I've noticed that you've got Esseesse Springs fitted. I've just purchased a set and wanted to know if you used the standard shocks or not.

Post by: ScorpionOf88 on January 31, 2015, 08:44:33 AM: Yes its on standard shocks mate :)

Post by: KK_96 on January 31, 2015, 11:42:08 AM: Don't know if we have many AGP owners, the 500 hasn't changed but I think a lot of Punto owners have APE's now :)

Post by: Andrew on February 09, 2015, 04:23:47 AM: I'll mention it to him next time we speak.
Title: Re: Where's the other AGP owners?
Post by: Skevy on February 09, 2015, 09:33:19 AM: And then there were three.

Can't understand where everyone is ???

According to howmanyleft.co.uk there are 340. Not including esseesse!!
Title: Re: Where's the other AGP owners?
Post by: Brian1612 on February 09, 2015, 01:36:26 PM: I think that will likely include Esseesse models as the kit is fitted by the dealerships, not at the factory, it is still registered as a standard Abarth Grande Punto. God, like 300-400 Punto Evo compared to like 6-7k of Abarth 500s... never realsed how exclusive the punto's are 8)
Title: Re: Where's the other AGP owners?
Post by: Skevy on February 09, 2015, 02:40:47 PM: Hadn't though of it like that! Future classic maybe? ;D
Title: Re: Where's the other AGP owners?
Post by: atlgibson on February 10, 2015, 10:26:15 AM: I always wonder whether the Punto's will be a future classic, according to that how many left website its saying that there are 132 Supersport's
Title: Re: Where's the other AGP owners?
Post by: Brian1612 on February 10, 2015, 12:19:05 PM: Will be plenty more around the world though... they are more popular in mainland Europe aren't they?
Title: Re: Where's the other AGP owners?
Post by: atlgibson on February 10, 2015, 01:23:31 PM: I'm not sure i couldn't really answer that one
Title: Re: Where's the other AGP owners?
Post by: Brian1612 on February 10, 2015, 01:26:34 PM: When you consider how many are likely to be sold in Italy... I can't see it. They aren't special enough. I would imagine limited editions runs such as the Tributo, Maserati and 50th Anniversary along with the Abarth Punto Scorpione would be the most likely to increase in value in the future.

I would buy my car outright and keep it for the future if I had somewhere to store it... Sadly I don't have a garage somewhere to put her away in to protect her so may as well just enjoy her while I have her.
Title: Re: Where's the other AGP owners?
Post by: atlgibson on February 10, 2015, 01:42:25 PM: I'd love to keep mine and believe that it will one day be a future classic but seems most agree with you that it wont be which makes me wonder whether its worth it
Title: Re: Where's the other AGP owners?
Post by: Skevy on February 10, 2015, 05:24:51 PM: I think it's popularity abroad would be very much the same as here. If you think about its competition such as the Corsa VXR, Leon Cupra, Fiesta ST, Clio Sport. People are more likely to buy a car with a proven track record. Abarth as a brand is still very much unknown.
Title: Re: Where's the other AGP owners?
Post by: atlgibson on February 10, 2015, 05:41:41 PM: the fact its relatively unknown does that add/remove future value or class it as a classic?
Title: Re: Where's the other AGP owners?
Post by: Colin on February 10, 2015, 07:44:04 PM: I don't think the percentage of Punto models sold is that different to what it has been in the UK..... it was always going to be more exclusive than its cheaper brother.

Is it a future classic? Absolutely........ but will it be worth mega money? That I doubt.
Title: Re: Where's the other AGP owners?
Post by: Skevy on February 10, 2015, 11:05:44 PM: A bit like a original mini copper then. A classic but not worth big bucks unless it's in mint condition.
Title: Re: Where's the other AGP owners?
