General 10 reasons why I should buy a punto...

[Milks]

ello all

I've just planted my 306 Cabriolet into a fence so need a new car, saw a shiney looking Punto HGT Abarth on a 02 plate with 20k on the clock in the garage forcourt going for £4195 which seemed reasonable.

So then, what makes a Punto a good car? Does that seem a fair price? And what makes a Punto a bad car?

Any thoughts would be appreciated, will be gutted to see the Cab go...

Well, I thought it would be a bit silly if I said that :spin:

 

[helpimonfire]

plus, they're fun to drive, not like corsas, fiestas and other small cars.

So yeah, go buy a Punto

How about i give you 1 good reason........

If you buy a punto hgt you will get to see that " what the fcuk " look on peoples faces when you whip there arses off the lights :slayer:

 

[Milks]

Aye its the looks of the thing that got me (thought they were xenon lights!), though I still need to find about a grand to buy the thing, don't really want to pull the credit card out as I've been trying really hard to pay it off. What about the price I gave, does that seem reasonable? I know the garage pretty well and they've always been trustworthy

Damn fences, the farmer that pulled me out told me I'm the 83rd person to come off there in 3 years, council won't do anything about it until someone dies

 

[dazzdog]

I think that is quite reasonable as it is an 02 plate, take a look on autotrader. What colour is the one you have seen?

 

[dazzdog]

Nice sprint blue one on autotrader for £2995

sweet

its a bright red one, the interior is dark grey and blue with shiney bits

is it possible to turn the traction control off? *flashback to fence incident* ummm... no, scrap that one

And the friendly technicians will help you out if you should (god forbid) have a problem

 

[wolfracepunto]

Most cars fitted with TCS/ASR have a button to turn it off so you should be able to.
