Per VINdown's modeling, the FIAT 124 Spider retains an estimated 68% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #88 of 530 cars we track. That is 8 points above the 60% five-year average for Sedan in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
The loss does not land all at once here: the FIAT 124 Spider sheds about 6% in year one and keeps going at much the same rate. From roughly $25,390 it falls to around $17,341 by year five — a five-year loss near $8,049, about $4.41 a day in depreciation.
There is no single sweet spot on the FIAT 124 Spider: it gives up a similar share of its value every year rather than falling off a cliff, so how long you keep it matters more than what age you buy it at. Explore the full year-by-year curve, trims, and true cost of ownership in the Model Lab above.
