Yes, I love it, it is such a girly car and if you have a boyfriend you can be guaranteed he will never want to borrow it, pink don't stink!!!

It was a good, excellent value small car, but someone spoiled it by fitting a body kit, big alloys and respraying it.
A 1.2 Punto Mia is the base model, should be worth about £1900 tops from a main dealer with a full years warranty, or about £1600 privately, so you are paying at least £1100 for a naff bodykit, some alloys and a respray.
Your £3000 should get you a Punto 1.2 16v Sporting of similar age, which has more power, more equipment, has alloys and a bit of bodykit as standard, will be easier to insure (unmodified) and easier to sell on.

if the seller has to highlight adjustable seats as a feature of the car then it cant be that good a car and at the age of the car you can get a much better deal. If you want the car` that badly put an offer in of £2000 and ask for a 12 month warranty, seriously there are not many people who will want it due to the colour, so the seller just might take the offer as there is a good chance it will be on the forecourt for a while, going down in value all the time and they know it, so give it a shot you have nothing to loose

Regardless of colour this is not a good car. The Fiat Punto is not known for reliability or build quality. I would also question their safety in the event of an accident. In a recent minor shunt my car suffered a cracked number plate. The Fiat Punto needed a new back bumper and new tailgate and this was at less than 20mph. If you have fallen in love with it I can't stop you but I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot barge pole.
Sorry.

well it's not to my taste though for a car of it's age it is a little much ! though a word to the wise make sure the dealer gives you 2 keys one of them being a red one which helps to set your engine management system up , if it hasn't got it don't but it cos it can cost up to £800 quid to replace as if any thing goes wrong with the car you need this key it is essential for repairs if it doesn't have this this key don't buy it he is ripping you off and any car dealer will know this and don't take any b/s cos it's necessary and puntos are reknown throiugh the trade for it ! otherwise happy pink motoring!

way over priced. that is the trouble with women full stop . they like the looks and don't care what is underneath until they get to know the thing and then are dissatisfied and want to get rid of it . where as a bloke will let his brain rule and check the mechanics, age, price, resale value etc.etc. what a brilliant idea.... go down the scrappy, get a load of old bangers , paint them pink and sell them for a fortune to girls.

Seems over-priced; you should check how many previous owners, and if there is a proper service history. This is the sort of car that may have been driven too hard.
Good luck!

It does seem overpriced to me. I wouldn't have paid more than £2,500 for that vehicle and that age (but NOT THAT COLOUR) ;-)
To be honest, the colour of the vehicle would probably REDUCE the asking price as it's such a niche market for vehicles of that colour.
But, having said that, if you really do want the vehicle then go for it. Supply and demand I suppose.
Good luck.

love the car it's a cool colour but do think it's overpriced. are you getting any warranty with it?
for £3000 you could get a newer car but if it's what you want and you're happy go for it.

Far too expensive. You would be better off buying a nicer example in a different colour and having it painted. If you buy this you would just be paying for the colour. Sorry
