I'm thinking of buying a Fiat Barchetta to replace my wifes Seicento Sporting. Before I commit myself to doing the deed though, I was wondering if anybody could point me in the right direction as to any pitfalls of Barchetta ownership, along with any known or common troublespots that I should look out for when I've found one.
Are there are any colours to avoid.
Are there any advantages or disadvantages to buying a non UK car?
How easy is it to get replacement parts?
The reason for the change is that she has owned the Seicento since new and has only done 26,000 miles in 5 years, so I am going to change it for a car that I would drive more often (without looking an idiot, I'm 6ft) and have a bit more fun while doing so.
I would be very, very grateful if anyone could also show me some pictures of the Barchetta but the type that are not normally shown in the classifieds i.e. the boot, under the bonnet etc.
I'm in Scotland (where there aren't many for sale) so I appreciate I may need to travel to buy a Barchetta, that's why I'm asking so many silly questions.
Thanks
