That's pretty much the bottom line. It will fit stuff from Home Despot
that tends to be a pain otherwise, and it looks cool. Now, I'm not one
to really care much about cars, after all, I'm driving a rusting 1991
Accord. But I commute to work by bike (30 miles roundtrip) and just as
I was biking past the 59th Street Bridge this morning, a bright white
car turns onto it and I'm looking at it thinking that it's an
interesting looking car, and of course it's a Fit.
I was biking up the east side bike/jogger path a few days ago and I
see a dark, probably black, Fit stopped at a light. So I started
talking to the driver and he says that he loves it and that I will
too. That it's fun to drive. How many people say that about their car?
I think that there's a reason that it's tough to get, and it doesn't
seem to be hype.
The first time I saw one was when I went to the dealer where I bought
my (used) Accord and was looking at the used cars, and walked by it in
the showroom. I looked at it, said to a salesperson "what is that?",
and started looking inside it. My S.O. says that I should get it, and
I suggest that we find out a bit more first. Everything I found out
was good. I didn't buy it there though, they wanted $19,000! Pre-tax.
Of course, perhaps they could actually deliver it.

That's pretty much the bottom line. It will fit stuff from Home Despot
that tends to be a pain otherwise, and it looks cool. Now, I'm not one
to really care much about cars, after all, I'm driving a rusting 1991
Accord. But I commute to work by bike (30 miles roundtrip) and just as
I was biking past the 59th Street Bridge this morning, a bright white
car turns onto it and I'm looking at it thinking that it's an
interesting looking car, and of course it's a Fit.
I was biking up the east side bike/jogger path a few days ago and I
see a dark, probably black, Fit stopped at a light. So I started
talking to the driver and he says that he loves it and that I will
too. That it's fun to drive. How many people say that about their car?
I think that there's a reason that it's tough to get, and it doesn't
seem to be hype.
The first time I saw one was when I went to the dealer where I bought
my (used) Accord and was looking at the used cars, and walked by it in
the showroom. I looked at it, said to a salesperson "what is that?",
and started looking inside it. My S.O. says that I should get it, and
I suggest that we find out a bit more first. Everything I found out
was good. I didn't buy it there though, they wanted $19,000! Pre-tax.
Of course, perhaps they could actually deliver it.

Put down the pipe.
He's only obligated to pay what was agreed to. Anything "new" would render
the contract void.

I think the Fit's are currently overpriced at list, not shocking for a
new model. I ordered an Accord not on the lot way back when, it was
late (and I was driving a rental!), so I shopped around a bit and
found a dealer who would meet price and had one on the lot - got a
hundred bucks off the price I'd negotiated. I'd suggest something
like that to you, but doubt that anyone is going to be offering
discounts on stock Fit's for a while.
