Default 2012 Abarth (Little brother to the Modena 360)

For sale is my 2012 Abarth with 29,000 miles. Jokingly, it wants to be the little brother of the beautiful Ferrari Modena 360 currently on this site https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/p...terior-159901/

White with red stripes and mirrors, Sunroof, Auto Climate Control, Red Leather Front Seats, Sirius Satellite Radio, Bose Stereo and Sub-Woofer, Brand New Tires (Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3), Recent Oil Change. I took the back seats out and they are included in the sale and I will put them back in for you if you want. Included are the original shifter and the rear seat. Everything that came with it.

I am the original (mature) owner. Very engaging car. 1.4L Turbocharged & Intercooled, 160 HP, 170 Torque, 2500 lbs! Like Jay Leno said in the video about his Abarth, "I'ts more fun to drive a slow car fast than to drive a fast car slow." He was right! Car is a blast to drive around town and makes the best exhaust sounds! You will look for underpasses and tunnels to drive thru and make it backfire (Yes, you can learn to make it backfire on command!) Was my daily driver for the past 4 years but now I'm waiting for my 2008 XJL to be delivered from Kenosha, WI. I'm now 62 years old and need something more comfortable and becoming of someone my age. Car has not been abused or raced. No Accidents, No Modifications except for Craven Short Shifter (has significantly made shifting more precise). Car has no problems and is in great condition.

Asking $11,500

Please PM me if you are interested. Can assure you that this car will not disappoint.

Good looking car. I bought a non-turbo one for my daughter, and even that is a blast to drive. They handle extremely well and is so much fun to throw them into corners. Curious why you took the rear seats out?

GLWS.

Hi anindyam. You know how much fun they are to drive. The rear seat is a torture trap for anyone over 5 feet tall. Since I used the car mainly for commuting, I had no use for the back seat as no one would go into it for more than 5 minutes. We would always use another car for more than 2 people.

Taking the back seat out reduced the weight by almost 50lbs but more importantly, made the car much more useful. I can put large items in there that can't fit in the trunk of a car. The Fiat held more items than my E500 with the rear seats folded down when my son went back to school.

I put the rear seats back in and will take a picture and add it later. I have had the rear seats out so long, it looks strange with the seats in place.
