(G) Did I miss a bargain?

I've been keeping my eye on a pre-registered 1.4 T-jet Sport in Maranello Red and the 18" alloys with 48 miles on the clock at my local dealer for £11,995.

I see it has now been sold.

Hey ho......I'm not really serious about changing at the moment.......but I thought this was a really good price for so much kit.

So........did I miss a bargain? I console myself by telling myself they would have offered me a poor trade-in price for my '07 Panda 100HP with 10,000 miles. And the fact that I've already owned two mk 1 bravo's, and HLX & HGT in the past.

Good finance deal out there at the moment I see.

That 150 T-Jet sport lists at £15455 new, so a bargin it was at £11995
Did it have any other options?
How is the Panda 100HP?
Looks like one hell of a lot of fun to me,
What colour and extras has it got?

I did think so when I saw it.....just not the right time to change the 100HP - maybe this time next year. I get itchy fingers at the 2 year ownership mark.

As for the 100HP - it really is a lot of fun for the money.....pretty rare up here so far - but that suits me. A couple of issues to-date...bit of a groan from brakes on reversing and 'creaking' noise from steering column after 10,000 miles (being replaced next week under Warranty).

But nothing to spoil the ownership experience too much.

Spirited drive and immensely 'chuckable' into corners at any speed.

Electroclash Grey.....no 'extras' necessary in my opinion - happy with how it came out the box.

It's what FIAT tend to do best - nippy, small cars.

The grey you have and the blue are my favorite colours,
I have not seen many 100HPs down here either? or Bravos for that matter?
The general public just have'nt cottoned on yet I guess?

more minis are sold than all fiats combined so dont expect either car to become a common sight; but isnt that a good thing?

Thats one of the reasons I bought my Bravo, I wanted to stand out from the crowd and drive something with a bit of flair!
