General Buying a stilo

[mufc]

Looking for a 1.6 16v dynamic stilo in sprint blue, just wondering what faults/flaws I need to look for when viewing cars?:slayer:

if your buying private ask him when he last replaced the coil packs, had to replace all 4 on mine within 12 months of buying it. at around £70 a time.

Read up on here about the common fault with the 1.6 gearbox.

Rear bushes seem to last about 70'000 miles, its best if they've been replaced recently. If not you could find yourself with a very large repair bill.

If your gona buy a stilo then only get 1 with full service history with history of timing belt change, Water Pump, Gearbox Recon & Clutch kit change. If you get a stilo with high miles and it hasnt had any of these changed then may GOD be with you. If the mileage is within 45-60k then the timing belt is due. I think the stilo is still the best out there for the price range its just ashame they didnt do a 2.0l Turbo cus if they did id take it to the grave with me.

Again; this gets asked several times a week. A quick search will give you more answers than you have time to read.

Well I am buying the 1 in the classifieds this weekend, the sprint blue 1. Full fiat service history and low miles, looks good! Agreed?

it definitely looks good.. but im a bit biased of course. [im sure the JTD crew will be along shortly to 'gently remind' you which engine to go for] lol

good price on that, i was after more than that for mine and mine's same spec but on a 02 plate. mine does have a few optional extra's though. seen some going for £3500 on an 02 plate with approx 65k on clock.
