Nop, not yet, I only have it 10 days now, 400km in total! :)
I love it more every day! biggrin2

[cjay]

Get out and put more kilometers on it :D

There was a huge difference in my 1.4 Sport after about 2,000klm it ran soooo much better than new. It really is like a different car now :D

Your Abarth is SO sweet!!! And not to expensive I have to ad! I paid 17600 euros for my 1.2 lounge! But of course we have to remember, that basic income level in Greece is a bit lover than here!

But so far they don´t even import the Abarth here. If they deside to import it, I´m afraid the price would be 26000 - 28000 euros.

[cjay]

How about some more photos of the Abarth Lefteris? Take a camera out on your next drive :D

20.000 euros is the right price for the Abarth, more then this is a no go for a small town car!

Here is an add for a new abarth in Norway... Looks pretty much like yours. Look at the price:

[cjay]

That's exactly the Abarth I want, can you buy it for me and send it down here ? :D

I noticed the 500 logo is in the middle of the speedo, does anyones 500 do that or is it just an Abarth thing??

This one is the metallic white and it has leather interior (2 thin stripes on the seats) and the roof, but I have the auto clima!
More options then mine, it cost here 21.000 to 21.500euros!
How many euros are those on the link?

I believe that they are all have it before they set them up for delivery!
I will check if we can hack it in order to have the 500 logo on the speedo for a few sec every time we start the car, that will be cool! ;)

Your prices seem to be really expensive. Here in the UK basic prices are :

1.2 Pop - £ 8,100 (8,941 euros)
1.2 Lounge - £ 9,500 (10,486 euros)
1.4 Sport - £10,900 (12,032 euros)

Then the price rises when you start adding the styling and accessories :eek:

Are the basic specs different for each country?

[cjay]

The specs do seem to vary along with the prices :confused:

My 1.4 sport was $31,500AU which is £14,600 The only option I added was the 16 inch wheels, They were $900.

Here you can only get the Sport in a 1.4 and the diesel only comes in a lounge... Only the Pop comes with a 1.2

They have even removed the configure a 500 web page from the aussie Fiat web site, was probably confusing their hopeless sales people lol

The AU price list if anyone is thinking of moving down this way :)

http://www.fiatcars.com.au/media/pdfs/Fiat_Price_List2008.pdf

There is a long list of taxes that get added to the advertised price :(

[VilleV]

We don´t get Pop here at all. 1.2 and diesel are available only in lounge trim and 1.4 in sport and lounge. Reason why cars are so expensive here are huge taxes. Taxfree prices are actually cheapest in hole Europe, but when the taxes are added the total price is ridiculous! The cheapest You can get your hands on one is 16500 euros for a 1.2 lounge with no added options.

[Cadbury]

Crikey that is expensive.

Is there anything stopping you buying in another country and driving it home ?

I believe we in the UK can buy abroad but the insurance rises on an imported car. Do not know if import duty is payable. Anyone done this ?

[VilleV]

It´s possible to buy from another country, but it´s not worthwhile because you would have to pay huge import taxes. And after the taxes price would be at least as high as they are here anyway.

But importing a secondhand car is another matter and it´s quite common to import e.g. Mercedes´, BMWs, Audis etc from Germany. In premium cars there is some possibilities of profit. More pricey the car is in Germany, the more there is profit to be made. Also equipment in a car influense on the amount of taxes. The better the car is equipped the bigger the tax is going to be. Therefore it´s popular to import basic models with diesel engines from otherwise expensive car like for example Mercedes E-class.
