Due to the magic of Atlanta, my Fiat has perished. Turns out two Honda Accords hitting it at 40mph is enough to total it. For the month I had the car, I loved it. If anyone is selling theirs or comes across one, give me a heads up!

Sorry to hear about that.  I hope you are doing well.  I’d keep an eye out for deals, but you probably won’t want one out of the rust belt.

Get back on the horse and ride! 

Here's to hoping all is well.

Sorry to hear that, Katie, but I'm glad you liked the car.  Another one will turn up!

Hope you're doing OK Katie, that sounds like a hell of a hit. I know a good one will turn up, you've got connections. laugh

Hope you had some fun in it the short time you had it?  (Glad you're ok...)

What's your budget?  I see them in the $9k range often, someone I'm friends with in NJ (that also sold me KW V1 coilovers for $699shipped) posted one for sale asking $7k but said it needed a turbo.

Color? Price range? How far do you want to travel for a good example?

She had a perfect white 2013 with 42,000 miles and a brand new set of continentals, which Progressive says is worth $8200, minus a $500 deductible. So her budget is $7700. 

Isn’t insurance great?

"We have a customer selling a clean Fiat Abarth 500 for $7000....needs a bit of work but will make a great track car.  Call us if you are interested in having us build you a tiny rocket.  973-361-0508"

 

It's red, 91k miles. I commented I'm waiting for $6k cars for rallycross, he messaged me to offer $6.5k and see what happens. Said it needs a turbo. I can copy some photos of interested.

Glad you're up and about Katie, nothing to  offer except "Good Hunting!"

 

Edit: Maybe I can offer something.

These are less expensive than I thought.

All seem to be automatic.

Found this on the D.C. craigslist with the owner only filter on of course. smiley Seems fake as hell but there is a company called Roadster Salon in Illinoise but I couldn't find this anywhere on their website after a rapid perusal.  Maybe call them and see?  $6,500 seems decent for a three yr old car.  Manual also.

Why only a 12-14? Budget?

I am currently looking for one, are there differences after 14?

12-14 mainly just cause budget. Looking for something around $8k, manual transmission, automatic is no fun. Hopefully something that doesn't need a lot of work from the get go. Like Tom said, insurance is the best :/

In reply to KatieSuddard :

They didn't offer an auto until either 14 or 15, so you should be in luck for that regard.  Still looking up here as well.  I thought that $6.5k one I mentioned might be fun if it only needed a turbo.  With the family you find yourself in, both bio and online here...
