Hey guys. Just bought my 2017 Abarth.

Oh cool, I was hoping one day someone around here finally got an Abarth too. You got a hell of a good deal on that thing.

Did you buy it from Airport Chrysler/Fiat in Orlando?

 

[cadams155]

I did actually.

 

[SpencerB]

I did actually.

Thought so. It looked like solid car. I tried buying it a few days before you, but their $2k in hidden fees plus having to ship it across the country made it a deal-breaker for me. Did you have any luck getting them to budge on those fees?

Either way, enjoy it! Fully loaded 6-speed abarths are hard to find!

 

[cadams155]

Yeah I had tried to buy it several times. They started around $26k. That was before I knew about the fees. I told them I was a buyer at $22k. They ignored me for a while so I just waited them out. I was out the door right at $24k which I’m happy with. It’s a solid car and they are taking care of the paint chips and missing key fob. Overall I’m very happy with the car, but the dealership was awful in general. I had 2 managers getting angry with me before I got someone willing to work with me.
