No Fees Low Taxes 2007 Honda Fit Sport Private Sale Clean History on 2040-cars
Collinsville, Illinois, United States
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. Buyer is fully responsible for shipping/delivery or pick-up of this car. 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. Should buyer hire shipping service, the title will not be delivered by vehicle carrier. If buyer hires shipping service, the title and any other pertinent document(s) will be mailed via USPS, as it is not the carrier's responsibility to handle such matters. Please, click "Shipping and payments" tab for additional transaction details. $500 Paypal deposit required within 24 hours of listing close. Remaining balance due within 7 business days of listing close. The "Auto Check" report listed herein for this vehicle shows a loan/lease period.

Asian automakers still reluctant to use more aluminum
Tue, Jun 24 2014There'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
2016 Honda Pilot First Drive [w/video]
Wed, May 20 2015For all it had going for it, the second-generation Honda Pilot was stung by one undeniable fact: it looked like a big, boxy SUV at a time when consumer favor was shifting towards car-based crossovers. For 2016, though, Honda is offering a third-generation Pilot that not only does away with the old model's brutalist looks, but also adopts bleeding-edge safety technology and fuel-efficient powertrains. The Pilot's new styling still doesn't really work, to our eyes. That's not because of the CR-V-inspired headlights or Accord-derived grille. It's not even because of the horizontally oriented, reshaped taillights. The biggest problem with the Pilot is its profile. The hood is an inch lower for 2016, and the CUV is 3.5 inches longer than its predecessor with an extra inch ahead of the front axle. Simply put, the proportions are out of whack. The hood is too short, the passenger compartment too large, and the beltline too low. It's little wonder then that both Autoblog staffers and readers have pointed out the 2016 Pilot's minivan-like resemblance. Changes underneath the Pilot's sheetmetal are just as drastic. Honda incorporated a mix of high-strength steel, aluminum, and even magnesium to create the CUV's new bones. Taken as a whole, our top-of-the-line Elite tester is 286 pounds lighter than the previous model, while being 25 percent more rigid overall. Aside from some penny pinching in the cabin – the hard plastic on the top of the rear door panels is particularly egregious – the Pilot's interior is home to soft-touch plastics, quality leather, and handsome piano black accents. Front passengers are treated to broad, comfortable, power seats, complete with heating and ventilation (depending on trim). What they lack in outright support through the turns, they make up for in long-haul comfort. Honda will continue to sell the Pilot with seating for eight, but for the very first time, it's also offering a pair of captain's chairs in place of the second-row bench. Either setup is comfortable, though the seven-passenger layout allows easier access to the third row. As for the way-back, it can accommodate two kids or two adults in a pinch, but we aren't sure how Honda thinks three humans of any size will fit back there. Happily, Honda ditched the two-screen center stack setup found elsewhere in its model range. The Pilot's ample eight-inch display (standard on the Touring and Elite trims) has menus that are easy to manage.
MotorWeek checks out two sides of the '90s Japanese car scene
Sat, Feb 6 2016MotorWeek's Retro Reviews let you feel nostalgic about a huge range of classic cars, and the latest two releases offer a look at two very different sides of the Japanese car market in the 1990s. The video above shows off tuned examples of the Mazda RX-7 and Nissan 300ZX. Check out the clip below to remember the 1997 Honda CR-V, if you want to reminisce about something a little more utilitarian. The RX-7 and 300ZX were among the era's best Japanese sports cars, and these examples' suspension and engine overhauls gave them an extra boost. Peter Farrel Supercars tunes the Mazda, and the vibrant yellow paint and body kit make it look ready for an episode of Initial D. The updated powertrain stands up to the mean styling and gets the RX-7 to 60 miles per hour in 4.5 seconds. The Stillen 300ZX GTZ sports a giant wing, and new turbos take the output to 465 hp. It sprints to 60 in 4.9 seconds. The CR-V sits on the opposite end of the automotive spectrum as the tuned RX-7 and 300ZX, but it's even more important in a historical sense. The Honda (along with the Toyota RAV4 and others) was among the progenitors of today's mega-popular compact crossovers. These early examples set the foundation for offering buyers a utilitarian vehicle in a comfortable package with good fuel economy at an affordable price. The CR-V had some quirky charm, too, like the removable picnic table hidden in the cargo floor. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.
