Avoid dealer hassle, nonsensical add-ons and ridiculous fees. 

Depending on the state in which you are resident, you may also benefit from much lower sales tax by purchasing a vehicle from a private seller. When I purchased this vehicle last year (as a resident of Illinois) from a private seller, I paid only $90 in sales tax. Please, check your Secretary of State's office for further details.

I am a private owner who wants to provide you a simple, honest and forthright purchasing experience. I promise - that unlike most other internet vehicle sellers (particularly dealers) - I am very thorough and straightforward. Nevertheless, if you have any questions or concerns, I will do my very best to oblige promptly and personally. 

This is a great car. It will be missed for its stellar economy, massive utility, solid reliability and attractiveness. However, I have purchased a Toyota/Scion xA and no longer need the Fit.

This is the "Sport" model with aerodynamic body parts, aluminum wheels, fog lights, high end (i.e., loud and clear) stereo system and auxiliary audio port.

Clutch is in optimal operational condition, and all brakes have a large amount of life in friction materials.

Shocks/struts and springs are in excellent condition.

Car accelerates and brakes straight and true.  

Accessory drive belt in excellent condition.

Maintenance free timing chain, no belt, so no worries.

No mechanical fluid leaks or motor oil burn.

No leaks when run through automatic car wash or blasted with hose. 

The car does not include a paper owner's manual. The previous owner could not locate it when I purchased the car. I do, however, have the PDF version for those who are interested.

2 original and fully operational keys/key fobs included.

I have not allowed any smoking or pets in the car; but I cannot vouch for previous owners. The interior is, notwithstanding, in excellent condition considering the mileage/age. Photos speak for themselves.

The cargo capacity is enormous. Honda engineers nailed this aspect in spades with seating that converts to every angle and position imaginable, affording outstanding cargo/troop hauling capability. The rear seat backs recline; and even the front seat backs recline all the way down to the rear seat bottoms, resulting in an extended lounge that would rival that in a Maybach. Feel free to google it. It's really quite astonishing. I could fit an adult-sized bicycle behind the front seats just by lifting up the seat bottoms of the rear seats.

Maintenance/service records included only for the duration of my own ownership. Please, see bullet points below. I haven't any tangible evidence of prior owner maintenance/service other than the car's outstanding mechanical condition. It is quite clear that this car was well maintained and is prepared for its run to a half-million miles or more.

All required maintenance/service just recently performed. All bases have been covered, all tees crossed and all eyes dotted. Absolutely no maintenance/service action will be required by the purchaser. Details with odometer readings and dates are available upon request and will be included with sale. Here is a summary with some additional information thrown in for good measure:
  

-- 37 MPG COMBINED HWY/CITY (Personally observed fuel economy. Mind you, I drive conservatively and baby the throttle as if there was an egg beneath the accelerator pedal) 
-- 41 MPG (high) / 34 MPG (low) (Again, personally observed. Individual results will vary depending primarily on driving habit and style)
-- 4 new tires (Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum with approximately 2,000 miles on them)
-- front end alignment after new tires
-- fresh motor oil and filter (Pennzoil dino with Mobil 1 filter)
-- fresh gear oil (Honda Genuine)
-- new air filter (Honda Genuine)
-- fresh coolant (Honda Genuine - radiator, engine block and reservoir)
-- new spark plugs (OEM NGK iridium)
-- valve lash recently checked and adjusted to spec.
-- Japanese center console with telescoping armrest, storage box and pull-out rear cupholders
-- Acura RSX aluminum shift knob
-- professional window tint (I'm guessing around 35% light transmission [confirmed legal in Illinois]. Completed before I purchased. See photos)
-- exterior freshly detailed with Mothers clay and Zymol cleaner wax by yours truly
-- interior also freshly detailed
-- new wiper blades
-- all lights and lighting indicators, driving and accessory, perfectly operational
-- only approximately 50 miles on fresh and full tank of gas


If you have not already, I want to encourage anyone who has read this far to further research this car, as I have not described every specification (e.g., power windows, locks, CD player, AC, cruise, tilt, etc.), only that which I feel is critical to the sale of this vehicle or that which I would want to know if I were browsing the market for a used automobile. Additional information is plentiful with the help of a google search.

For payment I accept certified cashier's check or money order. Certified cashier's check or money order must clear my bank before buyer takes delivery and title. Note, upon my receipt of certified cashier's check or money order, it may take upwards of 2-3 business days to clear. Once certified cashier's check or money order clears, title may either be mailed or personally handed over to buyer upon personal receipt of vehicle.

