When you get a chance to buy a sporty turbocharged coupe for $3,000 you jump at it and that's exactly what I did. This 2012 Fiat 500 Abarth was listed on FB Marketplace for $4,000 OBO, I asked how OBO is OBO, and the answer was $3,000 FIRM. I immediately PayPal'd the money to Brady and booked a flight to Tennessee to pick this car up. Once I got there the car ended up being way more fun than I anticipated, the 1.4L 4 cylinder Multiair engine from Dodge is crazy with a just a few bolt-ons. I can't wait to drive it 900 miles home and start working on it!
This Fiat 500 Abarth had an original sticker price of $22,700 just 7 short years ago and now it's an absolute enthusiast bargain. Here's the original window sticker if you want to see the equipment and options: bit.ly/500Abart...

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.

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. 😁

@GsrItalia
@GsrItalia 5 лет назад
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.

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.

Was at the Tail of the Dragon a couple years ago, ahead of me was a black 500 Abarth(would be hilarious if it was this guy's!!). I was in my stockish Lexus SC300/5 speed(2JZ bro lol). Man dude really knew the road and just left me for dust. I tried keeping up the first 2-3 turns but he was already pulling away and I was thinking, uhh this is insane, one wrong move and I'm either into a tree, a rock wall, or flying off a cliff. Backed off a bit and he was GONE!!!!!! Sounded modded, had a LOUD exhaust. And the VW Golf R peeps had a meet that day, was able to hang with some of them, so pretty sure it was dude knew how to f'ing drive, I was impressed.

There's a group of us out there every spring and the cars are only getting faster : ]. The weekend we went this past year there were a number of other groups out (miata, mini, porsche, audi, BMW, subarus, etc.). No one was keeping up and we did a lot of runs. It's almost like the car was built for those roads.

@@bsd103 VW Golf R's or Fiat 500's??? It was early spring when I was up there, 2016. Need to get back, didn't think it had been that long.

@@aaronbays4 modded 500 Abarths. We had 124s and some 4Cs running with us too. One of the 4Cs wrecked though. No forgiveness with mid-engined cars there once you hit oversteer.

Lol - I was saying to myself, it’s cool looking but it’s still a Fiat. “Fix It Again Tony” First shot of dash - check engine light on. Thanks for confirming

Not a Fix It Again Tony. This will be a Fix It Again Dave. This car will make the Wiz very Happy. But the fact that the previous owner will actually show his face in the video is a good sign. Never buy a car from someone who won't show his face in your video.

I don't mean to be insulting or anything but... I totally stopped caring about the Fiat when I saw that Explorer Sport. Now I want a full video on it.

Great little cars, the engine it's based on is the old FIRE unit and and they are super reliable. Whenever I see them in the state's though they look incongruous, small and stylish is a world of hideous trucks and SUVs. Nice to see proper suspension and the correct size wheels, 17s are available but the lead engineers at the time said that's only for aesthetics and that they perform best on 16s.
