I just joined to learn more about these fun and interesting cars. I don't have very much input for anyone yet but I hope to learn a lot and someday purchase one of my own.

Thanks,
Kyle

Welcome aboard! You've found the best place for info and help regarding Fiat Spiders. There's a few Spiders on the market in Phoenix and even a few in Tucson. There are a couple of threads in the forum that discuss what to watch out for when buying a Spider. Keep us posted on your search and if you have any questions about one you're looking to buy. Good luck and happy reading!

Thanks for the welcome, I've been scouring craigslist in Phoenix and Tucson for a running and driveable Spider in the $1500-$2000 range. I've come across a couple of '77 and '76's, but I'm really trying to learn what to look for so I get something I will be happy with. Any input is welcome and if anyone has a drop on a good car, please let me know!

THere's a few from earlier this month that may meet the bill.. (I keep an eye on craigslist myself)..

I have not seen these spiders, nor do i have any connection to them..

The last one, I called about it back in Aug, so he's had it a while..

This just popped up today, think I'm going to take a look at it. My concern is it has been sitting for 7 years. Also, what is a reasonable price to pay for a new top?

There's a silver '79 in the auction line up at the Scottsdale Barrett Jackson event this week - lot 315.

Might be fun to try your luck!

Going to check out a '78 tomorrow, fingers crossed it'll all work out and I'll feel comfortable posting in more than just the introduction thread!

BAM!
Picked this beast up today and drove it 100 miles home, needs some TLC but it drives!
