Used FIAT 124 Spider for sale near Carlsbad, CA

A fantastic dealership group leads by an outstanding General Manager's Joel Ryan. Mr Ryan, personally took his time to address couple of issues in the process and have made the transition smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend this dealership for your next purchase as you'll have the entire team there working for you.

Best covertible under $30k used. Italian styling/handling and Japanese reliability. What a car. As a previous 911 and SL 300 owner, I prefer this as a toy without the expensive repairs. All parts are Japanese and repairs are minimum. Best KEPT secret, buy a classic car, and enjoy for years! Handling is insane! Not a daily driver!

Jayson Rewolinski was amazing to work with. He was upfront and honest with us. Would highly recommend.

Three years of ownership and My Luso version is comfortable, fun to drive, A real keeper. Add a custon exhaust, with great sound. Not as loud as the Abarth but jst right.

We were very impressed with the sales dept when we bought our new car. Especially Ashtyn, she was patient with us driving several different ones. And getting the technology specialist to show us all the bells and whistles on it. Please go see Ashtyn@Dpatrick if you're looking for a new/used vehicle. Service dept here is great also they treat you like you matter.

I bought one of these a couple of years back. I even used it as my daily driver which is not for everyone if you have kids/items to haul around town. However, it was the most fun car I have ever driven, I never ran into any issues maintenance wise or when I was driving it, and I even got in a severe car accident that could have very easily taken my life. This car may not be the safest for rolling over in but it kept me safe when I hit a concrete barrier after being run off the highway by a semi.

I had a good experience. Traded in my old car and bought a used Honda. Been driving it for around two years no problem. Big fan of CarMax.

My car has a name. I named her Felicity. I've owned 2 sports cars before, but only weekend cars. Now Felicity IS my daily driver and I love it! I get compliments and she's surly a head turner! Fiat is overall reliable.. also she's a little four cylinder engine. Specifically, that features a 1.4-liter MultiAir Turbo four cylinder engine. I was told to stick to the 2019 model and to avoid years 2018 AND 2020. Felicity is a 2019 and this year is selected for the best engine experience. But only has 26k miles only! so singers crossed that further expensive repairs don't kick-in in the future lol

Had a really good experience, Zach was very friendly, and very professional. Thank you Zach !

I love my Fiat Spider 124 Abarth. It has awesome acceleration and will get up and fly. I have had no issues with it. It handles incredibly well and turns on a dime. It looks awesome and people always ask what kind of car it is. I like owning a car that is not that common. It looks like a high priced sports car, but is reasonably priced. I am all in on my Spider. Best car I have ever owned.

John at Drum Hill is the best buying experience I have had in years. He is very professional, his office manager is very responsive to her customers. They shipped my Mini Cooper to Maryland thru the snow. My Wife has since taken it from me. Their prices are very fair and the vehicle was in excellent condition!! We are very happy with Them and will buy another car from them in the future and can count on a wonderful buying experience. From Massachusetts to Maryland with an understanding and honest dealership!!! Fantastic

Actually I wouldn't recommend this car as a daily driver. But as a fun Toy I would. It's impractical, if it needs repair expect awhile to get fixed. However you don't see many on the road, in the past four years I've only seen one other. Nobody really knows what it is, other than it says Fiat. Most people think it costs way more than it does. It's at least as fun to drive as a Miata. I have the Lusso model which means heated leather seats, here in Wisconsin that extends the driving season with the top down.

I have owned 4 top of the line BMW's. My 2018 Spider Veleno is the most fun car I have ever had. People think it's very expensive. Driver's are always checking it out. It gets serviced at Crystal Chrysler. Although they no longer sell Fiat they do a great job trying to accomodate me. The female service agent goes the extra mile in helping me when ever I make an appointment.

I had a great experience at CarMax! The customer service was excellent from start to finish everyone was professional, friendly, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. They really took the time to answer my questions and made sure I was comfortable with every step. I appreciate the honesty and the no-pressure approach. If you’re looking for great service and a team that truly cares, I definitely recommend CarMax!

