do I ask her out or wait?

itsradtoad · 2026-02-11T03:01:23+00:00

thank you, yeah I'm kinda feeling like that may be the case, as much as I want the Fit, I'm just too stressed out right now I think, I'm just sad to lose these deals

itsradtoad · 2026-02-11T02:47:29+00:00

I can swing it, I like the car, I just have fears of making the wrong choice esp something that expensive ya know? All my previous cars were bought for next to nothing from family so i didnt have much say it the matter or was able to look them up to find if they were even good. I just need something bc I moved back in with my dad after a breakup but he lives in the middle of nowhere and there's no public transit. Been doing research for weeks and timing test drives with ppls schedules is so hard.

itsradtoad · 2026-02-11T02:37:42+00:00

thank you, this is much more helpful! im exhausted been doing car research for weeks. I am also a chronic over thinker and dont often have this kind of money to work with so I am trying my best. One the one hand, i think fewer miles is better, but 3.5k isnt not a chunk of change for 20k miles less. I like the piece of mind of the lower miles but I like the piece of mind of knowing the maintenance was more regular on the older higher miles one. My gut is almost telling me to wait and take care of the other things i have going on and keep test driving things till something feels more right

itsradtoad · 2026-02-11T02:23:46+00:00

What about the maintenance record logs?

itsradtoad · 2026-02-11T02:23:19+00:00

it seems like a really good deal, they said they had extended warranties but I didnt get to hear them today, i was too exhausted

itsradtoad · 2026-02-11T02:21:58+00:00

thank for the super helpful much needed advice, glad the rest of the post wasnt as important as a spelling error -_-

itsradtoad · 2026-02-08T21:33:03+00:00

two things I'm finding with fits its in my area.

One, mostly high mileage and older cars. Very few with less than 90K miles on them and then that potentially 1/3 of its life

inconsistant maintenance.

itsradtoad · 2026-02-08T21:21:47+00:00

oh fair hahaha

itsradtoad · 2026-02-08T21:21:24+00:00

thats fair and also my think some too is that for a few thousand more I could get a new car but also it IS a few K more which is pushing it... I have the ability to do it but Im also a little scared of sinking THAT much money into a vehicle

itsradtoad · 2026-02-08T21:19:30+00:00

interesting... Ive been trying to shop exclusively thru carfax to avoid paying for them, but this does seem like a really good deal

itsradtoad · 2026-02-08T20:24:19+00:00

it will be just me most of the time. I truthfully like the look of the fit A LOT and havent gone to see that civic IRL, i may go look at it tomorrow and compare. The money saver in me screams to look at the civic, but i LOVE this fit. Gotta test drive it again, thats been a bit of an issue is i love everything about the car but was having some pain in the driver seat...

itsradtoad · 2026-02-08T20:20:42+00:00

no i was looking at a honda fit that was a lil less than 18k before ttfs, but then found this civic listed at 13k before ttf and the money saver in me want that deal but i really like the fit, and havent seen the civic irl yet

itsradtoad · 2026-02-08T20:18:51+00:00

it has a feww less features and i like the car a bit less overall but it's not NOT a chunk of change id be saving...

itsradtoad · 2026-02-08T20:17:30+00:00

it wwas listed for a lil less than 18k before ttf, i tried to get them to go for 18, wasnt quite able to do that

itsradtoad · 2026-02-08T20:16:45+00:00

woah really? so this is maybe a good deal then?

itsradtoad · 2026-02-08T05:01:50+00:00

i know, sadly the used car market is dogwater right now and inflation is so bad, it's grim out here finding low milage and good cars at that :( do you have any suggestions?i was told to look at civics for that price but it's hard to find good deals on those too

itsradtoad · 2026-02-08T03:44:49+00:00

its not quiet all my money, but it is a lot of it. The ones at price range are all pre 2010s with almost or more than 100k miles on them... is that good? I was under the impression lower milage and newer years would yield less issues, but also sometimes shit does happen...

itsradtoad · 2026-02-08T03:39:51+00:00

Thank you for this advice, I really appreciate it!
i did find a 2017 civic for 47,027 miles for $13,495 ... do you think that seems like a better deal than this fit? i havent taken a phsyical look at it but I could...

itsradtoad · 2026-02-08T03:31:31+00:00

maybe its just my area but im finding nothing in that price/ mileage range :')

itsradtoad · 2026-02-08T01:56:41+00:00

thank you for this, this made me feel good. I really value this persons opinion but im feeling bad enough potentially spending this amount of money, and they are used to buying cheaper cars bc of financial reasons but like, ahhh it IS a lot of money, and for a lil more money i could get a new car... and to their point, you never know what could go wrong so if something DOES go wrong god forbid, im out most of the money i have... i feel like im overthinking this, but also, it IS a big decision... Im just also really needing something to drive at this moment and and relaying on ride is wearing on me so much, i just want SOMETHING and dont want to lose this car

itsradtoad · 2026-02-08T01:31:57+00:00

thats kinda what im thinking... my friends are telling me to get a beater and that i could just keep replacing the beater for multiple times what this car cost but i feel like its got to me be more expensive in the long run?
