Hi all
I need some advice

I found 07 plate grande punto 1.4 8v active sport
Outside car look good just one minor scuff on the back on the wheel arch but it can be polished.
Inside car is dirty
It has one small burned hole on the seat
The glove box needs locking part as it wont close
Driver side door lock needs to be sorted because the door wont close back seats and boot looks alright.
The third brake light pop out so that needs to be fixed. Engine runs smooth
Oil is alright and all other fluids are in correct level and colour and thefe is no coolant in oil.
So only interior needs to be sorted

Car has 72k on the clocks also there is no mot and they want 1000 for it.

So the question is
Is it worth it to buy it ?

The guy said to me that they could do mot.on this car but they aint got time to do it as they are very busy. And also he said to me that if I will spend about £300 on it it will be great car. So Im thinking now that there is something wrong with as the mot say will cost me up to £50 so 250 for fixing everything
 
Please don't take my word but what you describe sounds pretty fishy. They don't seem to be trustworthy people. I can't really tell anything about the car since I don't know much about GP's.
 
The interior says "not cared for". The exterior ha been washed, easy to do, and the oil being clean might say "just been changed to mask issues". No MOT but will need £300 spent could be an accurate assessment, or sales talk.

Walk (or run) away.

Fiats tend to be great fun and mostly reliable, or the opposite, money pits. This one, I think will be the latter.
