| popping out  | Bye Bye Punto I've finally had enough of my punto after there was a popping noise out of the exhaust i took it to the FIAT garage and basically said that whoever fitted the new back box has just stuck a crap cheapo one. no matter how much i love the character and styling of the punto i am now looking for a new car. can anyone give me a rough price as to how much mines worth? it a 1.2, 8v, Go, 2001 reg with 33000 miles and a 6 cd changer with the 100w sub in boot? i was thinking around £3500 private and about £3000 trade is that about right? has anyone got any reccomendations for a new car? i have a budget of around £3000-£4000 and i dont want a clio, saxo or corsa. i have seen a renault megane 1.6 sport 51 reg for about £3500 are these good cars or just crap? thanks dan

| popping out | Re: Bye Bye Punto the car has been to the garage about 4 times since i've had it (about 9 months) and the gear box is starting to go. i would be looking for something with either a 1.4 or a 1.6 engine im not too bothered about dirt cheap road tax as long as it's reasonable. i would want a car with good fuel econamy though.

| popping out | Re: Bye Bye Punto Ok so i've changed my mind (i do it alot) i've looked at most of the cars in my price range and i don't really like any of them so it looks like im sticking with my punto for a bit longer. I asked them about a 4 year service and they quoted me about £230 to give the car a good check over and all the usual stuff like plugs, oil change, leads does this sound like the usual price?
