if you can stretch a bit i'd buy a vw polo for about £9000-10000,

Gosh! I didnt realise the polo was still in production, that is a long run.
Has it been continuous or have they re-introduced it ?

That is a big reduction
AhHa ! You are telepathic as well ! cos when this question/thread had run its course I was going to post a new one asking what discounts (eg. for cash) off the rrp/list I should expect these days.

yes i think there has been about 7 in total.

fantastic cars. we've got 2 models, a 2005 model which has required very little maintainance, and a 2010 one which i described before.

a nissan pixo costs £7250 , up! about £8000 and a vw polo costs £9920.

it really is a no brainer for me, if your streched then go for an up / citigo or if you are prepared to push the boat out a little go for a polo.

Hintza said " fiatsupasaver"

I'd not heard of it so I googled and found their FAQ
"Who are FiatSupaSaver?FiatSupaSaver is an Internet and telephone based company supplying discounted new Fiats to the public"

And they dont say what their delivery chares are just "There is a small charge for delivery."

So who does the guarantee/servicing ?
a_n_other Fiat dealer who wont be happy about not profiting from the sale ?

Down't really matter they are part of the Fiat network so have to give you the same service as anyone else.

Pixo 30% more than a Panda
Up 43% more
Polo 77% more

Your right it's a no brainer! Especially when the residuals on the Panda remain strong and it comes with the non interference engine, so not a train smash if the cambelt goes. :cool:

In all seriousness - If that Fiat Panda price is true, then thats one hell of a deal for a brand spanking new car.

I can get good discounts and finance with Fiat Affinity and I cant get anywhere near that price for the Panda.

Il second the Up and Citigo though, they look great cars.

what part of "new" did you not understand ?

All of it.

I can't understand why anyone would spend £6000 on something awful, but that happens to be new; rather than spending massively less on something massively better.

Do you have any high quality antique furniture in your house or just flat-packed stuff from Ikea?

which panda you talking about? it costs from £8900 so more than an up! and £1000 less than a polo.

plus the panda is a hideous car.

so for me, yes, a no brainer.
