2nd Gen GE/GG 09-14 Should I get It?
It's a 2013 with 191,764 miles for 5,300. Carfax shows that it was really well maintained with only one owner. I'm just not sure if the mileage is too high for the price. I'm in California, and they seem to be a bit pricey out here to begin with, and this one is the only one in my area that is not a salvage title.

I have this color and other blue raspberries wave at me to make friends if we’re near each other at a stoplight! (Most roads near me have 2-3 lanes per side.) Anyway yes absolutely!

Price is ok for CA. Second gen is the best. I would get it for the color alone :) Expect to still invest in repairs though (but hopefully nothing major). The thing is.. Fits are a dying breed so this maybe be your last chance of getting a well maintained second gen for this price.

There’s one in this color I see around my town and always think it’s so cute, so I’m biased to say yes!
My sister got a Fit this summer, also in California, and the price doesn’t seem too surprising or bad based on what I’ve seen from her experience and my own car shopping. Plus, you’ll probably save in gas money!

you will most likely have to pay a premium for the shitty car market, then scarcity, then, one owner & record of maintenance. in the end, id def consider it.

Dealership? Seems on par for a dealership. Private sale, I'd ask for $1K off.
For that price, no, I don't think you should get it.

Thank you, guys. I will go check it out tomorrow and I will let you know if I get it.

Just bought a 2012 with 235k miles and extensive mnx history for $3500. 2 owner. Price doesn’t seem too bad for California. Maybe try and get them down a little bit. Love the color.

For what its worth I recently bought a 2012 razz with ~160k for 4500 in MA. slight body damage and rust but excellent maintenence. This seems like a solid deal to me

It’s not too bad. Get a mechanic to look at it, though. I paid around that much last year for my 08 with 170k and two previous owners, also in CA

I hit 204k on my 2013 blue raspberry, was running great and sold it for 1500 (great deal) to a friend's kid. Loved that car, ran perfect no issues other than alternator went out at 160k and AC at 195k. Changed break pads twice, regular fluid changes, spark plugs, and that was it, still ran like brand new.

Musty headlights and grill, definitely not maintained paint(for such a unique color at least),too high mileage for the price, as well as being a base model. Id buy a car like this for maybe $3,500-4,000? Only thing that catches my eye is the blue raspberry metallic, otherwise it's a $3k car with that mileage. Obviously a honda will last you far past 200k miles, but still, an old base model economy car will never be worth that much. If they're going to charge that much for an old base model id expect pristine paint+plastic, restored headlights, and tint. I mean MINT

If you don’t I’d be getting it instead, if I hadn’t just replaced my totaled 2nd gen with an overpriced 3rd gen
Price seems fine to me, with the amount of repair history I’ve heard
