Can you buy a Fiat Coupe in the USA?

Answer 1

No, well not the latest 1995-2001 model anyway. Fiat pulled out of the us market in the early nineties due to falling sales brought about by Fiats poor reputation for quality. You could of course import one from Europe. Italy was the most popular market. They're fairly cheap cars to buy, even the most expensive 2.0 20v turbo models would only set you back about $8000. The main problem would be shipping costs,about $2000. However you may think its worth it for the strong performance given by the 230bhp engine which will do 0-60mph in just 6 seconds and will go on to a top speed of 155mph. Its not a badly built car as another answerer seemed to think, mechanically its very strong while there is no problem with rust as all Fiats have been rustproofed since the mid 1980's. All in all it's a great looking, great driving and cost effective mini ferrari-and you'll be the only one with one. Fiat plans to return to the us in 2010 with the range topping 500 and grande punto abarth models.

Answer 3

An old one, or a new one? I couldn't tell you for certain, but I am under the impression that Fiat doesn't import any cars here, and hasn't since the 1970's.
As for an old one, well, they are around......

My advice is to forget about Fiats, coupes or otherwise.

You will NOT be able to find common, or obscure, parts for a Fiat; even in the junkyards. There will be no "after market" parts for you. Even changing your oil will prove to be a lesson in character building for you.

In order to make a go of it with a Fiat, you will need to:

1. Be independently wealthy. You will spend as much cash on your fiat as a Eorpean playboy does on his mistress - but you will be far less satisfied.

2. You had better be a master mechanic, and machinist.

3. You had better watch all the McGuyver re-runs as they will serve you well with your Fiat.

4. You'll need the patience of a Saint, and you'll need to be single. A Fiat is a jealous thing. It will wreck your relaqtionships as readily as your wallet.

Seriously, save up your ching and go get yourself a Honda Accord and don't look back.......

Answer 5

The Fiat company shafted so many customers in the U.S. with the lousy parts and service setup they had that they completely ruined their business. They folded up shop and ceased importing to the U.S. in the mid to late eighties. I bought a Fiat station wagon in 1974. Loved the car. Gas mileage was great and it drove almost as well as some sports cars I have driven. However, obtaining parts was a long drawn out process. Even small things like ignition points for a tuneup were often back ordered for weeks or months. Dealer service was just as bad or worse in most cases. I haven't seen a Fiat around in nearly 15 years.

Answer 6

Well yes but it would be an old one. I would look for a Dino or an Abarth modified 850 from the 60s. But keep in mind you are buying an antique car that has a unique appearance and may be fun to drive, but it is essentially an ambiance generator, not a practical means of transportation. Make sure you look the car over thoroughly, it may be rusted beyond repair.
As for buying a new one, There are so many other new cars that are so much better, I wouldn't give it a 2nd thought.

Answer 7

No new Fiat's are available in the U.S. but you can find used one's on Ebay all the time. The surprising thing is the high price they seem to bring. I remember them when they were new and they wern't very reliable.

Answer 8

Please please try and stay away from this vehicle. Unless you want to become a practicing mechanic in every spare moment that is free don't do it. These things don't run well when it's to hot and they don't run well when cold either. They don't run at high altitude or on the cost, unless like I said earlier you're a rumbling practicing mechanic and that's all your life consists of. There must be a better way to do yourself in.
