2012 Fiat Abarth / Nero (Metallic Black) finished with Rosso (Red) Leather Seats

Factory Options include 17" HyperBlack Wheels / Red Stripes & Mirrors / Bose Audio / Satellite Radio*

You are looking at a Like New 2012 Fiat Abarth finished in Nero (Black) with Rosso (Red) Leather Seats.  The car is in flawless condition and looks like it rolled off the showroom floor.  It has only 3k miles on the odometer.  These cars are incredibly fun to drive and are very spacious inside - more fun than Minis in my opinion and have way more of the "cool" factor.

The car has all the options you want in an Abarth and none you don't.  The 17" Wheels are an absolute must, especially in the aggressive HyperBlack finish, and the red mirror caps and stripe play off the red leather interior and red stiching of the shifter and steering wheel perfectly.  The black painted dash looks amazing and doesn't "stand out" like the other colors, which are matched to the exterior.  The interior has a luxuriously upscale feel and look to it, again unlike some of the other combos out there.  The Bose Audio system sounds amazing.

The car has no aftermarket modifications and is completely bone-stock as it came from the factory.  It's been stored in a temperature controlled garage and has never seen rain or snow.  Never been smoked in.  (still has new car scent)

Don't be fooled by the 2013s listed on eBay with NO OPTIONS and low prices that come with all kinds of stipulations!  Those cars have $22k list prices and require you to be a previous owner and all kinds of other nonsense including HIGH DEALER REGISTRATION & PAPERWORK FEES!

This is THE proper color combo for an Abarth (Black/Red leather).   This car is an attention-getter wherever it goes.  It's incredibly quick and much faster than it's 160HP motor would imply.  The sound these cars make is incredible.  There performance for such a small car is mind-blowing.  There is absolutely NO torque steer from the FWD platform.

WHY PAY HIGH DEALER FEES AND TAXES WHEN YOU CAN HAVE AN IDENTICAL CAR (NO DIFFERENCE FROM 2012 TO 2013) FOR THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS LESS?

OVERALL CONDITION
The pictures represent a truly flawless automobile.  There is absolutely NO wear on the seats, bolsters, no knicks, scratches, dents.  There really isn't much to say other than the fact the car looks, feels, drives, and runs identical to a brand new one.  No accidents, no paintwork, no damage, no dings, no dents, nothing.   The new car smell is still fully intact.  There are no squeaks, rattles, shimmys, or anything wrong with the car whatsoever.  CLEAN CARFAX!

WHATS INCLUDED
Original Window Sticker, All books and book binder, original two "switchblade" keys, front plate bracket, (never mounted), Abarth Mats with Logo - basically everything you'd get from a dealer minus the hassle, aggravation, and taxes for a new one.

SERVICE HISTORY
I had the first service completed at 2800 miles at my local Abarth Studio (Morris County Fiat).  The car also had the factory recall/bulletin performed for reprogramming of the ECU to the 2013 model.

WARRANTY
The balance of the factory 4yr, 50k bumper-to-bumper warranty applies and will transfer to the new owner.  

OTHER INFO
I'm a private seller, not a dealer, so I can't help with financing, but if you intend to purchase the car, please have your financing in order prior to committing or bidding.  The car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.   NON-LOCAL BIDDERS - Shipping is your responsibility, however I will work with you to get the car where it needs to be within reason.  PPIs are OK (unnecessary but acceptable) but only after a mutually acceptable deal and deposit is made.    

Serious purchasers / bidders only please.  I have the Title In Hand.  This is not a "firesale" or a situation where I need to or am willing to give the car away, so lowballers and wholesalers please don't waste your time.  

If you have any questions, please ask prior to placing a bid.  My reserve is reasonable.  The car can be seen by appointment in Northern Morris County NJ.

* FIAT Factory (OEM) Satellite Radio Unit will be included with the sale.  I never had time to install it.  This is not an afternmarket or extra add-on - this is the FACTORY OEM head unit that replaces the existing non-satellite head unit.

Mopar maneuvers into SEMA with a multitude of modified models

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

As the aftermarket and performance arm of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Mopar has a duty to extract everything from the company's models that it can, and there's no better place to show all of its work off than the annual SEMA Show.
Dodge really gets in on the act this year with several customs to show off different parts of the brand's performance heritage. Perhaps the most interesting among them is the track-prepped Viper ACR Concept (pictured above). It wears a custom body kit to produce even more downforce, thanks in no small part to a monstrous wing at the back. To shed weight, most of the interior is stripped out, as well. Next up, the Challenger T/A Concept takes inspiration from '70s Trans-Am racing in a livery of Sublime Green and matte black paint. The center scoop in the hood keeps the 6.4-liter V8 fed with cool air, and the special's 20-by-9.5-inch matte black wheels keep it planted in the corners.
Also getting the once-over from Mopar is the Charger R/T. It wears the division's body kit, and under the hood, a cold-air intake keeps the 5.7-liter V8 breathing. The suspension is retooled to hold the road better with a coil-over kit, upgraded sway bars and strut tower braces for the front and rear. The company is also showing off a snazzy blue Charger with a mean look. The final Dodge getting work from Mopar is the Dart R/T Concept with bright, O-So-Orange paint and a matte black hood with a scoop hooked directly to the air intake. The performance-oriented design is finished off with a coil-over suspension and big brake kit, as well.

Fiat will start selling 500e in Oregon this summer

Thu, Apr 24 2014

Even thought demand in California for the Fiat 500e electric vehicle is growing, the fun little EV is about to grown its sales to the north. Fiat US chief Jason Stoicevich tells Wards Auto that sales of the EV will start in Oregon this summer, adding that green-minded Portland will likely be a strong market for the model. Fiat 500e demand in California is "fantastic." This year's first-quarter sales of the gas-powered and EV variants of the 500 were up about 19 percent from a year earlier, as a recent TV ad campaign featuring Sean "P. Diddy" Combs and the model's availability at about 220 dealerships appear to have been effective. Stoicevich didn't give any specific sales figures for the 500e, though he did say demand in California is "fantastic." "After its introduction in California last year, the Fiat 500e has been a great success for our brand in just a short period of time," Fiat spokeswoman Angela Bianchi wrote in an e-mail to AutoblogGreen while confirming the debut of 500e sales in Oregon this summer. "Oregon is the second-largest ZEV (zero-emissions vehicle) state after California." Late last year, Wards Auto named the 500e motor to its 10 Best Engines list, making the model the first Fiat ever to receive that honor. The 500e has 111 horsepower and can go 87 miles on a single charge. The 500e also won Road & Track's 2013 award for best electric car in November as the model was praised for its power and handling.

Chrysler-Fiat quality chief out after another poor Consumer Reports showing

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Fiat Chrysler has announced a management change following the company's woeful performance in the latest Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey. Of the 28 brands surveyed, FCA's marques occupied the five the seven lowest scores, while Dodge, Ram, Jeep and Fiat were the four lowest scorers.
Doug Betts, FCA's 51-year-old head of quality "left the company to pursue other interests," which, considering the aforementioned paragraph, means he was sacked. According to Automotive News, Betts joined Chrysler in 2007, defecting from Nissan, and, insiders report, had a somewhat tumultuous relationship with new boss Sergio Marchionne.
His replacement is the newly promoted Matthew Lidane (shown at inset), who was formerly VP of systems and components. Lidane has been at Chrysler since 1987 and was previously chief engineer of the Jeep product team as well as the vehicle line boss for the compact US wide platform which (ironically) underpins two of FCA's lowest scoring vehicles, the Dodge Dart and Jeep Cherokee.
