Default Trade, Sell, or Keep EM2?

Thinking of getting my true "first-owner" car, the '08 Fit. Landed myself a good position at Harley Davidson HQ and also other good intern positions opening up for me via personal connections .

Conditions:
-Currently own an '01 EM2 w/ 87K miles in "very good" condition (few dings, perfect paint).
-Bought the EM2 for $5000 , while kbb value priced at 7300-8000. So about $2300-$3000 max possible profit if sold private party.



-- Already polled this in the Fit secion, got a few responses. Was suggested to post here also to get more opinions . I would really appreciate the opinions guys / girls !!

You may not want to mention how much you paid, because that's the MOST you'll get on selling the vehicle.

haha, i'll trade you headlights, just PM me. The chick I bought this car from had it cleared out for her by a shop. Personally I don't really care if it's cleared or what not oh and yes I'm hmong

To all those who voted, thanks a bunch!! Looks like the fit is winning so far overall..

I went to the dealership this past weekend, very roomy I must say, but didn't seem as roomy as the honda website described! Oh well...

*PS...also went to go check out the new '08 VW Rabbit 2.5....170 HP / 175 Lbs of torque... oh mama.....

I'd keep the EM2. The Fits are nothing to write home about.

not enough time + money, i'm in college as a sophomore only I'd be happy with the new 08 rabbits having 170HP 3rd fastest car I've ever been in.

Hmm, lots of votes in this section now going to keeping EM2, i like the stock and cleanliness of it...the fit however, does give a little more "utilization" as I am a part-time DJ. Kinda hard decision. Also I'm assuming not many mods for the Fit yet ? eh, who knows.

Have you been on Fitfreak.com?

And there is more and more stuff coming out for the Fit all the time, i think it's a good car personally.
