Clean house and get the 4c.

+1, 4c.

The Abarth sounds like the sensible choice...but if you can afford it, I don't see anything wrong with a 4C as a DD other than having to worry about its pristine, costly body panels.

Free zero miles Abarth? I'd do that without thinking too hard.

4C, hard to argue with a 32% discount and you just got rid of the "market adjustment" dealer profit hike that all these cars seems to have as you must pay MSRP.

They set the rules, no sense in not winning on both sides of the conversation.

$37k out the door on a 4C is a good deal. That is Mustang EcoBoost money.

Congrats on the favorable deal.

It really seems like the Fiat service network is full of ineptitude. Our '12 Pop has been completely trouble free for 35k miles, but the dealership has failed to do something as simple as balance the tires properly during regular service... Twice.

I'd go for a red Abarth, personally. No stripes.

Challenger with the scat pack, quite legit from what I've heard.

Aside from that Tbh I would lawyer up and get my money back, can't say I trust Chrysler products that much.

Base-model Abarth hatch with the forged wheels and nothing else.

Holy hell! This makes the most sense, even if you flip the 4C and get something else!

Not free but still a decent deal. I give them my 3yr old, 47K mile 500 Sport and about $8,500 and I drive away in a new, nicely optioned Abarth. Leaning this way.

They've stopped taking orders on 2015 cars so I have to choose from stock in the area or wait until August to order a 2016.

Having driven both I would far rather have a fiesta st than an abarth if there is any way you can get the cash rather than another Chrysler product. The fiestas go as low as $19,500 at the dealers I have seen.

The math is there for this one. I am not a huge fan of payments but I would see if they would give you a favorable interest rate. If not I know credit unions would be more than fair as you would have what would be considered a 32% down payment.

The 4C is $70K +/-

My vote goes to 4x4 6-speed turbo Jeep Renegade. Fix up the Miata as a fun car.

Just hit 20k miles in the Abarth last week after 1 year 3 months, and that's with a considerable time in the garage when it was stupid cold/snowing.

So I vote Abarth!

I think it's fair to say $70K +/- when the Launch Edition starts at $68,400. The one my local dealer has in stock is $72K. But the base model seems reasonably priced although outside my current budget.

All my math is off the base.

I appreciate these Launch Model/Edition/profit kickers but I wouldn't buy one. That is a hell of a price for a sticker on the dash.

Wish there was a way to come up with the $37k
