    How much it set you back?

    Was looking at these for a long time in England as the paddy spec is laughable :pac:

    Sorry, only saw your post now... It was €14k. Amazing machine to drive!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,925 ✭✭✭GvidoR


    Picked up the most bangernomic bangernomics I have ever picked up. :D

    Paid €250 for it.

    It's a 2001 Fiat Punto with a 1.2 engine. Runs nicely.
    Has NCT until 12/2015
    Mileage is not sky high - 138k
    Has some cheesy mods (such as awful tint job, weird gear knob and some other things)
    Tyres are decent
    It has some cheap HID kit
    Nice Pioneer head unit with USB and AUX (there was Gwen Stefani album in it :eek:)
    Somewhat decent speakers put in the parcel shelf
    Had a petrol can and a little tool box in the boot
    The body is a bit rough though.

    Felt like driving a van with those dark tints. :P

    (oh... and it has better looking plates than the Volf :pac:)

    Brilliant brilliant little cars those Puntos. Driving my sisters at the moment and they really are lovely little things :) Handling 8/10 but unfortunately power is only a 2/10:P

    It's not bad for a 1.2 engine, very nippy for city speeds. Speaking of which, that city button is fascinating. :P

    I find the gearing quite tall in them too, makes them surprisingly good on the motorway :)

    I would love to have a proper go in a 16V sporting :D

    Does that just lighten up the steering? Drove an auto Panda once and thats what i took from it.

    Heheh, it's not needed really. The steering is light enough with the city mode off.

    Oh really? Well, it does from that angle... the front... not so much :P

    250 for the punto? !? Savage deal even with a gwen stefani cd. Why can't anyone on here get decent free cds?

    I got a Bruce Springsteen one with my current car. I was happy with that even though twas a copy! :D

    GvidoR, bargain of the year that punto. Whats the plan? Tidy up and flog it on? I remember the television ad for that punto when it was launched. They called the city button a girly button. Imagine the chaos that would cause these days!

    Yup. 250 cash.

    I haven't used CD's in quite a long time. The two best head units I have (1 Kenwood which I bought brand new and one used JVC) don't have a CD player and my laptop doesn't either. I just play my own music (through USB or AUX, depending on what I'm driving and what I have with me) or listen to radio in the car.

    The plan is to drive it while the Volf is getting repaired and then once it's back on its feet wheels, I will sell the Punto, leaving the Volf as my main/daily car and then look for a pre-1985 project. :)

    I remember you saying that actually, id be happy with that. ShadowHearths sugababes cd muSt rank pretty high in the sheet cd list.
