I bought this from eBay last week to replace my girlfriends Fiat Seicento, however I fixed this at the weekend and she wants to keep her first car now (broken clutch cable)

Below is a copy and paste from last weeks listing:

“BLACK FIAT PUNTO HGT

LOTS OF WORK SPENT
MOT, EXCELLENT RUNNER

HPI CLEARED.”

Basically I collected the car washed and valeted, bought 1 year’s road tax. The previous owner refurbished the head but there is a noise from the engine (sounds like a diesel) I am told by my mechanic this is the camshaft variator (£80 from shop4parts). The car also has damage to the drivers door lock (not the door skin) I don’t know how much this will be to replace but I imagine quite cheap from fiat for 1 new lock. The car is secure and can be locked from the passenger side.

There is also an engine light and the car won’t rev past 4k rpm, I have read the code and it is the Air flow meter in the throttle body, this is a £30 fix and you can unplug this sensor to rev as normal however it’s best to replace this.

My dream car is an ALFA 166 but I put this on hold while I bought this for £1336 last week and added 1 years road tax, however I have found the car I want and put down a deposit but need to sell this car to help pay for it, this is why I am listing for just £800 NR as I need it gone!

I am listing for 5 days to give bidders a chance to view before auction end however may I remind you that you bid to buy not to view the car. Non paying bidders will be reported to eBay and bidders with less than 5 feedbacks must call me first.

Any questions or to arrange a viewing call 07894 593 512.

I reserve the right to end the auction early. The car is also advertised elsewhere.

Happy bidding!
