Still doing research on them. Thanks for this forum! Is there a sticky that is a buyers guide of some sort?
Thanks!

Re: Hi not a car yet but looking
Welcome to the forum!
A "buyer's guide" is a matter of opinion. It really depends on what you want - restoration candidate, driver, show piece, auto-cross, "investment," etc. Some folks don't like the tube-bumper cars and prefer the pre-'75 series. Others recommend the reliability of fuel injection (although it can be finicky, too). As for price, you'll see a wide range on that, too. Again it depends on what you want to do with the car (restore, drive, show,...).
Here's a couple of sites you can check out that may help:

http://www.classic-car-history.com/fiat-spider.htm
http://www.mirafiori.com/124index/tableof.htm (a bit dated but still good info)
Other forum members may have some ideas and links, too. Hopefully they'll add their 2-cents!
Good luck!
