good or not good??

[andy]

looking at bidding on this and was hoping for some opinions. I know it has the cra**y engine but with good care and attention they are ok really aren't they? Dude says i may have it for the grand total of £600 is this a good deal in you opinions?

(2 Front tyres need replacing,tracking may need done )wasent it all checked when alloys were fitted 7 months ago
(Would benefit from having a good service (due to sitting for a while)
how longs a while & why?
how much service history is there and to when?
personaly i dont think the alloys suit the car,my opinion,
tax & mot all due next month or so,so expect some sort of bill,check last mot if possible,and also its a 1.4,not the best of them with the mpg,i had one so know,
(Would benefit from having a good service (due to sitting for a while)

your decision,dont jump in head first,theres alway something better round the corner

not bein funny, but i got mine for lees than that and mine is a 1.8HLX R-reg with 90,000miles on the clock and ive done 3,000 since, mine was from sheffield and i got around 500 quid and it all original.
i`d say 600 and odd quid is a bit much for a 1.4 with body kit
need to make sure he`s got service history etc to make it worth that much.
besides mine hadn`t been stood long, a guy had it at his garage for one day before i picked it up, and tbh for what i paid i got a good bargain and its miles better than 1.4 with more toys

FIAT BRAVO, why settle for anything less.

 

[andy]

thats what i was thinkin but since its been almost a year since i lost my brava i am kinda itchin to get back in one guess i just keep lookin. I really want one with the kit already fitted as i am lazy and dont wanna have to the work or get it done the i can just add little bits to what is already there

you should keep looking mate as i would say everyone is right dont jump head first i got my 1.6 for 650 with 60000 on the clock as you know a hell of a more reliable engine and it was standard when i got it in febuary last year so all good things come to those who wait

 

[Darren]

i just had a quick look and there is a 1.9 td on autotrader for 950 with 58000 on the clock now i would be more tempted to pay the extra 350 on this than i would on the 1.4

 

[Dan]

Eww 1.4, nasty get something different go for the Hlx, or diesel!!

 

[Simon]

i came across this car while searchin for new bravo, took a look at it and straight away decided against it

one it seems like it will have problems, dnt buy a car unless has mot for a while, body kit doesnt colour match the car, plus the car is white and it 1.4 so takin all that in mind it a no no

 

[mountainmachine]

Sorry, Forgot to mention the Speedo stopped working

What else he forget?

 

[Lee]

And also, how many miles has he racked up while the speedo hasnt been working??

He also forgot to mention that the rear bench is terrible!!!

> **plus the car is white and it 1.4**

I think white actually looks rather good Hard to keep clean but when properly maintained, it does look different to the usual blues, blacks, reds, etc.

Nowt wrong with the 1.4 Mine was alright. As with anything, look after it and it'll look after you!

I think that the general concensus of combined opinion is "not good".

 

[Metcalfe rob]

Dont do it mate, looks way too shabby and u could get a standered one for that price that doesnt need the work doin to it, and u can pick up kits like the one on that for next to nothing.

Oh yeah I agree its a shed but saying its white and a 1.4 are not (in my eyes) downsides
