Beavis Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 It looks like the punto is destined for the great scrap yard in the sky Just to much corrosion in the floor area i am told. So i need a cheap run around to replace her. The sad thing is she still looks quite tidy compared to some of the crap you see on the roads . But what do i buy next to replace with? Quote
Maccaman Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 How about a younger Punto, this one has done you very well. Quote

Maccaman Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Or you could go for an original Mini as you indicated in another thread. Quote
Beavis Posted November 30, 2009 Author Posted November 30, 2009 http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/701155.htm I was may be thinking a diesel this time round though, but not sure thats the right move Or you could go for an original Mini as you indicated in another thread. That thought had occured to me Keith but i was thinking the mini would be a little project car to do with Ryan Quote
Digsy Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Or something a bit more fun... http://www.mx5nutz.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=41316 Quote
Vik54 Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Aw - poor Punto! Do you do enough miles to justify a diesel though Dave? Quote
marzman Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Has she got any tax or MOT? Im after a super cheap car for the gap between selling my zed and buying the right bmw Quote
Beavis Posted November 30, 2009 Author Posted November 30, 2009 Aw - poor Punto! Do you do enough miles to justify a diesel though Dave? Probably not Vik last month for tax and mot on the punto i am afraid. Cant help but thinking that the mot stations are been told to fail older cars, the same place mot'd the car last year and there was no mention of all the corrosion then and its only done 9k since Quote
Stew Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Buy something that Ryan can drive Dave. Then you can hand the keys over! Either that or you'll end up stumping up more to by something he chooses anyway! Quote
Carbon Coops Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Where abouts are you ??? i could come and have a look! i have a welder Coops Quote
Ebized Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Aw - poor Punto! last month for tax and mot on the punto i am afraid. Cant help but thinking that the mot stations are been told to fail older cars, the same place mot'd the car last year and there was no mention of all the corrosion then and its only done 9k since Tester had probably just watched Top Gear and the Lancia 'issues' and came into work ready to fail the next Italian car he had to check Quote
