especially with those miles on a second-gen… that’s my favourite model. I’ve been searching for one too. Actually driving 2 hours to check one out with my friend. Wish me luck.

@Dorian
I drove 6 hours round trip to get mine and don’t regret it one bit. Hope you find a good one.

@Dorian
Hope you get a good deal.

How does a 2013 only have 11k miles? That’s wild. Nice find.

Probably belonged to a grandma who only drove to church, the store, and the pharmacy.

Yep, that’s exactly what happened.

@Fable
I’d be a little cautious about a car that was mostly driven short distances for years. That kind of driving isn’t great for a car. Engines need to warm up and stay at temp, not just go on short trips and shut off constantly. But the Fit is solid, so you’ll probably get plenty of miles out of it.

That’s actually the best kind of car to buy. I knew my Fit was perfect when I got in and saw all the radio presets were classical music and church stations.

Mine’s a 2013 too… almost at 200k miles now.

I sold my 2009 at 170k… and that was years ago. My 2017 is at 75k now. Taking it a bit easier on this one.

Probably an older owner who barely drove it.

Did it sit unused for a long time? If so, I’d flush the coolant and brake fluid just to be safe.

Good call. That’s the first thing I’m doing.

Check all the fluids. Rubber seals and hoses can wear out even if a car hasn’t been driven much.

That’s an insane deal. Congrats.

That’s awesome. Enjoy it.

You got a bargain… and in a great colour too. Is it a manual?

No, it’s automatic.

That mileage is unreal. Basically a brand-new car.
