Buying a new car - which one would you choose?

[Unlight]

Which car would you choose?

I'm about to purchase an Abarth 500 for my girlfriend, its come down to a choice of two :

Car 1. Black Abarth - Milltek exhaust and remapped to approx 180bhp, mileage 14k with full leather.

Car 2. Grey Abarth - Compltely standard car, no modifications - full leather, 7.5k, absolutely mint

Car number 2 is in slightly better condition, two months newer, is completely standard but is slightly more expensive (around £500)

Any opinions?

Car 2, purely because the remapped car is more likely to be thrashed about in the running in period

yes, if you want the mods then get them done yourself

Thanks, thats helpful.

So the general thoughts are go for the standard model, even though it's more expensive?

£500 for something newer with half the mileage

Good point when you put it like that. The remap + exhaust though is probably cost at least £1000-£1200 though.

Added pictures of each colour.

Is he going to be doing that remap and exhaust as soon as he buys it? If so, get it. There is nothing in it, they are both barely used.

Am I missing something funny, in that a female actually wants a half decent car?

Oh right I thought it was a bloke hence partner not girlfriend or wife

I think Fox is alluding to the fact the people shouldn't call their female other halves 'partners'.

I'd go and see both, 14k is still bugger all..

Not really an option. Both involve a flight to get to, so am buying from detailed photos/descriptions. No other way round it unfortunately!

A flight to pick up a little fiat? Do you live in the outer Hebrides?
