Yes, you read this correctly – Fiat is back in the States after more than a 20-year hiatus and their second offering to hit American shores is a convertible: the super-compact 2012 Fiat 500C.

If you can imagine taking a normal Fiat 500 and sliding a peeler from the top down towards the rear, then you'll have an idea of what the 2012 Fiat 500C looks like when the cloth-top is folded backwards on itself. The top retracts at speeds up to 50 mph at the touch of a button for easy access to the sunshine. Because the side windows remain intact, wind noise is kept at a minimum, while structural integrity remains strong. The 2012 Fiat 500C is seven inches shorter than the Mini Cooper, but much longer than the Smart ForTwo.

Available in two trims, Pop and Lounge, the 2012 Fiat 500C sports a tiny 101-horsepower, 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine that uses Fiat’s MultiAir technology, which offers 10 percent greater fuel efficiency and power by varying intake-valve lift, not just the valve timing. The engine is mated to a five-speed manual transmission, while a six-speed automatic is optional. Even though it’s a tiny little thing, the Fiat 500C has sport-tuned front and rear shocks, and independent front and semi-independent rear suspension which means that the 500C is no slouch in the bends. Another benefit to having such a small engine is that it receives good fuel economy, 27-30 mpg in the city and 32-38 mpg on the highway.

Feel free to order the 2012 Fiat 500C in any flavor you like, as it features over a dozen combinations of cabin colors and an array of interior accessories from Chrysler’s Mopar customization division. Remote entry, a CD stereo, auxiliary input jack, power windows and locks, air conditioning and cruise control come standard, while automatic climate control and heated leather seats are optional.

In terms of safety, the 2012 Fiat 500C includes seven airbags (driver’s knee airbag and two-row side curtain airbags), active front head restraints, antilock brakes and an electronic stability system.

The 2012 Fiat 500C is peppy, sporty, and fuel-efficient urban trekker that’s perfect for those sunny days.

Secret 1
Consumer Incentives

Zero percent financing, employee discount, cash back, out-the-door price tags...

Most dealers work hard to offer the public competitive prices. These incentives can grab your attention, but they can also obscure the actual terms you're getting on your purchase.

How can you fully understand incentives to get the lowest possible price on your car?

Secret 2
Finance & Insurance

Most state franchise laws prohibit manufacturers from selling cars directly to the public, so the dealer will be your middleman. But in terms of financing and insurance, you can choose a bank or the dealer directly.

How can you determine what's in your best interest?

Secret 3
Additional Costs

Destination charges, taxes, license and title fees, advertising fees... When going to a dealership, you must ask for an explanation of any fee you don't understand. But you need to choose your battles wisely. Your local car dealer may have taken a loss or slim profit along the way, and your fighting over something like a doc fee when the deal is nearly wrapped up may be counterproductive.

In any case, there are many fees and charges in the sale process: some inevitable, others questionable. How do you tell them apart?

Secret 4
Trade-in Value

If you currently own a car, it probably represents profit. The question is, whose profit will it be?

With few exceptions, you'll get the most money for your used car by selling it privately. That's because dealers pay wholesale prices — not retail prices — for used cars, and they sell them at retail.

Your current car's value can be used to lower the price on your new car. However, most people underestimate their used car's value when going to a dealership. How can you maximize your value?

Secret 5
Dealer Holdback

The car manufacturer holds back a fraction of the price of all vehicles the dealership sells. Then, it returns the money to the dealership, usually on a quarterly basis.

Dealer holdback began its life as a safety net that ensured the manufacturers would have a security deposit of sorts if a dealership missed payments, and the dealerships would have money on hand to cover overhead costs when the holdback was returned.

How can you take advantage of dealer holdbacks to get the bottom line price?

Secret 6
Dealer Incentives

Unlike consumer incentives, dealer incentives are factory-to-dealer incentives that reduce the dealer's true cost to buy the vehicle from the factory to below invoice.

Manufacturers offer these incentives on a regional basis to generate sales on specific models. These incentives are sometimes referred to as "spiffs," and they can touch off competition among dealers to move slower-selling stock.

For instance, a dealer incentive may kick in when a certain sales target is reached, with each subsequent sale resulting in a higher factory-to-dealer rebate. How can you benefit from that?
