Would you buy a fiat punto?

Question

I have the chance to buy a second hand 2002 fiat punto active for 2000 pounds it is in good condition but people i have been speaking to have put me of it a bit what do you think?

Answer 1

I've owned several fiats over the years including the punto and never had any problems, but I have heard of others having nothing but problems. I suppose the same could be said of the vast majority of motor vehicles though.

Have a look at links for info...

Answer 2

faits have a bit of bad publicity,personally i think the rebuilt better than most cars...

Answer 3

Not voluntarily!

Answer 4

i like the kitted up version of the fiet punto...but its all about the inside the car, take someone with you who knows about cars with you to have a look at the car... trust me i had a car a few years ago, and i paid 100's on it it look nice on the out side but the engine was blown on it...

Answer 5

Fiats are decent enough cars nowadays, and like any other 6 year old car, how good it is depends entirely on how well it's been looked after. If it's been neglected, it'll be a shed. If it's been driven carefully and serviced correctly it should be fine.

That said, £2,000 is WAY too much for a 2002 Punto Active. I buy them for about £1000 at auctions, why don't you try it?

Answer 6

Don't bother with Fiats, they're more trouble than they're worth. There's always something to go wrong with them and they can be a real pain to get parts for.............as they say, FIAT stands for Fix It Again Tomorrow!

Answer 7

Ive got a 54 Fiat Punto. It is a fantastic car, great on petrol and so reliable. It looks good its spacious too. That seems a real reasonable price too!! Make sure the car comes with all the paperwork etc and check it all through first.

I think you've got yourself a fab bargain!!

Why not take it for a test drive and see how you get on with it?? I fell in love with mine the second I got behind the wheel!!!

Good luck!

Answer 8

no i wouldn't very unreliable

Answer 9

Good way to waste your money - the Punto and Bravo are nortoriously unreliable.
