Hi There - I'm new.
I am in love with a Fiat 500C 1.4 its 2009 edition but that means it has a good bhp, it's got a great livery and is convertible, I'm going to see it on Saturday.
There are however 50K miles on the clock and its £5K
Are there any watch-outs I should be aware of? Or anything I should ask the dealer?

Ask for proof the cam belt has been done, £250 otherwise, wires that go to boot lid are a potential failure (well documented ) check everything works especially the ac and other electrical items, look underneath for RUST on suspension and brake components/sump using a bright torch that you should take with you, if you've not bought many used cars take someone with you who has, pull the dip stick, look at colour and quantity, a good owner will have 4 matching tyres, though two different types front to rear are ok, but not side to side.

You don't say which model it is - the lounge is more desirable than the pop and sells for significantly more.

Whichever way you slice it, £5k is a lot of money for a 7yr old car. If you're not well versed in looking critically at secondhand cars, I'd strongly recommend you pay for an independent engineer's report before committing to anything. If you're a member of one of the motoring organisations, that would be a good place to start.

Your price seems to be typical market value(will go down in winter)

If you can do without the open top, possibly no hard thing in the UK then this can be got for almost your budget here's a nice(looking) one far newer;

What is your budget? You could consider a TwinAir C as well as 1.4. You'll find newer cars with less miles.

Check the back box of the exhaust, although double skinned those outer skins rust like a biatch!
