Buying Advise

So I found a Fiat 124 Spider Prima edition.
So they are asking $27,500 for the car
it has 4,000 miles on it.

So my question are a few things.

1. Is $27k a reasonable price for this car?

2. how much is the car worth?

if I had to trade in it what is the price difference from a normal 124?

3. if I had to do some body work would the body shop or dealer have the paint?
like for example I had to get some paint for a scratch.

I don't know its value, but if it's the listing below, I think he's had it for sale for 10 months, so he might negotiate. It's a limited edition, so it's worth whatever someone will pay. I don't know what options it might have over the standard 2017 Lusso, but I think it's a 5 grand premium. (The #1 car sold for $31,500 new, with a $1500 in bonuses.)

At a guess, it'd probably bring in no more than a standard Lusso in trade. There would be no problem with paint. Body shops can match any factory paint.

Buy new. The 124 has the highest stock backload of any single model in the US. $5k off just by walking in the door.

You would be correct. So what would you offer him ?

I think that's up to you... how much a unique car is worth vs 16 months of warranty left. Maybe search Fiat 124 Lusso online? Prices are all over the board. Carvanna had one last week for $5K less, w/ 6K miles. Personally, I wouldn't pay more than $22K. $22K is the starting range for a 2018 Spider Elaborazione Abarth.

Lots of brand new 124’s.... with a full Warranty. If you don’t really don’t need a Fiat 124 Spider Prima edition. Great prices on 2018 models.
