Lucky! I looked at two Fiat 2000's (124 Spider basically) in my area, but both were in bad shape for their asking prices. And about reliability or lack thereof, when I researched Fiats, everyone I talked to said that the cars are only marginally less reliable than your average car, and the only time they are a pain are when people don't keep up on maintenance. They also told me that the simplicity of working on them makes up for the unreliability. I've wanted a Fiat for a long time, but other priorities are holding me from getting one... or an Alfa Romeo. Check out international-auto.com. They have lots of parts for Fiat, Alfa, Lancia, and other Italians.
