2017 124 Spider on Craigslist

Postby DieselSpider » Mon Jul 25, 2016 11:31 pm

2017 White 124 Spider Russo (likely a Lusso) with 20 miles on it has been on Craigslist for a while now. They started by asking a few dollars shy of $40,000 when they first posted it and now its dropped to $32,500 already. They even showed the $29,840 factory sticker price when they had it listed for $40K.

It's also on Autotrader. http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?zip=33603&endYear=2017&showcaseOwnerId=0&makeCode1=FIAT&startYear=2017&firstRecord=0&searchRadius=25&showcaseListingId=0&mmt=%5BFIAT%5B%5D%5B%5D%5D&listingId=434220990&Log=0

Could be buyer remorse, or a speculator, but to me, something is definitely off about that post. There is only one picture that 'might' be the actual car...the rest aren't. Why go to the trouble of finding pictures online if it's sitting in your driveway?

Almost looks like a speculator who bought one to flip and make a fast buck. Why anyone would buy one from Craigslist for more money than at the local dealership is beyond me. Regularly see this with Motorcycles that were on factory clearance which flippers bought up and then offer for sale for thousands more than they are currently selling for.

I spoke with one and he was very candid with the "Yes you can't fool all the people all of the time but there's enough to go around".

I work for a company owned by the same investment group as Fiat and it might be interesting to see what employee pricing is like on the new Spider. Can't reveal what that is here but the discounts are sometimes quite surprising.

Factory sticker said Lusso. Guess they could not afford to proof read in an attempt to make an extra $10,000. Now they have it listed at the out the door target price that you would get from a dealership.

Looks to be the base white paint scheme with tan interior Lusso with a premium package.
