General Should be an Abarth owner in the next week!

[blackJTD]

as the title says, ive pretty much agreed a deal with Mr Fiat (okay, i think im paying over the top but i love this car) on an "04" manual abarth .

it is pretty basic extra wise, but im not too bothered bout that - the way it drives is what impressed me! couldn't help but spin the wheels!

what extra's over my old JTD should i expect the only obvious difference i have seen so far is that digital air con thing which looks far too complicated!

ive attached a pic of the colour (not the car!):

p.s. does anyone know if Fiat take mastercard?

Great news mate, glad to have you back with the insane people

So you have the Orion Grey by the looks of it

 

[Ben R]

Wheyhey! Nice one Matt! I'm sure you'll love it.

 

[blackJTD]

I think so Matt, there are a few different greys IIRC, there's a Techno Grey too and that may be dark like the orion grey

 

[blackJTD]

nice1, seriously though, does anyone know if fiat take mastercard?

 

[Stu DemonD]

Possibly, but they may charge a handling fee based on a percentage of the cost - unlike using a Debit card which is a flat fee, irrespective of amount...

Why not just phone them and ask?

 

[Stu DemonD]

Btw, glad you are back with us

So what does it feel like compared to the remapped JTD? :chin:

Nice looking motor, wish you good luck and happy fault free motoring with that little baby.

I doubt a dealer will take a credit card for substantial sums of money as they pay something like 1.5% in fees, you can but ask.

Good luck and enjoy!

Thats how I paid and yes they charged me £45 for the privelidge.

 

[Stu DemonD]

I can't blame then charging - they are only passing on the merchant charges to the customer, although I am sure you could do a bit of haggling.

Get mastercard to transfer it to your bank account and use your debit card-

or

withdraw the cash and give em readies!

can you get mastercard to transfer to your bank account? hows that work?

 

[thepottleflump]

For £1500 I'm sure they'll let you do it, otherwise you'll just walk away won't you I thought you were going to do the whole lot !

If you withdraw cash on credit card they will charge a fee + interest.

 

[Big Black Stilo]

ring em up and see if you can do it

I know it can be done because of my job- it depends if your card providor wants to!

 

[blackJTD]

im with capital one...

 

[Big Black Stilo]

I dont work for them so I wouldnt know

Ring em now- theres bound to be someone there!

 

[blackJTD]
