I can relate to this car, since I have a 2013 Abarth also! I voted NO on this, just because that's high mileage and there are plenty of used Abarths out there for sale. The car is a keeper for me, I'm only at 64,000 miles and daily drive, autocross, and a few HPDE track days on it. One small point, the 500 Abarth since new in 2012 to today in the US has 160hp, not what's listed in this article. Same engine as all the other 500s, the previous 500 Turbo model had like 130, and starting with the 2019 models ALL FIAT 500s will have turbo.

Nice price guy here. I do love sleepers, and this "roller skate" would be a blast to drive. I too would lose the goofy gear shift. And I think Fiat= Fix-It-Again-Tony acronym is as old and outdated as Ford= Find-On-The-Road-Dead, and calling Japanese cars "Rice Burners" And ALL old time backyard mechanics who cursed the day that cars stopped using Points, Rotors, and Condensers,

Rather a steep price for 2013 Abarth. Besides had it been left stock = more $'s. Likewise, tranny failure & replacement! Stay away
