A couple months ago I bought a 9k miles '18 500 Abarth 5MT from Carvana and it was easy. They delivered the car to my house. The car was clean as hell. Having only 9000 miles on it helped. Only issue I had was getting the final registration from the DMV, but that was because I moved a week later and didn't change my address. No complaints from me. I called them a lot and have been very helpful the entire time. The car has been awesome and fun as hell. I got so lucky finding this car and have not found another one like it since. I was able to track down the OG owner and has been helpful, too. Sent me some of the intake parts he had on the car before selling it. lol The car came with an exhaust, window tint that I removed to go darker, full PPF on the front clip, mirrors, door edge, trunk (I added other pieces). Took it to the dyno stock ran 158whp 202wtq. I installed the K&N panel filter with a silicone pipe replacement and the car definitely feels stronger. Going back to the dyno again. Tryna get at least another 30whp out of it and drop 100lbs. Sport mode adds 20whp & 30wtq from 4500rpm and below! Have to weigh it still.

This was my first used car after buying new cars for 22 years. I searched all the used sites: carmax, carvana, vroom, cars.com, autotrader, edmunds, etc. My initial choice was a CR-Z EX 6MT, but couldn't find the one I wanted for MONTHS. After switching to the Abarth 500, it only took me 2 weeks to find it.
