Outstanding condition and as close to showroom new as you will find.  There is not a single scratch on car, rims, interior, etc.  Non-smoker vehicle that still smells like a new car!  I purchased this vehicle new on March 30, 2013 when it had 17 miles on it.  It was delivered from MI to Northern IL and had 293 miles on it when it arrived.  I have therefore put roughly 1,000 miles on the car. This is my daily driver, so mileage will continue to increase. 

This Abarth is a blast to drive with incredible handling and perhaps the most amazing sound I've heard out of a car costing less than $100k!  This vehicle is equipped with every option that I am aware of and had an MSRP of $27,995 (I have window sticker).  While I prefer the Abarth without the side "ABARTH" decals, I do have a set of (factory) black ABARTH decals that I will include with this vehicle so they can be installed by the new owner at his/her time/expense if he/she so desires.  You will find plenty of Abarth photos (with decals) on the internet if you aren't familiar with what I am referring to.  This vehicle is equipped with: (black) Leather and heated seats, power sunroof, Beats (by Dr. Dre) premium audio system with factory subwoofer in rear cargo area, Sirius Satellite with balance of 12 month full access subscription (from ~March 29, 2014), CD/Sat/AM/FM, Blutooth phone connectivity through audio system, USB port with media function that displays all music files and folders on the stereo screen AND optionally on the driver's informational screen, multi-functional driver's display with tire pressure sensor reading, trip computer A & B, average miles, fuel economy, etc. Also included are 17" hyper black performance rims with Pirelli tires, red brake calipers, etc.  The vehicle is 100% STOCK - never modified - however there are many aftermarket upgrades available through such sources as "Madness 500" if the 160HP / 170 LB Ft Torque don't propel this vehicle quickly enough for you.  This Abarth achieves an estimated 28/34 MPG when driven responsibly via a five speed MANUAL transmission.

There are no stories with this Abarth.  Never damaged, clean title, not a scratch, stain, or blemish that I am aware of...even the rims are completely free of curb rash.  I am in my mid 40s and sold a larger vehicle in late March, which required me to find a replacement vehicle in < 2 days.  I thought I would relive my youth with a fun, sporty, fuel efficient, performance vehicle.  While this Abarth has upheld it's end of the bargain by being all these things and more, I'm not as 'youthful' as I once was.  Simply put, I need a more practical vehicle for our family of five.

Despite an MSRP of $27,995, I am aware that due to incentives on new vehicles I won't get anywhere near what I paid.  That said, the Buy it Now price is very fair/reasonable.  In many states you will also pay less sales tax buying private party vs. dealership.  This vehicle has the balance of full factory warranty (4yr / 48,000) and I have a certificate for a few free scheduled oil changes. 

If you are looking for an amazingly functional, fuel efficient, sporty, and very unique performance vehicle in like new condition, look no further...this is THE car for you.  Please be advised that I paid cash for this vehicle and have a clear Illinois title in hand.  That said, this is in no way a distress sale.  If you arrive with a cashier's check for agreed upon price, the car & title are yours that day!  No waiting for me to obtain title from a finance company.  If I don't receive the right offer, I will simply keep the car.  Please be advised that if you email me with a ridiculous, unsolicited offer you will likely receive an equally ridiculous (and not so friendly) response, if I even respond at all.  If you are seeking an Abarth, you will NOT be disappointed with this vehicle.

Thank you for looking and bidding!

