A few minor stone chips in places, the wheels have some curb marks worst of which is on the rear wheel as imaged. All in all a very well sorted example, no expense spared with over £3k in receipts during our ownership. Car is based in W Sussex and available to view most of the time. The car is garaged so mileage shouldn’t creep up much at all. Priced at £7,600

Thanks for your reply. Your car sounds very nice, but I should have mentioned we're looking for a hard top I am afraid. Good luck with it  :)

Wanted / Now found: Turismo or..Esseesse
« on: May 12, 2017, 05:00:45 PM »
As per title, looking for a 2014/2015 car, pref. a Turismo, or a base car with xenon lights (wife wants them). Must have sensible mileage and be in good order. Cash waiting for the right car & happy to travel with 200 or so miles from W Sussex.

Edit to say will also consider a clean Esseesse too, must have the xenons though and good history/sensible mileage.

Thanks for your reply :) Looks like either a standard car or the essesse as you say. Doing some more research and hopefully going to look at some examples at a local Fiat garage. Not in a huge rush as the lease car isn't going back for a few months so time is on our side.

Introductions / Potential new owner in Sussex

Hello! I am researching with the idea of buying a 500 Abarth once the family lease car goes back end of June. I currently run a 911 Carrera S and a Land Rover Discovery, the lease car in question a Seat Leon 184 FR that my wife mostly uses. She only does about 8k miles a year, and as we have the Disco don't really need a 4 door car for her.

We do have two kids though (12 and 4) so would need to fit a child seat in the back, is this practical? I am used to using one in the 911 so guessing it's nowhere near as bad as that! Mostly reading up on the different versions which seems confusing. Probably looking to spend £6-7k as it's going to be a (fun) stop gap car until we lease something else (impending house move so I am reducing outgoings!). Any pointers would be much appreciated.
