Now some people will say that we have lost our minds, but.............................................................

we are selling this car on a 7 day lisiting with NO RESERVE and the bid starts at ONLY £0.01! So forget about all of those reserve auctions or auctions that say "this car is advertised elsewhere and may be withdrawn" and try a true auction.

THIS CAR WILL BE SOLD TO THE LAST BIDDER NO MATTER WHAT!!!

PLEASE DON’T ASK ME WHAT THE BUY IT NOW PRICE IS AS THERE ISN'T ONE!!

ALSO WE WILL NOT BE TAKING IN ANY PART EXCHANGES.

WELCOME

We are an independent used car dealership specialising in the sale of high specification, low mileage prestige cars, sports cars and cabriolets. During the course of our trading we take in all manor of part exchanges from the exotic to the unusual and from the mundane to the basic. We now auction the cleanest examples of these part exchanges right here on Ebay.

Hello my name is Luan Hockley and my goal is to ensure that the vehicle you see and read about here is exactly what is presented to to you upon collection. I am ultra fussy about my descriptions as I want you to be impressed not depressed when you pick up your new car. If you have any doubts as to the true condition of the vehicle then I urge you to have a look at my 100% positive feedback profile to see what my growing list of satisfied customers have to say. I never lie and realise that it is not easy bidding a lot of money for something you have not seen, so my cars are ALWAYS as I descibe them and therefore when you come to collect the car if it is not as nice as I described then I will refund your deposit back to you right there on the spot. Now who else on Ebay offers that kind of guarantee?.... Nobody!!

I positively recommend questions, viewings and test drives prior to the end of the auction. So if you have any questions about this car, its history or just want some general information, please don't hesitate to contact me using the email link below or telephone me on 01245 475100 / 07789 813838. My level of professionalism and integrity are second to none. I am very serious about my cars and my customers, so bid often and bid with confidence.

We are extremely easy to get to literally 2 minutes from junction 17 of the A12 in the village of Howe Green just outside Chelmsford in Essex. If you win I will be happy to collect you from Chelmsford Railway Station, or if you are flying then I will happily collect you from Stansted Airport.

Please be sure to read my terms and conditions section below before you bid.

Finally I hope you get as excited about my part exchanges as I do.

DESCRIPTION

This is a Fiat Punto 1.2 Active 5 door presented to you in silver metallic with a contrasting blue interior in stunning condition. However the best thing about this little gem is that I am selling it with No Reserve and the bid starts at £0.01!! Most dealers would list this car with a hefty reserve, but not me!!

EXTERIOR

Outside the silver paintwork shines and glistens. Overall the bodywork of this car is in beautiful condition and it really gives me the impression of a car that has been lovingly cared for. However as I have already said I AM ULTRA FUSSY about my descriptions and therefore what follows is my detailed description of the external cosmectic defects I have spotted, but I want to emphasise that these marks are all very minor and are not really apparent unless you look for them closely. Ok the defects are as follows:- there are a few very small stone chips on the bonnet and front bumper of which most have been touched in, there are couple of very little "ping" dents on the car which could be very easily removed by a dent man specialist, one on the near side rear door and one on the off side front wing. There is some slight kerbing on the wheel trims and there is a slight scuff on the near side rear bumper.(The above minor cosmetic defects are shown in the photographs below).

INTERIOR

The interior of this car is in exceptional and immaculate condition, the seats are all still firm with no tears, wears or stains as are the carpets and engine bay.

"I have to say this car really is in a near immaculate condition and is probably in far better condition than most cars you will find on your local dealers forecourt, so please bid with complete confidence!!"

NO RESERVE

I am starting the bidding at £0.01 and selling it with NO RESERVE to whoever bids last.....Period! I want you to tell me what its worth!

Please be sure to read my terms and conditions below prior to bidding and don't forget to check out my 100% positive feedback profile so you can bid with confidence. Thanks for taking the time to look and remember THIS IS A REAL AUCTION WITH NO RESERVE SO DON'T WAIT TO THE LAST FEW SECONDS TO BID OR YOU MIGHT MISS OUT ON A GREAT CAR, ENJOY!!

WHAT'S IT LIKE?

The Punto's basic design has been around since 1994 - although refreshed many times - yet it's still a top supermini choice with a particularly youthful image helping make it popular with buyers. It's cheap to buy, no-hassle to own, well specced and has a range of willing and economical engines. The biggest attraction, apart from price, is the amount of space you get. There's plenty of head- and legroom throughout, and you can fit three in the back without too much sweat. Even the boot is a decent size. The power steering has light 'City' mode that makes parking a doddle and its easy to drive, well-controlled in or out of town, suspension takes care of the potholes well and doesn't roll too much in corners. It also earns a very respectable four out of five stars in the Euro NCAP saftey awards.

