as u know im urgently looking for a car. just been looking on ebay and came across this lil thing. ive placed a bid on it and as things are im the highest bidder. anyways do ya think it looks like a good buy? from his feedback it looks like he sells other cars aswell so i guess thats a good thing. so has anyone elso bought cars off ebay and found them to be a good buy?

Can you not see the 3 dent lines down the door :dead:

and the scuff on the rear bumper just above the strip.

I wouldnt go near a 1.6 8v sporting mate! I went to look at nearly 20 1.2 16v sporting's before i got mine, 9 out of 10 are absolute dogs.

Would advise you to at least go look at it if you really want it :dapprove:

i kno its a fiat/s**t with wheels but ive spoke to the man on the phone and ive asked him about the dents and that and his told me were they all are etc. and im ok with them as its just for getin me to work and back for the next 2 months.

I mate bought a Rover 214 SEI on ebay once. When he picked it up the engine was knocking like a jehovahs witness! On the 200 mile trip home it used a full tank of fuel, two lots of oil and a radiator of water. Before lots of white smoke and breaking down 200 miles from home. Got beaten off the lights by an articulated lorry the engine was that fcked.
Hope yours will be ok!

make sure it comes with the red key! it resets the immobilizer and they cost 500quid from fiat!!

immobilizer will only be set if you unplug the battery btw, so its not too critical
