Waiting for the Abarth. Sigh...

Contacting a few dealers here in SoCal, I'm hearing everything from "late August" to "early 2018".

If you get any concrete (or heavily rumored) information...please post.

I meant to say "early 2017, not 2018". It won't let me edit.

For Hawaii I've heard early 2017, maybe.....

I'm impatiently waiting also. Two AZ dealerships here told me around Nov.

I'll likely buy my Abarth in the Phoenix area so who should I avoid and then who has a good Rep

I stopped by an Orange County dealer today and was told the same thing, November. Unless they have been sworn to secrecy, it seems the dealers are out of the loop too. We need a corporate Fiat WikiLeak person to chime in, lol.

This will be my first Fiat, so I don't have any feedback on the dealerships. I'm probably going to use Bill Luke Fiat in the Tempe Autoplex. The salesman, Nick, was very chill and not pushy, but it also depends who the Costco Auto program recommends.

The Fiat of Scottsdale dealership has a nicer showroom and the sales guy, Josh, was pretty cool. Also, they have a clear bra tech there on site.

I think the one in Phoenix is a AutoNation Fiat and then one in Tucson, AZ Also.

Let me know which one you will use.

Brunokid99, when I checked with Costco last month the 124 Spider wasn't part of their buying program (but a few other Fiats were). Has that changed?

I wish I had known about Xpel before I drove mine home! If you have the chance to buy from a dealer than can get it wrapped before you bring it home...that is a smart move!

I'd rather bring it home first and take it to someone specific ! They still have to do some paint compounding and polishing prior to applying the Xpel !
