HKQAC 2 Posted December 11, 2017 I know the Fiat 500's are god awful news from my experience! We had a Lounge spec 2012 62 plate with 20k mileage and we had to sell £500 below retail for a loss 6 months later. What colour is it? Good luck if you say red!

Black with red leather seats. upgraded exhaust sounds decent, owes us £8500, they seem to retail at about £9795 - £9995. have had a trade bid of £8750 so most likely will get rid of it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 164 Posted December 12, 2017 I wouldn't touch a normal 500 but an Abarth is OK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's me 615 Posted December 12, 2017 when i lift the lid on any fiat and i see that multiair plastic box that tells me to run as they have electronic valves and are totally dependant on quality regular fully synthetic oil so an abarth at 20,000 miles i too would be looking to trade on rather than retail Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Earunder 69 Posted December 12, 2017 Abarths are good at under £6k for us. We've found it hard to sell any of them over that mark though, usually sit for a good few 2-4 months. Always, ALWAYS check the bloody clutch! Amount of 500's we've have (auto/manual) and the clutch has gone / slipping is stupid! Doesn't matter if it's 70k or 10k in mileage, I'm always expecting to do the clutch. Saying that, our local Fiat only charge us £385 to do the job (£50 extra for auto, program or reset or something).
