Used FIAT convertibles for sale near Oak Park, IL

Yesterday I purchased a car by phone for the first time. As a senior citizen I sold my car on the 9th of March thinking I would get totally travel by taxi or Uber or Lyft but I under estimated the value of getting up and going when you like. The team at CarMax from beginning to directions to the highway were the very best. Each and every member made me feel valued as a customer. And feel like they were treating me like they would their family members. You could not ask for more than that. Bj

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

Brought my car in for regular maintenance and Gary made the whole process really smooth. Everything was well organized, and once the service was done, he went over all the details with me. I was impressed with how easy it all was and would definitely recommend this place.

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!

Just took delivery of my second purchase from Ultimo in 4 and a half years. Both times they treated me with respect and transparency. Their service department is easy to work with as well. I live out of state but visit the area quite often due to work and every time I am in I get my maintenance service done there as my local Mercedes dealer charges an arm and a leg even for an oil change. I can say they have a lifelong customer in me. Highly recommend their sales department, Alan, Tash, Chris. Sean in finance is easy and helpful and Nick in service as well. They all treat me like I am part of their team even though I am just another customer from 2 states over.

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.

Very professional and helpful. Also, the salesperson was very helpful and accommodating. I'm happy to recommend!

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.

Great service department! Would recommend for tremendous value and friendly staff! If you have a Mazda, come here!!

This is my first car. I adore it. I get loads of compliments—it’s super attractive and sporty with the convertible roof and the sleek two door design. Fiat really capitalizes on the small interior of the 500C with smart design. There’s no center console but there are still 4 cups holders, large (spanning the whole length of the doors) compartments in each door, a compartment between the front seats, a net pocket by the passenger side under the glove box, and a large pocket on the back of the passenger seat. What I’m saying is this: don’t be fooled by the size. There is ample room inside for what I need to carry with me, in fact, more space than I need. I usually drive alone or with a passenger and I have no kids, so I never feel cramped. I was able to fit $500 of groceries between the passenger seat and floor, backseat and floor, and the trunk. I’ve gone on numerous 2hr drives with a passenger with zero complaints of feeling cramped or claustrophobic. The inside is comparable to the feel of a standard sedan. A little smaller since the car is narrow, but comfortable. It also has a luxury feel to me. The dash is retro and adorable with knobs and the exterior color. The stereo is great and has a touch screen and GPS. The speakers’ bass is surprisingly heavy. I love the digital dash—odometer, speedometer, gas gauge, rpm, gas economy, engine and outside temp, tire pressure, date, time, miles left in your tank, how many miles your trip has been, etc. It has two different options for a little image of a Fiat which I love. It tells you which door is open if one is which is convenient. Everything on the dash is circular and centralized. There are so many small details that I love about this car—the houndstooth print seats, the leather steering wheel, backup sensors, steering wheel radio controls, window controls by the shifter, lights on the side of the car that blink with your directionals, the fact that if you open the trunk with the top down, the top automatically goes up one notch and the trunk opens saving you from having to enter the car and put the top up, little “Fiat” inscriptions in the headlights, and many other things. It rides great—very smooth for a compact car. Maneuverable, good tension on the wheel and pedals. The AC and heat cool and warm the car fast. The doors are large and heavy. The media, dash, and wheel controls are user-friendly. The car feels very sturdy and safe, but also cozy. Excellent gas mileage. You do have to use 91 or 93 octane gas but the tank is only 10 gallons and you’ll only find yourself filling it every few weeks if you drive a normal amount (to and from work, the store, etc). It’s a very responsive car—it does exactly what you want it to do. The only test is the winter. It is not AWD, so I will be getting snow tires and driving carefully. I feel confident about it. The car isn’t really lower than an average sedan but watch out for bottoming out. I don’t know anything about engines, but under the hood was extremely clean when I got it, whatever that means. There are two USB ports, a lighter port, and an AUX port. Middle E-brake which I prefer and a steering column in the middle, not on the steering wheel. Mine is automatic but driving this car stick would be a blast. Overall, an amazing car and I know it will be reliable and exactly what I need until the time comes for another car. I bought it with very low mileage so I’m not worried about repairs which I understand can be expensive since the car is Italian and parts can be tricky to find. I needed a reliable car to put a lot of miles on for a while and this is it!

There are some dealerships and then there is Betthenhausen Fiat! Great folks that made the process so simple!

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.

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 an amazing experience buying my car here! The process was smooth, and the team was very supportive throughout. Highly recommend this dealership!

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.
