Used Car of the Day: 2013 Honda Fit

We're going a bit more mainstream than usual today with our UCOTD pick. Today it's a 2013 Honda Fit in a eye-scorching blue/green color combo.


This one has 119,000 miles on the odometer and a five-speed manual transmission.

It appears to be well-maintained, with everything working and only normal wear and tear for the most part.

The only issue seems to be a failed A/C that's since been repaired.

The ask for this Honda, if you're interested, is $7,900. It's based in Texas.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    I drove one of these with a manual and the Honda Factory Performance Package which was wheels, a firmer suspension and some stripes and what not. The appearance stuff is take it or leave it but with the suspension it was probably the closest thing on the lot to a sort of golden era 90s Si.

    Absolutely a blast if a car to drive. The epitome of slow car fast. These are beasts on the auto cross circuit. If it wasn’t 2000 miles away…..

  • Yuda Yeah with all the friggin problems these things have, last thing we need is more of these things messing up and clogging the roads
  • Wjtinfwb Nice car and looks well cared for. The accessories are mostly for vanity, their value is in the eye of the buyer. I see zero value in them but I like bone stock if buying used. The problem this seller has is his spec is not at all unique; not a manual, no Shaker hood, attractive, but conservative color. Today, AutoTrader has 130 used 2015-2018 Challenger Hemi's with automatics available. The average price is abut 27,200 and mileage is slightly lower than this example at about 40k miles. Almost all are at dealers where a decent negotiator should be able to knock $1500-2500 off the ask. This is a 25k car, the buyer may not believe it but stats would say otherwise.
  • FreedMike I don't need to know anything about this model per se, but I'd be very interested in knowing if Mazda is going to be using the tech from the PHEV CX-90/70 model - which is darned nice, by the way - on other Mazdas.
  • Turbo Is Black Magic Honestly at this point Elon is more of a liability than an asset. How much does the board have to pay to just get rid of him?
  • FreedMike The article touches on this fact, but the number of public EV chargers grew by over 18,000 between 2021 and 2023. https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/electricity-infrastructure-trendsSo clearly the expansion is happening without the use of the funds in question. Not necessarily a bad thing, if you're into not using taxpayer money. Still, I'd be interested in knowing why the public money isn't being used. Are the regs overly complex or restrictive, or something like that? But in any case, EV charging IS expanding at a pretty solid rate. And as far as "...we’ve seen plenty of Republican-backed legislation targeting EV-related spending over the last couple of years" is concerned...well, yeah, there's a reason why Republicans don't like EV charging. The petroleum industry is one of the GOP's prime donors, and every charger built or EV sold represents a direct ding to their bottom line. Republicans, of course, like to put this in terms of "EVs are a woke mind virus," or some such nonsense, but the fact is that the people paying their bills don't want competition.
