Pricing for the 500 Abarth has not been confirmed yet. We will announce this closer to the UK launch, early next year. Your nearest Abarth dealer will let you know the final exact price of your car (which depends on your chosen specifications) when you place your final order.
We expect to launch the 500 Abarth in the early part of 2009 in the UK. As a valued customer, we will keep you up to date with the launch process with regular communications. Closer to the time, your nearest dealer will be in touch with you to keep you informed of exactly when your new car is ready for collection.
As with any car purchase, you will be able to choose the colour, trim, options, etc., at your local Abarth dealer when you place your formal order.
We will have UK specification cars in the UK Abarth dealer network in the first few months of 2009. Because you're a valued customer, we will keep you up to date with the launch process of the car. Needless to say, you will be one of the first to know when the first 500 Abarth models become available, and your nearest Abarth dealer will arrange an appointment for you to test drive the car as soon as possible.
After securing your reservation, you will need to visit and place an order with an Abarth dealer of your choice. (Our call centre will let you know your nearest Abarth dealer.) We will inform you when the final ordering of the 500 Abarth can be completed.
If you decide not to place an order with a dealer, we will refund your deposit directly to you. You may request a refund of your deposit from Fiat Group Automobiles UK at any time before placing a binding order with your chosen dealer. To obtain a return of your deposit, simply send an e-mail to contactabarth@uk-central.com indicating your reservation reference number.
Once your 500 Abarth is ready, you will be contacted by your dealer to arrange a date to visit them, in order to pay the outstanding amount of your car and then collect it.
Your deposit will not be refundable once an order is placed with an Abarth dealer. Your order with the dealer can, of course, be cancelled, but we will not return the £500 reservation fee.
