Pretty cool chance to get a nearly brand new Fiata 124 abarth. This model is the better modding platform of the ND/NE/NF generation. This and a tune will make about as much power as a ND with $10k worth of power mods and supporting transmission swap. Fiata has turbo from factory and the more robust NC transmission big power builds need. You can even tune for corn or meth.

@Mark @ZeKik let's not go too overboard here, id totally take a free one. Dunno how long it'd keep its automatic transmission, but I get a lot less picky about the details when it doesn't cost me anything.
Some cars, the automatic version ends up being more desirable for subsequent conversion to manual because they often have lead a less abused life and sometimes have a wider trans tunnel which gives you more options....
@Mark @drawks This might sell for more than Iβd be willing to pay. I did a quick search on #CarGurus in SoCal, and nearly all of them are selling from $20-28K. Even with an automatic.
The search turned up 22 locally, of which 14 were the 6-spd auto.
None of them had anything but the black interior, so maybe that was all that was offered? π€·ββοΈ
@Mark @drawks bidding now up to$15K with 5 days left. Chances seem high that this will sell above $20K, so no longer such a bargain, and it might go considerably higher than that. π±
I donβt think Iβve ever once seen anything that could be described as a bargain on #CarsAndBids
@drawks @ZeKik I have to be honest with you, these days person to person sales have become a pain in the ass. Iβve just given up on searching hard for a Honda fit.
This is a pretty rate low volume car that was only sold a handful of years. Itβs quite low mileage. I honestly could see this car hitting $30k, just because there is no supply. You canβt buy one new. If two people want a new auto fiata prices could go nuts.
@Mark @ZeKik cars.com has 70 of them for sale on dealer lots, the vast majority are under 29k from a dealer and have less than 20k miles on the clock.
One with 1,600 miles is selling for 27.7k
My favorite one is this rough track special with 12k on the clock a bit of body damage and a trunk full of aftermarket parts for 14k
