Sold. I was surprised at that price.
Plus it's also got the best theft-protection system around.......stick shift.

Couple things I missed when inspecting it:
-Oil was dirty. Okay. That was a warning sign but it happens.
-No amber line on the dipstick indicating overheating. No chocolate milkshake.
-Air cleaner was completely clogged as in packed. A few bucks 4 snaps and it's done in 10 seconds. Why didn't they..?
-The blower motor only worked on high. Bad resistor. Having only two little phillips screws it sure was a pain to get to under the passenger dash. Had to crack it with a right-angle screwdriver with only 30deg of turn available. Then place a stubby from underneath (in my right hand) while laying across the driver's seat, and press on the back of that stubby with a long handle screwdriver (in left hand) to get enough pressure so it didn't cam out. Ugh. They didn't leave extra room in that car. A few bucks and it works again.

I'm getting about 32mpg city avg so far which is nice.

What I love about the Fit is the amazing power band.
It will cruise at 20mph in 4th gear, or rev 40+mph in 2nd gear just the same without complaining.
8k tach baby! Gonna gets me some NOS and hit the racing circuit.

^Steve that's a beautiful car, as is your other one.
