2003 and 0 miles on it? So it has sat around for 3 years doing nothing?

Re: stilo abarth 2.4 problems?

I would definetly be asking questions abut this one if i was you....!

Or it may just be the mintest 2.4 four year old abarth in the world!

The engines are very good tho, although some including myself have had to replace an engine, but reluctantly to admit, it could have been my fault

It's very tempting to rev the nuts off the 5 pot engine

Re: stilo abarth 2.4 problems?

yes the car has exactly 1 mile on the dashboard.It was a showroom car.It has manual gearbox(perfect for this engine!!! ),sky window,easy go...and yellow color ofcourse.Fiat dealer offers 3 year warranty for this car.The problem is that the car just sat there for 3-4 years and y dont know what to expect.I know that some stilo abarth owners have change(redone)
the engine(don't know the mileage???).This engine needs to be reved every day!!Do you think it's reliabile in these conditions??
