2013 Fiat Abarth Loaded With <1,400 Miles...outstanding Condition!! on 2040-cars
Rockford, Illinois, United States
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! |

Stellantis will give its brands 10 years to prove they deserve to live
Thu, May 13 2021Formed by the merger of PSA Peugeot-Citroen and Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles, Stellantis has 14 brands under its roof, a number that makes it one of the largest groups in the industry. Rumors claimed not every brand would survive, with Chrysler often earmarked to get axed, but the firm said it will give them all a chance to shine. "We're giving each (brand) a chance, giving each a time window of 10 years and giving funding for 10 years to do a core model strategy. The CEOs need to be clear in brand promise, customers, targets, and brand communications," announced Stellantis boss Carlos Tavares during the Financial Times' Future of the Car event. His comments confirm Chrysler fans and dealers don't need to worry about the future — at least not yet. And, against all odds, Lancia enthusiasts can breathe a sigh of relief, too. Former FCA head Sergio Marchionne warned of the brand's demise on several occasions. Alfa Romeo is safe for now, too, as is Vauxhall, which are basically just Opels sold in the United Kingdom with a different badge. The engagement made by Tavares also means Stellantis won't divest any of its brands to raise capital until at least 2031. It's now up to each executive team to make a case for the brand they run, an unusual survival-of-the-fittest strategy in an era when cutting costs is more common than spending cash. Diving into the vast Stellantis parts bin should help even the most troubled brands turn their fortunes around on a relatively tight budget. It seems likely that survive Chrysler will need to look beyond the 300 and the Pacifica/Voyager, the only models in its range, and completely reinvent its image, which is currently nebulous at best. Lancia, once the champion of luxury, performance, and innovation, faces the same challenge. It's not starting quite from scratch, it's relatively popular in its home country of Italy, but it will need to think globally and expand outside of the city car segment to survive.

Brand new cars are being sold with defective Takata airbags
Wed, Jun 1 2016If you just bought a 2016 Audi TT, 2017 Audi R8, 2016–17 Mitsubishi i-MiEV, or 2016 Volkswagen CC, we have some unsettling news for you. A report provided to a US Senate committee that oversees the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and reported on by Automotive News claims these vehicles were sold with defective Takata airbags. And it gets worse. Toyota and FCA are called out in the report for continuing to build vehicles that will need to be recalled down the line for the same issue. That's not all. The report also states that of the airbags that have been replaced already in the Takata recall campaign, 2.1 million will need to eventually be replaced again. They don't have the drying agent that prevents the degradation of the ammonium nitrate, which can lead to explosions that can destroy the airbag housing and propel metal fragments at occupants. So these airbags are out there already. We're not done yet. There's also a stockpile of about 580,000 airbags waiting to be installed in cars coming in to have their defective airbags replaced. These 580k airbags also don't have the drying agent. They'll need to be replaced down the road, too. A new vehicle with a defective Takata airbag should be safe to drive, but that margin of safety decreases with time. If all this has you spinning around in a frustrated, agitated mess, there's a silver lining that is better than it sounds. So take a breath, run your fingers through your hair, and read on. Our best evidence right now demonstrates that defective Takata airbags – those without the drying agent that prevents humidity from degrading the ammonium nitrate propellant – aren't dangerous yet. It takes a long period of time combined with high humidity for them to reach the point where they can rupture their housing and cause serious injury. It's a matter of years, not days. So a new vehicle with a defective Takata airbag should be safe to drive, but that margin of safety decreases with time – and six years seems to be about as early as the degradation happens in the worst possible scenario. All this is small comfort for the millions of people who just realized their brand-new car has a time bomb installed in the wheel or dashboard, or the owners who waited patiently to have their airbags replaced only to discover that the new airbag is probably defective in the same way (although newer and safer!) as the old one.
Fiat 500 Fiore Rosa is Italian-Japanese cute-overload fusion
Wed, 06 Feb 2013If you live in Japan and you want to get something for your special someone for Valentine's Day, then slow dance down to your Fiat dealer and check out the Fiat 500 Fiore Rosa. A holiday special, the pale metallic pink Cinquecento is limited to 150 examples and only on sale from February 14-17. But beware the connotations, because as far as we can glean from Google Translate, the 500 Fiore Rosa is a bargain model, getting halogen lights instead of bi-xenons, manual air-con instead of climate control, 14-inch steel wheels instead of 15-inch alloys, and going without chrome trim, glass roof, parking sensors and alarm.
It's fitted with the TwinAir engine and gets the same price as the regular 500 TwinAir, however - 2,200,000 yen ($23,559 US). Other than the special name, we can't figure out where the 500 Fiore Rosa is hiding its treats, especially because it gets the el-cheapo wheel covers of the 500 Pop fitted with the 1.2-liter engine instead of the 500 TwinAir wheels. But if you want to make a statement, it's there. And we're talking to the women of Japan, because apparently they're the ones who buy the gifts on Valentine's day in Nippon.
