Grande Punto or Grande Castle???

AppleSei · Feb 16, 2006

Summer planning. I either buy the grande punto in the summer..but then i have to live at home for a few years or leave the car for a bit longer and try get a flat somewhere and then buy the car at a later date

What do you think i should do?

If you move out of your parents' into your own gaffe, you won't be able to afford a new car, so I would get the GP immediately and still get all my cooking and cleaning done for free

AppleSei · Feb 16, 2006

I would still have to do my own cooking and cleaning at home and pay rent

At the minute the 1.3 multijet, think its in active form, but im hoping for more guises of it by the time summer comes round, or whenever i purchase it.

Depeneding on finances the 1.9 could be a possibility but at the minute the 1.3 is winning

beau · Feb 16, 2006

hmmmm, not sure, but still punto- the 1.3 is said to be a very good engine, i was just checking you wasnt getting a 1.2

AppleSei · Feb 16, 2006

No it is ****e

i wouldnt mind the 1.9 sporting however. Ill have to wait and see, this poll will help with my final descision

ahhhh, misread

Steven · Feb 16, 2006

The 1.2 is not a bad engine. It's a revvy little engine that pulls well and is economical and reliable. Having said that, it would be hard to make a case for buying a 1.2 over a 1.3 Multijet Diesel.

It depends whether you're talking about buying a flat or renting a flat.
If you're talking about renting, then get the car, as otherwise you're just spending money and getting nothing tangible for it.
If you're talking about buying, then nice as the Punto is, get the flat, as it'll depreciate less, and may even appreciate in value. Also, if we have another housing price boom, you probably wouldn't be able to afford to buy anywhere - it's bad enough now.

Get the car, enjoy yourself whilst you can plenty of time to be old and sensible later.

When do you plan to start Steve?

Well, if the Sei is fine then I'd say stick with that for now and look towards a property. Then you'd have your own place and a car (Unless your sei is going towards it?)

Why do you need a brand new car.

Get the flat, and a second hand mk2 punto.
