It’s interesting, but I wouldn’t be touching it.
Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.

Is it me or is this a somewhat reason price? Especially given that it is at a credit builder type dealership. $10,888

Well it is a 12+ year old Fiat that probably retailed around the $30k mark when new.  So being 1/3 the cost isn’t a crazy deal but not unreasonable.

And it'll only cost another $10k to keep it on the road!

Bring A Trailer is a fun site.  While I enjoy the exotics, it's vehicles like this that capture my attention.