I've had my Classica for over 3 years and 23,000 miles. It's very fast, compared to similar sports cars(do NOT compare it to a V-8 Mustang or Challenger, or Camero like some magazines do-get real!). I had a Miata years ago and drove a new one before I drove the Spider. No comparrison in handling or performance. When the turbo kicks in, you're off and running. I'd NOT buy one with automatic, however, turbos and automatics are a PIA. Yes, it's tight if you're over weight or too tall. The 6 speed manual is a dream and it corners like a B-outa-H! The styling is awesome and the top goes up and down like a dream. Yes, you can spend more money for a more expensive sports car, but why?? Fiat finally got things right!

Everyone here is very nice and helpful. Definitely will walk away smiling! Best out there!

This car in addition to my Bmw I wanted little convertible and European car It was exactly what I wanted and color was beautiful . Now only I and my dog will fit in it

Highly recommend!! My husband and I stopped in just to look at some cars. We weren't sure what we wanted but was very surprised at the patience and time Ryan took to help us find the perfect car for our family! Our credit had taken some hits lately but he still found us a great single digit rate. Do yourself a favor. When looking for a car stop by and see Ryan.

I call this red Fiat Spyder Abarth my "poor man's Ferrari". My choice was between the Fiat and the Mazda MX-5 that it is based on. I loved my old Miata but wanted a different look and performance profile. The 1.4 turbo generates a lot of power in the mid-range (2500-4000 rpm) whereas the Miata doesn't start to hit its power band until 5000 rpm. The Fiat's improved torque makes it feel faster even though it is not really since both have a similar 0-60 time. Cabin in snug like you want a roadster to be with everything in eyesight. Short throw stick shifts easily and precisely. It is surprising quiet for a roadster except for when you hit is and the exhaust not is amazing. Has all of the safety bells and whistles too.

We had the most satisfying purchase experience ever in buying a truck from Motorcars Limited. The entire staff was extremely pleasant to work with. Gary was especially helpful. We recommend this dealership if you are looking for a super clean car. I think that they are pretty particular about the cars passing through this dealership. Every vehicle we saw was in pristine condition.

I'm just a tick shy of 6'4" and I did not fit in our Cadillac XLR when the roof was up (hardtop). I fit just fine in the 124 Spider - top up or down. I have enough legroom, I don't need to keep my legs uncomfortably bent when I'm driving, a little bit when I'm in the passenger seat. Likes: OMG, this is a blast to drive. Every time we start 'er up, I get a big, dumb grin on my face. This is the fifth convertible I've owned - it's better than the other four at making a dull ride fun. It could use a bit more oomph, but really not necessary. We compare it to our Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky Redline fairly often. It has much more trunk space (think of it as an acceptable grocery getter for two people), it's just as fast, it seems to have more leg room (my knees were always in my chest in the GM roadsters), and you can drop the top INSTANTLY (just slow down to a crawl...). In the GMs, you had to stop, park, get out of the car to lower the roof, in my XLR, you had to stop, park, and wait the 50 seconds for the roof to open/close, in my Camaro, you could lower/raise top and very low speeds, but the mechanism required repair multiple times in the 18 months I owned it. Other likes: I like most of the ergonomics of the car (I'll note a few exceptions below). The seats are wonderfully comfortable (Abarth upgrades), there's plenty of headroom, the quality of most of the interior is Japanese bargain basement, unfortunately, but fits well. The fit/finish of the body is great, seems solid and looks AMAZING (in silver/black/red). There is precious little storage and two of the strangest (and least useful) cupholders I've ever seen. Plan on stuffing a flexible bottom of water next to your seat, between the seat and the door. NEGATIVES are few but: 1.) Driver seatbelt is slow to retract, when it does. 2.) The touchscreen/infotainment system LOCKS at >5mph. You have to use steering wheel buttons (OK), voice (never works with top down), or the dorky paddle control between the seats - VERY awkward and dangerous - AND, easy to bump while driving. Terrible, dumb design. Older software allowed you to override this, but not the version in my car. 3.) My car doesn't have navigation and dealers don't carry the software chips anymore. (wouldn't be very useful with that stupid locking display anyway) 4.) There's an open recall that cannot be fixed (parts issue). I 100% recommend this if you're looking for a fun car to bomb around back roads and highways, soaking up the sun.

Great bunch of kids - well, to me they are young. However - GA lost my title, then Nashville lost it so I still don't have a permanent car tag. That's been a harassment but I don't think it's on Car Max. I think some state workers are using COVID as an excuse to slack off.

This is a very well designed car that’s going to provide a lot of fun. Everyday tasks are more fun in this roadster. Looking forward to some vacation runs in this car too.

