Just for giggles, like in week 1, I check for sale sites to see what the state of the market is for used 2nd gen. Honda Fits. Where in that first week I was encountering Honda dealers advertising used 2nd gen. Fits, now no Honda dealers advertise them. Every other shape of car dealer, new and used, are actively selling used 2nd gen. Fits. This makes me wonder about the legality, responsibility, and ethics of selling this car with a recall on its head. Honda has told its dealer network that if they sell a used 2nd gen. Fit then that dealer is responsible for any lawsuits related to exploding airbag inflator. Further, American Honda is giving cash payments to their dealers to NOT sell the cars affected by the airbag recalls until they are fixed.
I haven't contacted any of the many listings for used Fits from non-Honda dealers, but I'd be interested to hear their response about selling cars with active recalls on them. Any lawyers out there want to start trolling Honda Fit listings?