Strike looms for FCA workers as soon as Wednesday night

Wed, Oct 7 2015

A strike is on the very near horizon for at least some United Auto Workers members at FCA US. On October 6, the union sent a letter to the automaker that officially announced the termination of its agreements with the company as of 11:59 PM on Wednesday, October 7. Assuming that a deal or extension hasn't happened by that time, workers could hit the picket line. While neither side is talking much publicly, it does appear that negotiations are still underway. In a very brief statement, the automaker simply says: "FCA US confirms that it has received strike notification from the UAW. The Company continues to work with the UAW in a constructive manner to reach a new agreement." The UAW seems equally receptive, and it says in a post on Facebook: "Negotiations with FCA continue. Your bargaining team is hard at work and we will continue to post updates when there is more to report." If a strike happens, it could put a serious financial burden on FCA US. Economist Sean McAlinden from the Center for Automotive Research estimates the cost at as much as $40 million per week, according to Reuters. The union hasn't clarified at this time whether all of its workers with the automaker would stop working or if the picket lines would only be at specific plants. The first tentative agreement posted to UAW members working with FCA US utterly failed in voting. Raises and a healthcare co-op would have been among the new benefits. However, the employees were upset that the proposed deal retained a two-tier wage structure, and they also didn't like the lack of details about rumors of major production changes.

Audi rumored to buy Alfa Romeo, officials deny it

Thu, 28 Mar 2013

For more than two years, Volkswagen has been making public statements about its willingness to buy Alfa Romeo and quadruple the Italian brand's sales, and for just as long, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne has replied with some version of "Mr. Piëch, drop it." According to a report in Ward's Auto, all that jousting might be over: it claims that sources close to both Marchionne and Audi CEO Rupert Stadler admit that the two are in talks for Audi to buy not just Alfa Romeo, but a production plant in Italy. In fact, a final deal could possibly include partsmaker Magnetti Marelli.
Against that backdrop, a report by German news weekly Stern quotes a Fiat spokesmen as saying it doesn't comment on rumors and an Audi rep has said flatly that "There is no substance in the news." If a sale is being arranged, the timing would seem to point to how eager Fiat is to raise cash to complete its major initiatives. Even though Alfa Romeo continues to delay its return to the US, it just showed off the production version of the 4C at the Geneva Motor Show (shown above) and said that preferred Fiat dealerships here would get them. Then there's Alfa's recently concluded deal with Mazda to develop a roadster based on the next generation MX-5 Miata - a deal that would seem to help both the Italian and Japanese brands.
The monetary issues are troublesome, though. Fiat is taking a beating in the European market and its weak-kneed balance sheet is delaying gotta-have-it products like the Jeep Cherokee. Fiat has been talking to banks about getting money to buy the rest of Chrysler and those financial institutions have also raised issues about debt and cash reserves, and the nasty game of chess Fiat is playing with the United Auto Workers (and now the court system about the portion of Chrysler it doesn't own) could end up blowing another hole in Marchionne's plans. It is possible that this could finally have convinced Fiat to at least see how serious Audi's parent company, Volkswagen, is about buying Alfa Romeo. Or it could be just another rumor.

2014 Fiat Ottimo is an Italian Dodge Dart hatchback in China

Sat, 23 Nov 2013

Could there be a car that could lead us to forgive Chrysler for the unloved Dodge Caliber? Yes, and it's called the 2014 Fiat Ottimo. This is the hatchback version of the Fiat Viaggio - a Fiat-badged Dodge Dart - that we heard about back in April, and it was just unveiled at the Guangzhou Motor Show to be built and sold in China next year.
This stylish little five-door looks good enough to proudly wear a BMW or Audi badge, with a two-box design that works really well with the Dart's design. Aside from the obvious Dart headlights, Fiat did a great job of giving the Ottimo a distinct and exciting face with an all-new front fascia and L-shaped running lights. Things stay classy at the rear of the Ottimo with taillights that have an interesting circular light pattern and chrome-trimmed lower fascia reflectors. Not that we have any say in the matter, but this hatchback would sure look good competing up against the all-new Mazda3 in the US.
As for what Chinese-market buyers have to look forward to, the press release posted below doesn't mention specific powertrain options, but we suspect it will be the same as the Viaggio. This includes two versions of the 1.4-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder (tuned for either 120 or 150 horsepower) paired with either a five-speed manual or six-speed DCT.
