Gibbo Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Fiat Punto 1.3 multijet diesel in metallic pale silvery green 3 door 53 plate 35500 miles Taxed and Tested until June 2009 Tax only £35 a year Full service just a few weeks ago and new brakes fitted New starter motor a few months ago Great MPG - I get around 600 miles on a full tank of diesel (approx £45) mixed local and motorway driving. Clean and tidy interior Pics and price to follow later. Probably looking for around £3500, but I will check Autotrader and see what they're going for. Reason for sale: It's just too small for me. I do a lot of outdoor stuff and with three or four of us the boot is just too small for all our kit. The curvature of the roof also prevents me from carrying my kayak on it's carrier.
Edu-IT Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Do Diesel cars give out less emissions? I pay more than £35 tax for mine and it's only a 1.2.
Hightower Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 A 1.3 diesel? I used to have a 1.5 and that would go backwards if you didn't rev the arse off it, so imagine how quick a 1.3 must be?!
Gibbo Posted February 3, 2009 Author Posted February 3, 2009 Do Diesel cars give out less emissions? I pay more than £35 tax for mine and it's only a 1.2. These new modern diesels give out far less. Plus the cheap tax only applies to post 51 plate cars. So even if you have an ultra efficient old car you don't benefit. A 1.3 diesel? I used to have a 1.5 and that would go backwards if you didn't rev the arse off it, so imagine how quick a 1.3 must be?! You'd be quite surprised. It's a light and nippy little beast, more powerful than an equivalent 1.2 petrol!
webman Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 I think its 120g/km or less that gets you the £35. Our 1.2 Corsa we got last September is 121 and we just missed it - table here.
plexer Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Yeah our diesel is about 124 or something just over the limit. One of the new 1.4tdi fabias has an engine below 120. Ben
Gibbo Posted May 6, 2009 Author Posted May 6, 2009 Now reduced to £2600. Need to get it off my drive!
webman Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 ... just another few weeks and I'll be able to get it for a fiver!
Gibbo Posted May 6, 2009 Author Posted May 6, 2009 I wish I'd part ex'd it for an MGF back in January when I had the chance. I don't mind running two cars if they're different.
russdev Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Don't talk me to about cars dam it... Some bright spark (me and better half) decided that only way going to get off our behinds and learn to drive is if we have a car we are pumping money into. Anyway friend of fried was selling a punto with out tax and mot for £150 so thought can't get better deal with that. Anyway just MOT and going to cost coming onto £400. We are holding on to fact that we knew mot would be expensive and that even at 400 plus £150 would pay more than that if brought car with tax and an MOT. Russ
