NAV
keyess entry
back up camera
7" display
Sticker was $27285 w/o NAV
I wanted NAV so that became a deal breaker. So they are going to install the Nav when service gets the download
So I traded a 2013 SLK350 with 46Kmiles key to key plus I get back $2250 extended Service Contract on the Benz. whic was the same as the stock Fiat warranty, Win Win.
I did not want the Abarth after driving it. Too stiff and loud. I don't need all the suspension stuff and I hate black wheels. I then drove the Classica and the ride was much better. Acceleration was good enough,
I bought the Manual because I will like driving it more. The car is very nice. Yeah it don't have the expensive upgrades like leather (fixed easily with slip ons) Blind spot, fog lamps (never use them) rain sensitive windshield wipers.....I will decide when to use them. No climate control or heated seats. Not needed here. I just could not see another $4000+ Less to go wrong.
The Abarth was fun but I could see me getting tired of the engine noise. The soft top is the only downside. But I can wait for a Retractable coupe later on. I like that everything is simple. Manual roof. Not so much to go wrong Plus I get $2250 back that I paid for the Mercedes extended coverage out to 2020. That will go into the 124. 4 years 50K is already built into the Fiat,
I only had the SLK for about a month LOL. But they came down a lot as I did not want to put anything down. So we swapped keys and off I went.
