Hi

Seen a pre reg Fiat Panda 1.1 Active for sale

But was woundering that after the 3 years warrenty are up, what are costs like?

Does anyone have 1?

Would you recomend it?

i have a fiat panda 54 plate and love it!!!!

it is a great round town car, and cheap to run.

tax is about £100 a year insurance for 2 drivers is about £180 a year and servicing isnt that expensive either.

If you go to the main dealer first year service is approx £150 and second year service about £250. But you can almost halve these costs if you go to a local garage!! Dont let them bluff you either that your warrenty will be invalid if you dont have it serviced there as that is now illegal to do this.

It is cheap on petrol i think, approx £28-£30 to fill up and get 350mpg round town on that.



All in all its a great nippy car to drive, its fun to drive and it won car of the year in 2004!! Also if the petrol heads of top gear love it as well it cant be a bad little car!!!!

The Panda seems to be far more reliable than previous Fiats, but there are very few that aren't still in warranty so no one knows what it's going to be like down the line. All the signs are good so far though.
