Yes, but it comes with a salvage title

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Looks super clean, and the price is the lowest I’ve ever seen - last salvage one I saw was $9999

But why does it have a salvage title.

No, it’s a savage title.

I’d at least check it out. One easy check is to pull up the carpet in the trunk and see if the metal has any welds or folds there. I’ve spotted that in a few cheap cars that my friends brought me to look at. I’m sure you could watch a few YouTube videos on spotting crash damage.

I’d have reservations about buying a car from someone with that level of English writing.

I already have an Abarth, I suppose I could get me a hatch to compliment my convertible :). I could totally make this into my dog-mobile if I gut the interior :)

Not sure why it has a salvage title, but if there are serious shoppers in Denver, take a look at this one. It is $4000-5000 less than a non-sa(l)vage model

the author is saying you (or anyone else who doesn’t know) are a Git if you don’t know that it has great gas mileage.

Do an AutoCheck or Carfax at the least. Maybe that will give you an idea of what happened to it.

Ah. I see. It certainly is a tempting deal if anyone is in the market for one!

I nearly bought a non salvaged 2014 with 20k miles for $11k

I don’t think it’s worth it

This one is $3500 cheaper. It is probably the cheapest driveable Abarth on sale in the whole USA. What makes it not worth it?

Year newer, half the mileage, and a clean title.

I don’t always trust rebuilt titled cars. Especially newer ones like that. Usually means that they have to be hit rather hard. Or flooded. And not all insurance companies want to cover them.

I’d rather spend a little more to get a solid one owner car with less mileage. The spending up front will probably be a better investment than saving it now.

It might. There was a great one in Denver recently - $10500, 2012 with under 10k miles. If that was available when Ibwas looking, I wouldn’t have to go to SLC for mine.

That said, asking price of $7500 is really not bad. I’d consider it if I didn’t have one
