seen a little V reg fiat seicento on ebay with the below description, just wondered if it sounded ok....?
The car is in immaculate condition inside and out for its age and milage. The engine runs extremly well with no knocks or smoke. however engine is over heating problem on longer jouneys(easy fix for intermediate or aspiring mechanic/DIYer) other than tht car is fine
low insurance group and exellent MPG and actually quite comfortable
Ideal 1st car or small runabout
recent new headgasket with oil and coolant change and thermostat and heater matrix
new front wipers
cd player and mobile phone holder
all 4 tyres have very good tread and the breaks are very good
grab a bargain
quick sale needed
The car has coverd 79900 miles with only 4 owners from new. The car comes with MOT till October and road tax till July

'only' 4 owners since new? :rotfl:
Nobody can really tell you anything based on the description tbh - you need to go see the car.0 -
err overheating on longer journeys err leave well alone
how much are they asking for this ?0 -
Didn't even notice that bit - unless it's < £150 and you're a mechanic then yes, leave it alone.0

Personaly I would steer clear because of the engine problem, unless you are very mechanically minded then it could cost more than they suggest. If it's an easy fix then why haven't they had it done?0

The seller has a history of car parts sold, various makes, so I would guess he dabbles,so if he has still got overheating problems it may not be a simple fix.
There will be more for that sort of price, so I'd avoid it.0 -
thanks guys xx0
