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! |

2014 Fiat Ottimo is an Italian Dodge Dart hatchback in China
Sat, 23 Nov 2013Could 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.
Jeep Cherokee faces on-sale delay
Sat, 23 Mar 2013A report in The Wall Street Journal looks at some of the obstacles to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee that go beyond its mootable yet "very contemporary" looks, almost all of them based on Fiat's financial position. Starting with that sheetmetal, in defense of it SRT president Ralph Gilles and Jeep design head Mark Allen said they wanted to "make sure the design still looks modern five years from now."
The WSJ piece doesn't cite longevity as a factor, instead saying that its features originated in a design for an Alfa Romeo, the transformation into a Jeep design meant allowing Chrysler get it to market more quickly and save "hundreds of millions of dollars" in engineering.
The need for Fiat to save money while it weathers the European situation has cut budgets for development, engineering and the pace of retooling the Toledo, Ohio plant to build the Cherokee. In a familiar case of snowballing at work, among the effects will be pushing back the Cherokee's volume sales date and delaying updates to some of Chrysler's other products.
Maserati planning second smaller SUV?
Sun, 16 Dec 2012Maserati's product plans have taken a few wild turns, but as we get closer to production dates for the long-awaited offerings things are getting a wee bit clearer. The the sixth-generation Maserati Quattroporte is here, and a quick recap according to a report in Car and Driver has the smaller Ghibli sedan on Chrysler's LX/LY platform next, then the next-generation GranTurismo coupe and cabrio on a Maserati platform, then the Kubang SUV concept (pictured) that, for production, will become the larger Jeep-Cherokee-based Levante SUV.
All of which gets us to 2015. That same year, according to the report, the Levante will get a brother: a smaller SUV or crossover, perhaps sized like the Kubang concept, to challenge the Audi Q5 and the Porsche Macan. It is predicted to use the Compact US Wide platform, built for front-wheel and all-wheel-drive vehicles, that supports the Dodge Dart and 2014 Alfa Romeo Giulia. In addition to giving the premium brand a competitor in what is a very popular segment, a Maserati move slightly downmarket can help fill a gap while Fiat brass figures out what to do with Lancia.
