Looking for some help figuring out which car to buy. After a long and arduous process of elimination we narrowed down to 2 cars.
2013 Honda Fit with 41k miles in EXCELLENT condition for 12,600 total price.
2022 Honda HR-V with 18k miles, certified (2 year bumper to bumper coverage and 100k/7 years of power train) for 25,300 total price.
I can pay for Fit out right and not have payments or i can put that 12,600 towards the HR-V. The reason Im even considering a payment is that Honda has a promotional APR on Certified cars at 1% for 3 years.
The main sticking points are: I will have a payment for the next 3 years with the HR-V and no matter how great of a condition the Fit is in - its a 12 year old car.
Im not going to keep the car for as long as possible, resale value is irrelevant.
