"You are looking at my Fiat Cinquecento Sporting in Red.
I will get straight to the point and say that I dont think it will pass the MOT which is why i'm selling.
From my own pre-MOT checks I expect it to fail on misalignment of the fron headlights (point too low down), one of the rear wheel hubs is worn (still perfectly drivable but a little noisy), the handbrake may need some attention as its not great (had a new cable 2 months ago). Also, the horn currently doesnt work because of the aftermarket steering wheel (standard wheel will be included with car) but the horn itself works perfect, just not connected.
Other than that the car drives excelent and doesnt have any engine problems or electrical problems.
Cosmeticaly the car is very clean with only the front end having any damage. The previous owner had a front end knock at some point but from inspection it doesnt actually seem to be anything major, only a dent to the bonnet and one of the wings (wing dent really unoticable as its only a slight warp in the metal rather than a dent. Bonnet is more serious but it still closes and locks, just looks nasty). The front end knock might be the reason for the lights being misaligned although I dont know, stupidly I never asked the bloke what he hit...
As you can see from the photos, I have stripped out the rear of the car and installed a race floor. The full rear interior will be included with the sale, ill even refit it if you require, however if i have to remove the floor ill probably end up breaking it so wont include it in the sale unless left as is. The front end interior is fully colour coded in blue and silver and looks gorgeous! There are no tears or rips in the seats but the rear bench has a slight cig burn but its not really noticable as its in the fold so is covered up most of the time.
As you can see, the tax runs out at the end of august. I will retax the car at the buyers cost however if you dont want it retaxed then I will have no choice but to register it as off the road, it will then be at your own risk as to whether you want to drive it home. I dont want to face a £40 fine should you not tax it in time or fail to collect before the 31st. IDEALY THE CAR MUST BE COLLECTED BY THE 31st OF AUGUST!! IF YOU CANT THEN DONT BID!
The MOT runs out on the 15th of september.
I will be on holiday till the 18th of august so wont be able to answer any questions until then. I have been as honest about the car as i can be andit truely is a good car except for the mot failures.
I'll even mention that the exhaust tip is rusty BUT the system isnt. it just looks silly at the back
but wont cause any problems.
Good luck! email me with any questions you may have, i may check my mail on holiday so you may get an answer sooner. no viewing im affraid until the 18th.
Good luck! No reserve"
