Possible Issue with Fiat Grande Punto

MaccaHallam

I noticed yesterday when driving my car is making a slight clunking noise that I can feel as well as I steer round corners.

Wondering what this could be? I did try to get it looked at yesterday but everywhere was too busy to look.

I've had nothing but problems with this car since I bought it. It was 3 years old at the time but is 5.5 years old now.

I'm seriously thinking about getting rid of this car and getting a more reliable car. In my HP agreement I am able to give back my car to the company I bought it from so long as I have paid half the finance amount. I'm currently £60 away from this figure.

The car is worth much less than the settlement figure so this seems my best option.

As for a new car I'm not sure which route to take. I have little money so I could only afford a basic deposit, I'm also thinking getting a new car might be good as the car should be more reliable?

Just getting my thoughts down, if anyone can advise me with this it would be much appreciated.

Even new cars breakdown. Cars with long warranties maybe an option But that means you maybe
tied into dealer servicing and parts prices for some time.

I think the car will need to be in good order to return it?

Broken spring? Drivershaft/CV joint? Wheel Bearing? Brakes?

£2000 is more than enough to waste on a car for me. Keep it 4 or 5 years and sell it for half what i paid.

My current car just over £2000 in 2009, Costs me about £600 since i bought it. All new brakes and a few performance tweaks in that price.

if you took a 5 year finance deal on a 3 year old car that would suggest the terms offered were not perfect
so step away from the car and consider this
if you return the car by just walking away who do tyou think will finance you?
all cars develop faults i call them washing machines with wheels
get your car looked at get the finance paid off and move on:)
