Used Fiat 124 Spider: the years to buy and the years to skip
Every Fiat 124 Spider from 2017 to 2020: what each year typically sells for (about $16,500 to $21,000), its crash rating, and whether it's a year to target or skip. The best bets are 2017–2020.
2017–2020 Fiat 124 Spider
A roadster built on the Mazda Miata platform, with a Fiat turbo engine and its own styling.
Years to target: 2017–2020. It has an average reliability record.
| Year | Typical price | Verdict | Crash rating | Typical miles |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| 2018 | $18,000 | Target | Not rated | ~70,000 |

Worth knowing
- The turbo engine feels less eager to rev than the Mazda's, and with few Fiat dealers left, service access can be limited.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Look for the Lusso: it adds leather heated seats and automatic climate control over the Classica, with the same 1.4 liter turbo engine.