Found a great deal on an Infiniti G37 but wanted my wife to check it out first. When we went the next day it was gone! While there, however, I learned about their terrific warranty plans so when when we saw the car I really wanted - a Jaguar XK - I didn't hesitate, knowing their warranty would ease any concerns I might have about this expensive-to-repair car. Again, when I went to this same location it had disappeared from their website! A helpful saleswoman told me one of their managers was driving it but it was mine if I wanted it - and I did!

This Fiat is stylish and fun. Lots great and drives well. Arrive in style and cruise around town. Looks great with top up or down. “Spider, Spider!”

We had a wonderful experience at Unique Auto Group. We found the vehicle online and called to say we were interested. They had the vehicle pulled out and ready. The price was excellent and as advertised. No hidden fees or problems. Amir was great! He helped through the sales process, and everything went without issues. I highly recommend buying a vehicle from Unique Auto Group! We will definitely buy from them again!

It was another good experience at Car Max White Marsh. I bought a car back in 2001, which was a good experience, so this time I returned again to Car Max. Everyone was friendly and knowledgeable. Thanks Carmax...keep up the good work. Peace, Jan

Very speedy. Really fun to drive in the auto-manual mode. You truly can not be in a bad mood when driving this car, makes me smile everytime!

What an amazing experience at Mazda. Mr Arif Gelmez, my service advisor greeted me when I arrived. As my car’s progress through the entire service Mr Gelmez kept me updated. He is very knowledgeable and a joy to be around. I have never received such an exceptional experience at a dealership. Thank you Mr Gelmez. You are the service advisor everyone should pattern themselves to be.

I have this as a weekend fair weather car and it does not disappoint! I am 6'1" and fit like a glove. I bought the "basic" Classica to be as close to "pure" as possible. Don't want heated stuff or high end accessories for this vehicle. We own an a220 and a X3 so if I want fluff I can get it. For me this is like having a reliable vintage Spider with new Italian styling and safety features. Add on a 8/85,000 mile warranty I got from Zeigler Auto Group CHEAP and I plan on driving this like I stole it... I've owned Z3's, Z4's and 8-10 year old Porsche Boxster(s) and this car is more fun to drive. I'm not looking for status...I'm looking to drive. If thats what your looking for then...this car is for you too!

Metric has some top of the line cars on their lot.I did my research through CarMax and choose to get the Lexus from Metric, and was approved in just a little time. The car was beautiful, clean , low mileage, and had a really awesome price tag. I would send my friends and family to buy a car from Metric. Their customer services was great and very professional. The ball was in my corner, they made me feel that I was a valuable customer. Thank you Metric Dealership of Raleigh.

Lenny was a great service leader. His kindness and willingness to spend time with us so we would understand what services would be done and what is wrong with our car was very personalized and friendly. He is an asset to the service department and knowledgeable. He is one of the reasons we will return. The timely manner we also had all the service done was quick and not unreasonable for the things we needed to have done to our car.

I first saw the Fiat 124 Spider in a coffee shop parking lot. It looked vaguely like a 3/4 scale Aston-Martin DB and, oddly, a Miata. It was lust at first sight! Within a week, I had my own midnight blu Lusso with tan leather seats. Got three dates that week! Wonderful fun...I drove through town for days, top down, cackling. The perfect gentleman’s GT, perfect for winding mountain roads. Not a fast car, but the handling is crisp and dead-on. Just enough ummph to kick the back end out, but in a mannerly way. The turbo boost comes late and fades fast, but it’s sweet spot is the 40-80 mph band - exactly where you want that power on public roads. Only complaints are it’s hard to get in and out of...you basically have to fall butt first into the driver’s seat. But, once you’re in, everything is exactly where it needs to be. Not many frills...but a banging Bose sound system (in my Lusso) and seat heaters...ya gotta have those during Colorado’s winters. I love driving this car knowing I get more fun per hour than the BMW z3 owners and Porsche pretty boys while paying go one-quarter the price. Yeah, it’s got a Miata chassis. Cool! Tried and tested low-budget performance. But the Italian styling and turbo engine, plus the FIAT name give it a flavor all its own. Get one before they’re gone!!!

No pressure, cars looked great, loved Pierre heroldson very knowledgeable, helpful. I've decided when I buy my car it will be at carmax. Only thing I don't like is paying for transferring car.
