Hi Folks,
My Son has been offered a Punto 1.2 (51 reg) for around £700. I'm fairly car savvy but have never owned a Fiat. So what I would like to know are:
What are the main weak points to look for.
Apparantly this car has had its head gasket replaced recently, is this usual on a Punto with around 70000 miles?
The seller says the engine management light comes on intermittently but nothing can be found wrong at the garage, and it's just passed it's MOT, is this a common fault/symtom on the Punto.
Finally as this will be my Son's 1st car (if bought), are Punto's generally reliable to run on a budget.
Thanks
Wilbie
