Helped my bosses purchase two 2013 Abarth Cabrios today, each one discounted $7,000. There are beautiful in red with black cloth tops, they sell themselves just by their exhausts. Boy do they have tons of headroom with their tops rolled back.
Saving the Fiesta ST for myself… turbo Jack o' lantern, here I come. Sad Mini is sad.

Company cars? If so, what type of company?

A small IT training company.

Out of morbid curiosity, what was the breakdown of the $7k discount?

(I managed to get $3k off the $18k sticker on my Pop with USAA, grad student, $1k cash on hood, and Chrysler partner discounts.)

That's just bad ass. Geek Squad, but cool.

It's crazy how there is $3k worth of mark up on an $18k car. I work in the auto industry and this is one of the reasons why people think there is so much profit to be made on other makes.

That's what I said! The dealer was more than happy to get us that price, it didn't eat into their profit at all as it was all based on corporate incentives. They even got the color combo we wanted from another dealer 350 miles away.
We were planning on going used, probably another CPO, but $15k for a brand new car with bluetooth, cruise, auto, and leather steering wheel was too good to pass up. Came with a 50k/4yr warranty and roadside assistance to boot!

2013 Abarth, comfort pack, leather, Cabrio
Approx $31K MSRP
Purchase Price $23,600
With tax & doc fees, out the door at about $25,900
As for the ST, I'll have to sell my branded-title MINI first and buy the Fiesta on my own.
We're going to set up a track through the parking garage, it will sound glorious.

Has anyone installed a muffler-less exhaust system yet? I wonder if you can make one sound almost as good as the Abarth?
FYI, there's a Red ST with Sunroof for $22K at Ken Garff Ford.

no, I don't think so...
I'm pretty sure all the oppo fiST's are stock still
and yeah... that's about 875 miles away from me :D
there is a dealer nearby with a black one, and another one some 15 miles away with an orange one, but I'm not gonna go for orange since you've taken that color already!
looks great BTW

I haven't bought it yet, I still need to sell the MINI. Go ahead and get an orange, there can be two.
I've found that using the locater tool can be useful. Select Fiesta ST and then start searching by Zip code, switching between the dealers that come up. View window sticker, is a great option for actually seeing what the options and pricing are rather than what is listed.

Nah, I actually really dig the green. It makes the car even more adolescent in my eyes, and I really like the idea of a pumped up, ASBO hatch
I agree, ford's dealer search tool is very intuitive!
