About Roadster Salon Since 1999. Roadster Salon has been the Premier restorer of Fiat / Pininfarina spiders in the US. Typically. our cars are built to order from our selection of donor inventory. Each car is lovingly restored to a high standard. faithful to the original example. Customers may select options to tailor their car to specific tastes. Further details about Roadster Salon Classic convertible recreations can be reviewed on our web site. The build process generally takes up to three months. and there is currently a waiting list. Consequently. nearly all our cars are built to order. and only a scant few are available for sale each year to the general public that were not pre-ordered. To our knowledge. Roadster Salon currently maintains the largest selection of Fiat and Pininfarina chassis' ready for restoration in North America (and possibly the World).

PricingRoadster Salon carefully hand crafts about 35 cars per year. detailed to the specifications of each customer. There recently has been a huge upswing in the classic car market for vintage spiders. Typical projects take between 300-500 man hours of labor to complete. However. It is important to note that restored automobiles in general should be built for the love and enjoyment of their owners. They are not hugely profitable endeavors--for the builder or reseller. To value a Roadster Salon Spider along side a used Fiat--or measure by a "car guide" is to miss the point of the car entirely. Considering the quality. workmanship. and warranty. Roadster Salon Spiders are one of the great values in the market today. What is a Spider Basso? Firstly. our Spider restorations typically fall into two categories. Basso. and Avanzato (basic and advanced) Roadster Salon carefully selects candidates for restoration that are already in good overall condition. and meet our critical standards. Cars that require complete top to bottom rehabilitation are set aside for parts use only. Spider Basso models are re-painted in their original color. A color change is optonal at an addtional $2500. All Roadster Salon cars are fully disassembled before paint. Interiors are refurbished. including new upholstery. carpets. door panels and console. A new convertible top is professionally installed. Please see our web site for a complete list of mechanical items addressed in Basso models. Wear items like tires. brakes. and shocks are always replaced. Other key items inspected and repaired/replaced are fuel system. cooling system. suspension. transmission. timing belt. and engine gaskets and seals. Engine compartments are tidy. but not detailed to Avanzato standards. The Avanzato model base price is $39. 90. Ultimo base price is $57. 95.

About Us Roadster SalonClassic Convertible RecreationsAbout Us Pininfarina designed automobiles have been described as rolling works of art. Like a conservator who restores a classic painting to its original splendor—our artisans take forgotten. road weary Spiders. and return them to a time when they were loved and enjoyed. Our spiders are hand crafted by a team of certified Ferrari mechanics and Italian car specialist.

Roadster Salon spiders are the evolution of a classic ideal. built to be enjoyed whenever the passion arises. Our intention is not to make a brand new car. Even our most ambitious projects do not change every nut and bolt. We seek to restore beauty. improve reliability. and retain practicality. Roadster Salon Spiders are meant to be driven and enjoyed. not just shipped from show to show. We currently offer four models intended to fit the needs of most customers. From the austere Classico. the high value Basso. premium Avanzato model. to the exotic Ultimo--each package offers superior value for the dollar.

Custom features. options and color selections are yours to decide. The process is interactive. You dream it. we build it. LUXURY AUTO GROUP/ Internet remarketing solutionsBuying a car at a dealership can be daunting. High pressure salespeople. Limited selection. Adversarial negotiations. Not much fun. But buying a car on the internet has its own unique challenges. The most obvious concern is an online shopper's inability to test drive and evaluate the car in person. While internet pricing can be attractive. some feel that the unknowns outweigh the benefits. Horror stories about flawed vehicle histories. incomplete documentation. misrepresentations. selective disclosure. and title problems make many potential buyers cringe. The staff is your eyes and ears. We are marketing company representing our own inventory. sourced from some of the finest luxury car dealers in Chicago. Our commitment to complete customer satisfaction is unwavering. Internet Marketing PhilosophyIn our changing marketplace. internet sales have become a vital component to every dealer's sales profile. The internet provides us with a low cost venue to sell select inventory at near wholesale prices without compromising the resources of a dealer's retail sales operation. Internet car sales can take several forms. such as online classifieds and auctions. The most popular. and arguably the most challenging. is Internet sales. Our listings are generally offered on-line between five and ten day time frames. We have represented over 1000 fine automobiles on the internet during the past ten years. The vast majority of these vehicles were sold without the buyer seeing the vehicle prior to his commitment. How was this possible? Our success can be directly attributed to our unique ability to evaluate inventory with consistency. insight and professionalism. This talent extends beyond our hands on assessment of a vehicles cosmetic and mechanical condition. It also includes our research of various data bases to determine past road history and service records. More than half of the vehicles we are asked to represent are rejected immediately because of obvious defects or concerns. An additional percentage fails to make the final cut following our research history. Our company randomly collects/studies data from past internet transactions. We have surveyed customers about their online experiences. Direct interviews and focus data are also compiled in an effort to better understand the Internet consumer. We have worked tirelessly to upgrade and improve our services. from the way our vehicles are screened and selected for Internet sale. to delivery and aftercare procedures. The lessons learned are insightfully applied to our Internet Marketing Program. Only the most fully sorted pre-owned vehicles in our inventory are presented through our Internet marketing program. In conclusion. regardless of venue. it all comes down to the quality of the inventory represented. While cliché. you can never pay too much for a great car. It also follows that a bargain price does not assure satisfaction. Luxury Auto Group knows the difference.