    HPI CHECK

    We invite any independent inspection you may wish to have done on the car, and assure you the car has had a full HPI check (a copy of which is available on request), which means it is clear of any insurance claims, has never been written off, has not been stolen and recovered, does not have a hidden identity and is free of any outstanding finance.

    I WOULD LIKE TO STIPULATE THAT THE MILEAGE IS WARRANTED AND HAS NOT BEEN TAMPERED WITH OR CLOCKED IN ANY WAY.

    MECHANICAL & ELECTRICAL CONDITION

    I have personally driven this car and can assure you that the engine starts first turn of the key hot or cold, it idles smoothly and revs freely to the red line with no knocks or rattles all ancilleries ie starter motor and alternator are working without fault. The 5 speed manual gearbox operates perfectly with no crunching or baulking going into gear and no gear whines or vibrations, the final drive and driveshafts are also quiet and vibration free. The power steering and suspension are precise and taut with no sloppiness, knocks or other undue noises.

    PRE DELIVERY INSPECTION

    The car has been through our workshop and undergone a thorough 114 point Pre Delivery Inspection. Unless specifically listed below under items requiring attention, all the electrical items, ie, engine management, airbags, lights, wipers, horn etc are working without fault.

    Finally I am selling this car with a brand new MOT

    SUMMARY

    This car has a very small engine which will make the perfect first car for someone. The road fund licence for this car is only £120 for 12 months or £66 for 6 months. It has a very low insurance group of only Group 3 which means insurance for this car will be very reasonable. Also, with todays fuel prices spiralling out of control this car also delivers a fantastic combined MPG (miles per gallon) of 49.6! Overall this car really is a lovely example both mechanically and cosmetically and will definately make its new owner a proud one. So please, please bid with complete and utter confidence!!

    SEE ALL FEEDBACK

    ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ATTENTION!

    This is a NO RESERVE auction. This means the car will sell to the highest bidder at the end of the auction. As you bid, keep in mind that there are those on the internet who are known as "snipers". This means they wait until the very last few seconds of the auction to bid, often stealing the car away from the current high bidder for only £50 more! If this happens to you please don't call me asking me to act on your behalf, as there is nothing I can do. (Unfortunately this does happen quite frequently) and I constantly get emails after the close of every auction from disappointed bidders saying they were out bid at the last second. My advice would be to use Ebay's Proxy Bidding System to ensure this doesn't happen to you. Decide on the absolute maximum you would be willing to spend on the car and enter this figure into the bid box, Ebays Proxy Bidding will then bid on your behalf, but it only ever bids as much as is needed for you to remain the top bidder, don't be confused into thinking that it enters your maximum bid amount there and then IT DOESN'T! So there is still a very good chance you can buy the car for less than your maximum bid.

    Remember this is a true auction with NO RESERVE.... the car will be sold to the highest bidder when the auction ends. So don't wait until the last few seconds or you may lose out to a "sniper" and miss your opportunity to own a great car.

    Always ask yourself the question "If you missed out on the car for £50 would you be disappointed?" If the answer is yes then make sure you enter a slightly higher proxy bid Beware of the "snipers", you have been warned!!

    TERMS AND CONDITIONS

    IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ BEFORE PLACING A BID ON THIS VEHICLE

    1. As nice as this vehicle may be, please remember you are bidding on a used car, so you need to make allowances for the vehicles age and mileage. I really do describe all my part exchanges to the very best of my ability, however this is not a perfect world and it would be nigh on impossible for anyone to describe every nick and scratch on a used vehicle. Therefore upon collection you may find the odd very minor (and I do mean minor) scratch, ding or interior blemish that I may not have listed. There is no such thing as a brand new used car, so please be realistic, however I can promise you that this car will be exactly as I have described it and both roadworthy and safe.

    2. All our vehicles sold on Ebay are sold as seen with no warranty either given or implied.

    3.I CHARGE NO DOCUMENTATION FEES! Your final bid price is the price you pay, period.

    4.You are welcome to come and see and drive any vehicle listed for sale, however some cars are kept off premises in storage, please do not just show up and be disappointed if the car you are interested in is not on site.If you want to see one please just call me on 01245 475100 or 07789 813838 and I will make the necessary arrangements.

    5.I require a deposit within 48 hours of the close of auction and collection and payment in full within 7 days.

    6.Please remember this is an auction, you are bidding to buy not look. If you have any doubts please ask me a question via the "ask a seller a question link" or you can send me an email via luan7677@hotmail.com or phone me on 01245 475100 / 07789 813838 or come and see the vehicle. If you are still undecided then PLEASE don't bid.

    7.I realise some people may be unable to meet the above requirements and need to make other arrangements, If so I am flexible but please contact me first before bidding to discuss them.

    HAPPY BIDDING & GOOD LUCK!!
