Need a mechanic or thermostat for 1981 spider in the Phoenix,AZ area.
Thanks!

I don't have a new thermostat, but I have a garage and I could do it, I suppose.

There is a garage in Tempe called IMM. Located at 430 S. Price. 480-967-7805
They know Fiats and should be able to help if Brian hasn't already taken care of it for you.

Star...are you stranded somewhere here?

Not stranded...I am flying out to look at an "81 to replace my totalled '77.

The seller says it needes a tstat so thought I'd help expedite.

I'd be leery. When a seller states the car only needs a minor repair, why wouldn't they fix it and make the car more valuable? Statements like " only needs a minor tune up", " just needs a thermostat", "one tire is a little low on air" etc are red flags in my book

As always Marks speaks the truth. I would not buy the car with out installing a new Tstat and checking it out. You will either find out it's great or something else is wrong and have a better barganning position. If there is little to no rust and it only needs motor work it's probably still worth buying if the price is right.
