Was just browsing Autotrader when i spotted this. Either this dealer's been had or he's trying to fleece Jo public!

.ABARTH INTERIOR AND ALL OTHER USUALS ABARTH COMPONENTS TO MAKE THIS VEHICLE SPECIAL AND EXTREMELY FAST

Click to expand...

You win the car if you can spot ONE Abarth component...

uh ohhhhhhhhh

This guy should not be selling cars if he cant even tell his models apart or even worse he can! and he's just trying to pull one over on his oblivious customers.
It's amazing what a few badges can do I was almost fooled even though all the documentation has FIAT! all over. :bang:

But to be fair you would have to be a bit of a nooob to think that this is an Abarth in the first place...

Hahaha thats bloody daft! Doesnt even look like an abarth, just a modded gp!

Well I reported the ad. And so should you guys, before some poor sod gets ripped off lol.

I have sent the Garage an email asking if they are serious, i'll let you know if i get a response.
It says ruddy ' Multijet ' on the engne cover for Christ sake!

Yea ive also emailed the garage. Its just blatent false advertising!

I'd love to see a response on this! The write up in the description makes me think the dealers trying to have people on, don't think iv'e seen a description that excited about a car from anyone! That, or a very desperate cheating car dealer lol

I might put some Abarth badges on my car and then sell it to him hehe

!!

Dom

added my report. FOOL!!!

Pfft it's got an Abarth badge on the engine cover, worth at least 30bhp on its own.

Well they've not responded to my email. Hope someone doesn't get mugged!

Nobody notice the clear lights on the front then.....

Really shouts Abarth with those.... let alone anything else!

Theyve changed the advert. It doesnt say its the abarth anymore, jus that it has the badges and all components and its very special hahaha

love the bit that say's 'EXTREMELY FAST!'

Yeah, seen it now. Still peeved that it lists all usual abarth compnents.
Apparently all the differences between a grande punto 1.9 diesel multijet and a grande punto 1.4 petrol abarth turbo are some stickers??????

so we have all reported it yet auto trader does nothing because they make a lot of money from the dealer?

who's going to contact trading standards then?

Someone who's got far too much time on their hands I'd imagine.
