thanxs xx

i have just had a quote to paint a standard car pink and put body kit on is £2500 al together so that make the price resonable wudnt it

Answer 1

Im sorry but I have no idea about price, but I just wanted to say that car is soooo cool, I love it!

Answer 2

OMG that car is about £2500 above what it is valued at, The body kit makes it look tatty and the colour reduces the value. The price has been hiked up because they know some gullable girl will pay over the odds because it looks CUTE! And most of all its a punto...There rubbish...check the car reviews, you know it makes sense.

Answer 3

For its age and mileage it is certainly overpriced. There must be other pink cars around and I think your best bet would be to keep looking. If you are really desperate then make them an offer and see what the result is. Get a knowledgeable friend to check the car over to make sure everything is in good working order.

Answer 4

It's very unusual and will defo get you noticed but nearly 4000 for a punto is really expensive,you could purchase a much better one for that price. It might be worth buying a different one and costomising it yourself,then you can have it exactly how you want it.

Answer 5

Not to be a hater but, jesus PLEASE DONT GET IT. It is VERY overpriced, and the body kit just makes it worth even less!!!! Your colleagues are right. Plus, they are very slow. The bodykit just ruined it. All it does is make the car heavier. Its a commuter car, not a show car.And it sounds like you want performance. Your not going to find it. I suggest you go find yourself a nice muscle car(charger r/t, mustang, camaro(pony car), or an import. No, by import i dont mean a accord etc. I mean like 240sx, 300zx, mk3(or mk4 if you REALLY can afford it) supra, maybe a dsm if your up to it.

Answer 6

The car looks ok from the photos, I would first try and get some quotes from the insurance companies to see if you can afford the insurance. You will need to tell them about all the modifications as if you have to claim not telling them may cancel the insurance.
When you go to the garage try it on with then and give them a cash offer of £3,000.00 haggle with them and you will probably get it for £3,400.00
Good luck

Answer 7

That IS too expensive, I would think with such a limited appeal YOU could name your price for buying it, the dealer would be willing to listen to an offer.

Be careful though, resale values on Fiats are low and a pink one again would have to be priced to sell.

Good luck.

Answer 8

Well over priced the standard car with 50k miles would retail at around £2000. take into account the car has been modified your insurance will go up. i would offer him around £2750 - £3000 tops.

Answer 9

My God...its so..er so... PINK!!
It does seem excessively expensive, I would definately try and get the price down. Our local garage sold a Punto for £1,950 just one year older than yours, not in bad condition. I know cos it belonged to my partner.
I would be very very careful if I were you.

Answer 10

You could by a standard one and do it up yourself with the extra cash and it would be cheaper.

That car std is worth around £1500.00

The bodykit and paint wont cost £2500
