General Finally found a Cinquecento!

[imola_fowkes]

youve goto understand to pick a cinq carefully ask anybody how many problems a cinq can cause if ur not carefull "im speaking from experience"

 

[Cinquecento]

I would really like to buy VC's exept for 2 problems:

1. Distance
2. Insurence

 

[imola_fowkes]

get someone to take you and do a quote on an insurers site

 

[jamie86]

Insurance...... bah! They don't need to know hey you only live once!


(Paul yes i know it's very irresponsible and illegal)

Ins- www.confused.com

Cheapest i've found

Red (3rd one down) one in Imola's post - there's something funny there. Has the boot from a mk2 but tail lights from a mk1. Badges are on in the wrong places too - has it been rear ended and all resprayed? It is very shiny...

Chris, out of your list I'd go for 1 or 4.

 

[imola_fowkes]

infact now u mention number 4 aint bad

parkers Guide is just that a Guide, if you compare it to what car Guide and classes Guide they all say diffrent prices, prices can also vary depending on where the car lives, see very cheep cars on ebay but they always seem to live in scotland

that red one on autotrader looks a minging car

 

[Cinquecento]

I'll probaly stick with this one and If it looks dodgey then I simply won't buy it!

 

[dave]

but its red people will call you postman pat, an when old bill are bored they play snooker so red cars get pulled a lot more than others

 

[Liam]

Pete,

What's the diff between a MK1 tailgate and a MK2 tailgate?

Did the red or some call them pink clusters not start on the P plates?

It is suspiciously shiny though but John who used to be on Cinqs&Seis had a tidy red N plate. (The turbo that was sold to Steve)

[imola_fowkes]

let him buy his own cinq and when he comes on the forum saying this that and other arnt working or has fallen off we can say we told you so

but no really good look in whatever u buy

 

[Cinquecento]

Well If its a heap of crap then I won't buy it. I'm gonna find out loads about It before I even think about buying it.

 

[imola_fowkes]

as i said earlier get a check on its history

 

[GhostWKD]

mk1 tailgate has a crease running level with top of the lights mk2 doesnt

 

[Cinquecento]

Also why are you guys saying it will be a heap of crap? Just becuase the frount bumper has faded, does not mean the rest of the car is rubbish!

 

[imola_fowkes]

no where just saying its a bit dodgy that the car is cush apart from the front bumper there might be a acceptable reason for that we dont know where just saying becarefull

 

[Cinquecento]

Well I'll check it out on Saturday and see if its any good.

 

[arseofbox]

Get HPi check..always useful.
If that has been in a logged collision, it will show up on there

 

[dave]

hpi check on a 500 quid car is it worth it? lots of cars have had slight dings cat d's aslong as they repaired propper should be ok.
hpi is more for checkin a cars on finance because if it is then you looose all your money, unlikely a car that old will have any finance.

Believe it or not the people here are trying to help you. We don't want to see anyone buy a dog. Make sure you find out if it's been crash repaired, if it has then walk away. There are plenty of good Cinqs out there for similar money.
