(G) Do I buy or not

I agree it can't be jan as its on a 02 plate .
the mot expires in jan thats why I thought it was jan reg.
How can something that cost £17,000 loose £14000 in under 4 years
I will have to have a think about it now as I thought it was cheap and your telling me its not .
I will stick with my escort (if it ever comes back from the garage)its only been 5 weeks.

Well I didnt buy it so I am still sat on the fence.

If this is 2 dear and only worth £3000 where is there another at £3000 or up to £4000 must be a 2.4 .
any ideas????

I'll have to say I'm amazed that everyone thinks Abarths should be so cheap! Even for a half-decent '02 Abarth I would be expecting £5k minimum (and that would be if they're wanting a quick sale / struggling to sell). The majority available are £6k+ going up to around the £10/11k mark.

If you could get hold of an abarth for sub £4k then I would snatch it up irrelevant of high milage - you'd be onto a winner!

There is this on autotrader:
2002 FIAT STILO 2.4 20V Selespeed Abarth 5dr Hatchback,
this car is fully loaded. 7" TFT colour screen displays sat nav, GSM phone, cd, radio, car settings etc. Dual climate control, PAS, cruise control, auto lights and wipers. Full steering wheel control of all functions. Selespeed gearbox with stick or F1 paddle controls. 84k with full service history. Taxed 03/06 MOT 28/01/06. Must be seen and driven to fully appreciate this car. This is a real hot hatch an an absolute bargain. Must sell due to work requirements. £3,995.

It pretty much top of the range with all the extras too, it also has cream leather interior and the 16" alloys in the smoked finish and is in the navy blue! Lower miles and more kit for the same money, i would defiently say this is worth the asking price with the kit here - as long as everything is a-ok!

Happy hunting

Its not got leather its cloth in need of a valet and wheels are mucky silver
Theres a few scratches on it and it was dearer last week!

Got it in one - the paddles are indeed part of the selespeed setup

Interesting comments about the number of 5 door Abarths around - I suppose they are a rare 'beast'

Soz for long time replying - broken my right hand

Theres a couple more turned up one with 20.000 miles and one with 100,000 miles I wiull keep looking for a bargain

Still looking

Seen any more then??

I am looking at the mo ..... They all seem to be around the 6500 - 7K mark for a 3 Door

Where are all these sub 6K Abarths then ?
