Hello , My son is looking to buy an Abarth 500SS 1.4t-jet and I'm after some pointers on what things to look out for. I for my sins am a dyed in the wool Alfisti , so I know the value of these forums and the advice given is priceless. Any advice would be appreciated.

With any sports cars look for signs of it being thrashed. Excessive stone chips, lowered too much, under carriage damage, silly exhaust, etc, etc.

I had a lovely looking Abarth Punto Mk2. But while it had been cleaned and polished the mucky stuff had been ignored.
