Hi all,

browsing autotrader for Panda's (sad I know) when I noticed this new shape one up for sale already.

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classif...radius/1500/postcode/ts260sy/page/1?logcode=p

In case the ad dissappears it is a white Pop with the side rubbing strips, 1300 miles and is up for £7200. Wonder if it was a competition win for someone as these tend to be white cars. Anyway at £7K it still represents a saving over the broadspeed prices listed earlier (albeit you aren't the first owner nor do you get to persoanlise the car)

cheers
P.S This isn't my car by the way, it isn't a sneaky way of advertising
 
Interesting.

I'm assuming no remote locking, no A/C, no adjustable seat, no folding passenger seat back, no Bluetooth connectivity, and no TA engine of course. In other words, except for an office runabout this is a lot of money: I think so anyway. You can get other better equipped and good cars for similar money.

I'm also wondering what might happen to the price of Fiat cars when the Euro collapses into single currencies again. A lot of financial pundits aren't giving the single currency much longer than the new year, after which Italy may be back with the Lira and Italian goods should get cheaper?

Another reason to postpone buying a new car maybe?

I'm afraid the unelected idiots who run the EU (not to mention the elected idiots who let them get away with it) have too much of their own self-importance invested in the euro for a wholesale collapse. They're getting us ready to accept that a Greek bailout is not a disaster but I don't think they'd tolerate any further defections, no matter what it costs the taxpayers of Europe. One of the reasons for Germany being so keen on the euro was to limit the ability of Italian companies - Fiat, for instance - to compete with German companies - ie VW - more effectively by being able to devalue the lire. It worked.
 
That will have most of the 'necessities' I mentioned then. Good :D I'll keep my buying powder dry now!

I would not be at all surprised if Fiat adjusts the spec and prices of the entire range to compensate for the depressed Euro and the fact that, even with the 500 holding up well in Britain, most of its cars are not selling too brilliantly.

Fiat may want to move upmarket, but the 'market' doesn't want to go with them. There are plenty of very good, economical and cheap small cars out there, so Fiat had better stay competitive.
 
Can't see the new Panda fetching more than 5 per cent more spec-for-spec than the outgoing model (prior to end of run discounting) within three months; TwinAir might command a slight premium but that's all.
