Good thought. I'll have a look.

So can I have my reward!🤣🤣🤣

I suppose I never think about trade in value as when I'm finished with a car, the only one who'd buy it are scrap dealers.

Also known as WBAC.

That'd probably mean them offering 75 percent of what they'd offer if say it was an off (Capri white I think it's called🤔) white one like mine. That's not such a loss worth bothering about. Maybe it would be if the car was 5 years old, not 15 years old, meaning we're talking sub £1,500 prices in such 'old' cars.

No, they'd expect to get it for peanuts, as they'd claim it was worthless, and they're doing you a favour taking it off your hands

It's a pink Fiat 500 in seemingly good nick! Not all are car colour biased!😉 I had a, think it was 'harvest gold', BL Maxi in the late 1970's, early 80's. I thought the colour was hideous and still do! I bought the car because it was in good nick, even though I hated the colour! Hence me paying for it to be re-sprayed in bright, almost fluorescent orange!😉

Believe me, if a dealer can come up with an excuse to rip you off, they will, personally I think your current Fiat 500 is a far better looking car than that hideous monstrosity!

I see some very expensive cars in 'battleship grey' and 'primer grey', as I call them and think why buy/rent/lease whatever, costing many thousands for such a drab look??!!!😲 😦 'Graphite grey' is quite nice as it has a metallic and classy look about it, but cars in matt grey look bad, in my opinion.👎

Don't buy one then 🙄

Abarths (indeed all Fiats) look best in broom yellow 👌

 

[Drago]

Abarths look best as a new owner drives them away while you pocket the cash.

I'm going to have a look at it tomorrow afternoon. I'm no mechanic, so what should I ask the seller? 🤔

Er, why single me out?! Am I the only one that's said grey cars are shoot??!!! 🤔

Ask him about the history, ask him about the MOT advisory 2 years ago that mentioned minor corrosion on the subframe and what was done to remedy that. Ask him what road tax band it falls in.

You are aware that despite looking quite compact its barely 20cm shorter than the MX5 you dismissed for being too long. Thats less than the span of your hand.

I'm surprised about it being close in length to an MX5. What really put me off about an MX5 was the rust bucket potential! I'll make a note of your questions Drago to ask the seller. If it looks shoot on first sight and impressions I'll make my excuses and do one ASAP!😉

Any car beyond 7 or 8 years has rust bucket potential.
