I actually bought one of these from Carmax last week for 10k. Only had 20k miles on it, 2013. Its super clean and I love the thing. I will tell you pretty much everything in it is cheap and kind of gross feeling but Ill tell you its the most fun ive had in a car in a long time. Since the miles were so low the maxcare warranty was cheap too so I can beat the heck out of it. Super fun little thing!

Just bought a 2013 Abarth Cabrio for my daughter about a month ago...45k miles, unmolested, $10k....and its a flippin’ HOOT. Not fast per se, but surprisingly quick and super fun to drive. Had the typical broken driver seat armrest, bought a new one and installed myself for $100. She loves it and gets a TON of compliments, many due to the fact that she’s 16 and can drive a stick. 👍🏻 Crash test scores are excellent too. Good stuff.

Knew somebody who almost bought a new one of these Abarths a few years ago, said the Fiat dealer was selling them for like $16,000 brand new. Ended up buying a Civic Si, while not as fun was probably a much more sensible choice.

[@ice44567]

@@aaronbays4 Anyone who bought these new got literally raped. I bought one used at a great deal a few years ago and still lost some money, lol. The values have truly tanked. You could have a clean, 20,000 mile 2015 that you paid $28,000 for, and it's worth $8,000 on trade just 4 years later.

[@aaronbays4]

@@ice44567 You had to be an absolute SUCKER if you paid $28,000 for one of these new. $16,000 was the going price for a new 2014-2015ish Abarth according to my buddy at his local Erie PA dealership. I'm sure he paid a lot more for his Civic, but its worth a good bit more than a happy meal now days and has been faultlessly reliable.

[@MrAshleydickens]

Ooh, I have an Abarth 500 - second one I’ve owned, love them... brilliant fun, feels like you’re driving fun without breaking any speed limits. Anyway, love the videos, and Hello from England!

[@GsrItalia]

Few things about Multi-Air... It's a FIAT (and not a Dodge) engine "born" during mid '80 and now "flavoured" with turbo and MultiAir Technology In Italy this engine has 2.8 lt capacity of oil (around 3 quarts, give or take) but the oil is much important for let it run correctly. Oil is used to allow valve time and lift change but in a quite different way than VTec. So, keep in mind to verify the correct oil spec and also to do the oil reset into the ECU the service. This will allow the ECU to "get a sense" of the oil status than change the behavior of the engine. Last but not least: ECU will refuse to start if there's not enough oil into the system, for avoid timing problems. Have a lot of fun.

[@djentyman4002]

I'm waiting for Scotty Kilmer to comment and say how horrible of a decision you made lol

[@Milnoc]

I bought a 2015 last summer with 43,000 miles for 8,800 USD. 17 inch OEM forged wheels, leather, auto climate, sunroof, sat radio, digital dash, no mods. Only had to replace a door handle, battery blanket and front strut mounts. Everything else still works perfectly, and the Firehawk Indy 500 tires were almost brand new! Gotta get the wheels aligned now. I tend to drive on windy, bumpy roads to see how long I'll live. 😁

[@allen9272]

If you think a 500 Abarth model is fun, you should try a 500e, which is the all electric 500. People jokingly call it an Ebarth. The instant torque off the line with a 500e is amazing. And they can be had super cheap as well.
