Well you can buy pretty much any of the Puntos available at the moment on Auto Trader  ;D

I don't really look too much at cars for sale now I've got mine, but I would say you might be able to get at the newest a 13 plate 595, maybe a high mileage 14 plate, assuming that's what you're after, and going off the fact my '14 Punto was 10 grand.

There's not really any Abarth that isn't decent, although I suppose that does depend on what you are after. You aren't going to get a 695 with that money I would say, but you can probably get any variant of the 595 for sure, and all the Puntos available (Grande and Evo) are going for less than 7 grand, they're obviously a bit bigger, personally have a better driving position and they normally have a little more grunt than a 595. There is also the exclusivity factor, there are less than 1000 Puntos on UK roads, compared to around 10k 595s and 695s. The tradeoff with that is that there is less stuff available to do with the Puntos when it comes to mods, and it is a bit more work too, whereas there are more modded 500s than you can shake a stick at.

Hope you do find a belter of a car, and welcome to the AOC!

Hi Lee, Welcome the AOC.
As per the comments from James, Punto`s available within your price range, 595 will probably set you back more.
I have owned  Punto Abarth , a 595 Comp and now a 695, all 3 great in their own right , however i have to say the smaller car is much more fun to drive ( just my opinion )
Where are you based ?    check out a local dealer to test drive a couple of models, it might help you decide on a model variant. You may have to adjust your budget to get exactly what you want.  Good luck , hope you find your ideal car.

The pearlescent white is called Funk White.

You should find a sticker on the left hand side of the tailgate with the paint colour details on it.
