Year?

 

[A[L]C]

sorry, 99

 

[Morba]

£250

I would have thought in good condition it was worth more than 250. The sporting is more sort after.

 

[[TW]Fox]

I agree, must be worth at least £260.

Check out Parkers and then see what they are going for on AT.

CAP Black Book has it up at;

Clean: £1000
Average: £820
Below Av: £650

Obviously take into account current market conditions for used vehicles...I think £250 is low

99' is the original Punto shape so not very much, very good condition for the year I'd say £500, poor condition yeah about £300. Nothing more really as you can get the Mk2 now with a lot more toys and goodies for under £1000.

The car im looking at is this one

Its in really good condition, he'll take £900, but I was thinking this was still slightly high.

Having trouble finding anything else around that price range worth looking at though.

About double what it's worth personally. A friend got a 2002 Mk2 Punto with FS and 48k on the clock for an extra £250 a few weeks back.

Money is better spent on a Fiesta or somethinguber reliable (jap).

 

[BigglesPiP]

Due to the tyre and the short MOT, £600 to £700.

 

[Liquidfox]

My 01 plate Punto Mk2 was worth £1000 in decent nick, 71K on the clock, all the above work, so i'd say around £600-£700 too

Don't buy a Punto, seriously, they are rubbish. Get something else.

Even Perzy advises against this one and he's a Fiat nut. Don't buy it.

Such as? Looking for something around that size for about £800/£900.

thanks for the advice guys

Mrs doesnt like the fiesta shape.

Mrs doesnt like the fiesta shape.

What shape are we talking about here? The Punto is hardly a looker.

You're buying a car for £500. Aesthetics don't really come into it.

However, avoid the Punto - I owned one as my second car, it was terrible.
