Looking at an abarth gp, on a 59 plate with 79k on it, what should I look out for apart from the gearbox? Does it carry most of the problems as my grande Iv got just now ?

I had mine (ex-demo) from Apr 2010 - faults: gearbox rebuilt at 4K (last month), 2 coolant leaks (2010, 2014), one wheel bearing changed at 4K, one clean of aircon fan (leaves stuck in it). Thats all in 5 years. Apart from the 'box, all normal wear and tear I'd say. Somebody will be coming along shorty to give you more details about theirs. Good car, I'd say! (providing you manage to find one which was not trashed excessively)

Found one , it's rough, had a few resprays and passenger side skirt peeling off, not intrested in it now

But thanks to Melanabb for the info, maybe?

Yeah mate , was in a rush when I replied, didn't mean to be ignorant

No worries, no need to thank me really. I hope you find a good one, they are great cars and very understated and rare. Good luck!

It was helpful information , thanks for your time..

Hi, was it the 59 plate that was rough and had been resprayed?

It was in hillington mate

The Hillingdon one has been reduced dramatically. Maybe they had too many people walking away.
Shame as it looks nice in the pictures.

Yeah , well I got my new car in March, and it's still there, next time you look at the pics, look very close at the front reg, it's been damaged and they never replaced it

Just had a look, see what you mean!! What's worse is the plates are their own branded ones.
