Hi guys,
It will be my first post here so please excuse my noobiness
After having countless problems with second hand cars in the last 2 years costing me way over £6k in repair bills and write-offs, I've borrowed £8k from a bank to get something decent and new that comes with a warranty....
After visiting number of showrooms and car dealers I quickly realised that for such a small amount of money the only thing that I can really afford on a 64/15 plate will be Fiat 500.
I think I have found a good deal from a franchised dealer - Fiat 500 1.2 S on a 64 plate with 5k miles on the clock. Still got over 2 years of warranty and will include 2 services. Also they will service the vehicle before I collect it for free.
My concerns are that is it too good to be true? Having been in a few other franchised Fiat dealers their customer service and sales people seemed really rude and dishonest. On pre-reg vehicles I was mostly offered stripped down POP....
I will be doing around 400-500 miles a week which leads to much bigger concerns such as fuel consumption and reliability
What sort of MPG I could realisticly expect out of it? Would you recommend buying it tomorrow?
I'm hesitating as this car will need to last me for the next 3 years and I won't have the funds to fix it if something goes wrong....
Many thanks,
