FIAT 500 Prima Edizione List (US)

[fossey]

#113 here in Los Angeles. Has about 80,000 miles on it.
Just bought it on a used-car lot. Didn't realize what it was until I stumbled upon it in this forum. I was wondering why it still has a satellite radio subscription 7 years on!
This car will get extra-special care now. I've always been an Alfa and Maserati guy but having just bought two Fiats in the last month, I'm part of a new family now!

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your Prima! Pull up a seat and post some pictures when you can. Love to hear about the Alfas and Maseratis. What other Fiats do you have?

It could be that Sirius radio is on for one of the Free weeks or months they sometimes give out. I know years ago you could get a lifetime subscription to Sirius at a good price, not sure if that is still the case. Enjoy and welcome to the forum. Lots of info on here about the car.

#392 reporting in, McKinney TX.

Purchased my PE Grigio from a used lot in Rockwall TX almost on a whim. Wanted a small, manual, fuel-efficient car to commute to the train station each day. Got a good deal on the car, didn't realize the unique nature of the PE until weeks later after I saw a comment on a forum.

Vehicle has 108K miles, still in fairly good shape for the years and mileage. No major dings but some minor hail dents. According to CarFax it's had regular maintenance, a couple sets of new tires, and had the instrument cluster replaced in 2013. Original owner was in California, eventually the car was labeled a "lemon" due to an electrical glitch with the rear wiper, so the dealer purchased it back and it ended up at Fiat of McKinney TX (which recently closed). No notice of a clutch replacement and I'm wondering if it's due, apparently there was a recall? Seems to work fine for me.

I have been driving it for less than a month and have received more questions and comments than any car I've ever driven. Never owned anything this exotic but it sure is fun to drive, and now I'm looking at possibly giving this to my 17 year old daughter (she'll have to learn to drive a stick) and getting myself an Abarth.

You might have one of the highest mileage PE's around! Glad to see people are still taking care of them and keeping them on the road.

I bought my car (#322) in 2020 from someone who was having health issues and could no longer keep it. It has about 57,000 miles on it. We live in Tacoma WA. I have almost always had some kind of small, interesting, European sports car, and this 500 has to be one of my favorites. It's also in really good shape. We were parked next to the previous owners at a 4th of July event. I thought it was so cute that I asked if I could take a few pics of it to show other car crazy family members. It led to some conversation, and he mentioned that he was going to have to sell it. Weeks later, we were still thinking about the car, and my hubby remembered where he said he worked. We called the place (where he was the manager) and asked if we could come by there to test drive his car. He said yes, we went up there, took it for a (very fun) drive and bought it. It doesn't get many miles put on it as we only take it out for fun on nice summer days.
I am curious how much people figure that these cars are actually worth, as I imagine the blue book price wouldn't take into account for it being a limited, special edition.

Blue Book only knows of the 500 Sport. The PE is the only special edition besides I believe the Cattiva that doesn't exist on the website. Being a Prima Edizione, it's definitely worth more than a regular Sport.
