Up for auction is this low-mileage 2017 Fiat 500 Abarth Cabrio finished in Nero Puro over a black Performance Cloth interior with high-back bucket seats. Offered as the high-performance version of the 500 hatchback, the Abarth version is tuned by Fiat’s in-house performance department with a lowered suspension, larger front brakes, and a much more powerful 1.4 L turbocharged inline 4-cylinder engine. This 2017 Cabrio is optioned with the Beats Premium Audio Package, heated front seats, and 17" Hyper Black wheels. Showing approximately 3,500 miles on the odometer, this 1-owner 500 Abarth is now being offered in pristine overall condition by its seller in New York accompanied by original books, a clean title, and a CARFAX report.
The Nero Puro finish is shown to be in exemplary overall condition except for a ding on the driver’s door and some light scratches on the hood (detailed images and paint meter readings are provided in the photo gallery). Features include a retractable black soft-top, Abarth side graphics, Abarth badging, red brake calipers, an aggressive front fascia, and flared rocker panels. This example rides on factory 17" forged wheels finished in Hyper Black and dressed in Pirelli P-Zero Nero tires.
Inside, this Abarth's cabin is trimmed in black Performance Cloth with contrasting red stitching. Some noteworthy factory features include aluminum pedal covers, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, a turbo boost gauge, and a touchscreen display. Optional equipment includes the Beats Premium Audio Package, heated front seats, automatic climate control, and a SiriusXM satellite radio receiver. The interior is said to in like-new condition.
Offering a substantial increase in power over the standard Fiat 500, this Abarth is equipped with a 1.4 L inline 4-cylinder MultiAir turbocharged engine rated at 160 HP and 170 lb.-ft of torque. The front wheels are driven through a 5-speed manual transmission allowing for a 0-60 time of approximately 7 seconds. A high-performance suspension and larger front brakes are equipped from the factory and this example had undergone a rear muffler delete for enhanced sound. The factory dual-exhaust tips remain in-place and this car is said to be otherwise stock. There are no outstanding maintenance items, and this Fiat is still covered under its factory 4-year/50k mile warranty.
This sale will include a set of 2 keys, the original books, a copy of the window sticker, and a clean title. Offering turbocharged, stick-shift excitement from a compact and agile platform, this 500 Abarth is ready to put a smile on the face of its next owner.

I have been watching this auction with great interest as I am a Fiat enthusiast as well as a Porsche guy. I own two Abarths , a 2012 Coupe that is heavily modified and heavily tracked and a 2018 Coupe with light
modifications as a daily driver. These cars are indeed a blast to drive and turn a lot more heads then you would ever suspect. I should
add they have both been relatively bulletproof. It is hard to find anything nearly as fun at this price.GLWTA. Whoever drives
away this charm will not be disappointed.

@PWallace Thank you for clearing that up! I was pretty sure this was how it came OEM so this makes sense. And I agree, the sound is excellent ?
As a new buyer and still current owner of a 2013 Abarth Cabrio, I believe the muffler delete was from the factory. It only came with the cats and a resonator. My salesman gleefully told me about that, and I confirmed that with press materials at the time. The sound really adds to the enjoyment of these cars. Truly unique. Mine sounds just like what I hear in your video. I hope this helps clear up a previous question in regards to whether the "muffler" will be included in the sale.

@Ringmeister This vehicle was non smoker owned and hasn't been smoked in. The vehicle is sold as it stands w/o any extra parts. Just FYI, the sound is extremely tasteful and not obnoxious by any means. I actually thought it was OEM. It's the perfect amount of throatyness IMO and adds to the driving experience in a positive way.

@rkaufman11021 thanks for the quick reply Rich. Has the car been smoked in and also, will the muffler be included with the sale?
@Ringmeister The right side wheels have curb on the outside edging. The left side front has the slightest and the left side rear is solid. However, no bends or anything abnormal such as cracks etc.
Thanks
Rich
Hi seller, are all four wheels curbed? Tough to tell from the photos. Thanks.

My apologies. If you look at the picture of the passenger side door you will see, I’m sure, why I left the comment. Once again, my apologies.
@SBerastequi I am confused to why I would repaint a door that has no blemishes? There is only a slight ding on the Driver door which a Dent ex repair man can do in a couple minutes. I believe you read the description inaccurately. The warranty is up on August 1 2021.
Thanks
Rich
When does the warranty expire? I’m surprised you didn’t have the passenger side door repainted. Thank you.
