14k mile Abarth. Beautiful condition, manual. Any idea as to the cost?

Nope, it's $15k.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

If you're willing to accept 44k miles, you can drop it down to $13.5k

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

How about a 2014 with just 2000 miles? $16k.

I can swear I saw a new 2014 500 Abarth for less than $20k at a local dealer, might have even been $18k-something.

WTF is wrong with the car if they are dropping this low already!?

my guess is they're pretty sweet for a bit, but then may be too small/cramped/one dimensional/noisy(flame suit on) for anyone to consider as a reasonable long term mode of transport. so then the market gets crowded with the turnover.

Maybe so. They also might of had to say "Fix It Again Tony"

But that's where the bidding ended, not the actual sale price.

I don't think he'll get 15 for it even if it was fully loaded (no sunroof, no auto a/c, no heated seats, no graphics package - the only option I see is leather seats).

I also don't think the 44,000 mile one will get 13.5. Values are much lower than that. Mine is probably only worth 13k and it has 20,000 miles.

Soon they shall be in my range. Soon......Although I'm not really sure I'd want one out of warranty. They seem R53-esque that way, cheap to buy, but not to keep.

Yeah, I'm not sure how it would be out of warranty. I've had my clutch master replaced under warranty, but that's all it's needed. My car was also a VERY early build, so there's that...

I plan to take it in soon for some minor warranty stuff. They've finally come up with some kind of washer to keep the rear window washer from dripping when you take a hard turn (which everyone who owns one does often). They've also finally come up with a reflash to fix the clock. Some gain time, some lose time. Mine gains about 3 minutes a month.

See, that's the concern. All the little bugs. From what I've seen in the new Dart group on the build quality (long story as to why I'm there...), every one seems to have it's own unique set of problems.

Correct. Folks on Oppo have been picking them up new for around $17-18K.

Yep. I bought my '13 Abarth new (leather interior, premium wheels) for $19K.
