I'm currently looking at getting a Grande Punto to replace my aging MK2b. I was looking at some classifieds and came across an advert for an '08 plate punto, and I must say the price blew me a way a little

Just under 3 grand for a model with not even 25,000 on the clock, immaculate bodywork and nothing that seems untoward. It even has body coloured door handles! I am considering having a look at it but I can't help thinking

Why is it so cheap?

Cheers

Alex

gumtree by any chance?

Gumtree? Say what?

Cat C/D write off?

Probably still worth the money if it's repaired nicely.

Probably. I would have to ring up and have a look at it closely.

Can't be too careful these days

Link?

Ah. It's not on anymore. Oh well.

Matter dropped I guess

Was probably one of those scams. They get you to bring 3k take the money, stab you and run. Disaster averted imo.
