Styling White seats

[sandeel999]

Been trying to upgrade my 2011 panda for new shape 2014/15 for Over a year now and i cannot find a decent colour or if i do its got those horrible white seats. This is putting me off buying my 5th panda and causing me to look away from fiat.
all i wanted was silver/black/blue without white seats. Still looking
Im already seeing these cars standing for long periods at local dealers and some independents saying they would have to be very cheap for them to take in as who wants white seats.
Yes i could put seat covers on but i feel the amount of people who would want to buy it in 3/4 years when i want to upgrade again could make prices plummet.
Any thoughts on this.

I hadn't realised they were that common. Only seen a few with white seats (you mean the ones where the bit you sit on is white, rather than the ones with white bolsters & top sections, right?)

There are bound to be some Pandas without white seats at a breaker's yard somewhere, if it matters that much to you. I say, buy cheap, get 'em truly grubby, and then swap 'em before you sell it on.

Panda 2012 upward in a breakers yard. I hope not.

If there was it would be right offs and that would be very few very far between

Well searched this morning on various sites again. 100 mile radius not one dark colour without white seats. Plenty of white and red ones without white seats.

I stand corrected. Good hunting!

You'd be surprised - it doesn't take much for a small cheap car like a Panda to get written off as an uneconomic repair these days. And if the OP is looking to keep it for a few years, and is mainly concerned about the effect of the seats on its resale value when he comes to sell it on, that widens the time-period in which he can look out for one that's being broken for spares.

There's a 64 plate silver 1.2 Easy at Motorvillage Croydon that's done sweet FA in terms of mileage.
It has Charcoal with Red trim.

I'm sure there's a deal to be done on that one.
There's a great saleman there too, ask for Lorenzo, I'm sure he'll sort you out and he knows these cars inside out.

A little dickie bird tells me Glyn Hopkins Romford have a 64 plate 1.2 Black Easy with Charcoal/Red that's got 700 miles on it for just over 6K.

Found one at last. It beige and blue trim. Not quite as bad as white as its duller. Picking it up tomorrow at 9am been a long wait. 14 plate 6000 miles blue