Editors' Picks August 2021 | Honda Civic, Mercedes S-Class and more

Thu, Sep 9 2021

This month of Editors' Picks saw us award the honor to a couple of redesigned stalwarts like the Honda Civic and Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Plus, a new crossover that splits the difference between the compact and subcompact class takes home the prize. On top of this, we'll introduce you to a new term: midcompact. We'll be using this to describe those in-between crossovers that are a tad too small to be considered compact, but too large to neatly fit into the subcompact class. For a few examples of these "midcompact" cars, we'll point you to the Ford Bronco Sport, Kia Seltos and VW Seltos. In case you missed our previous Editors' Picks posts, here’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in August that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2021 Genesis G70 2022 Genesis G70 View 26 Photos Quick take: Genesis hits all the right buttons with its G70. It's attractive, fun to drive and can be had for a fair price. Enthusiasts should give it a shot before taking home one of its German competitors. Score: 8 What it competes with: Alfa Romeo Giulia, Lexus IS, Acura TLX, Infiniti Q50, Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Cadillac CT4, Volvo S60 Pros: Sharp handler, stunning exterior looks, strong engines Cons: Average interior, loses manual option, small backseat and trunk From the editors: News Editor Joel Stocksdale — "I was already a big fan of the Genesis G70. It has brilliant handling, and the twin-turbo V6 is a beast. It's even a bargain against the competition. And Genesis just made it look a lot better. I wish they'd done a bit more to update the interior, but it's still not a bad cabin. Besides, you won't think too much about it when you're hustling down a fun back road." Features Editor James Riswick — "Yes, it is small, but in a sport sedan segment where "sport" means increasingly less, the G70 still delivers (in part because of that smallness).

Asian automakers still reluctant to use more aluminum

Tue, Jun 24 2014

There's a logical progression of technology in the auto industry. We've seen it with things like carbon-ceramic brakes, which use to be the sole domain of six-figure sports cars, where they often cost as much as an entry level Toyota Corolla. Now, you can get them on a BMW M3 (they're still pricey, at $8,150). Who knows, maybe in the next four a five years, they'll be available on something like a muscle car or hot hatchback. Aluminum has had a similar progression, although it's further along, moving from the realm of Audi and Jaguar luxury sedans to Ford's most important product, the F-150. With the stuff set to arrive in such a big way on the market, we should logically expect an all-aluminum Toyota Camry or Honda Accord soon, right? Um, wrong. Reuters has a great report on what's keeping Asian manufacturers away from aluminum, and it demonstrates yet another stark philosophical difference between automakers in the east and those in the west. Of course, there's a pricing argument at play. But it's more than just the cost of aluminum sheet (shown above) versus steel. Manufacturing an aluminum car requires extensive retooling of existing factories, not to mention new relationships with suppliers and other logistical and financial nightmares. Factor that in with what Reuters calls Asian automaker's preference towards "evolutionary upgrades," and the case for an all-aluminum Accord is a difficult one. Instead, manufacturers in the east are focusing on developing even stronger steel as a means of trimming fat, although analysts question how long that practice can continue. Jeff Wang, the automotive sales director for aluminum supplier Novelis, predicts that we'll see a bump in aluminum usage from Japanese and Korean brands in the next two to three years, and that it will be driven by an influx of aluminum-based vehicles from western automakers into China. Only time will tell if he's proven right. News Source: ReutersImage Credit: Sean Gallup / Getty Images Plants/Manufacturing Honda Hyundai Mazda Nissan Toyota Technology aluminum

Former Honda CEOs chide current boss about quality

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

Taking charge of a major corporation will never be without its challenges, and one of those - as Honda CEO Takanobu Ito is finding out - is filling the big shoes of those that came before. Ito's predecessors are apparently not pleased with what he's doing to the company, and are wasting no time in telling him so.
According to Reuters, two former Honda chiefs have recently visited Ito (pictured above with his predecessor Takeo Fukui) to talk to him about the Japanese automaker's quality issues, which they apparently regard as eroding the company's image. Nobuhiko Kawamoto, who served as CEO from 1990-98, reportedly came to Honda headquarters in Tokyo to deliver "stern words" to Ito last month. Kawamoto's immediate successor, Hiroyuki Yoshino, reportedly met with Ito under similar circumstances earlier this year.
Kawamoto and Yoshino are part of a larger group of former Honda executives who are concerned with the declining quality of the company's products under Ito's leadership. Where Honda once focused more on quality, collaborating more closely with parts suppliers,more recently the company has, in the eyes of those former executives at least, shifted its focus to quantity and to new technologies. That's what, the report alleges, has led to Honda recalling so many of its vehicles in recent years.
