- Hi hope you're all keeping well, sorry for not posting in a while, I've been extremely busy! Hopefully you enjoy this video walkaround of a Fiat 500 I bought from BCA in Newcastle! The MOT ran out on the day, further updates will be on my next video! Enjoy
note the flashing mileage - Either needs Blue&Me module or a Proxi Alignment
Interesting I'll get the garage to have a look at that. If not I know a good Fiat specialist
Mines doing that too bug I ignore it as it's meaningless lol 🤣 I've got the Blue and Me thing too
Proxi alignment done all working good now, thanks for the heads up! He even sorted the sensors all for £60! I'd highly recommend Andy Petch if you're from the North East, specialises in Fiat, Alfa and mainly Abarth
@@FlippinMotorsUK cheers 🥂 glad you got it sorted , sadly I'm in the North East
Yeah avoid the pop model - no blue&me, no air con, no alloys and colour coded trim - I wish I’d known the lounge was the one to have
Yeah they always sell much better. Very colour and spec dependent for a quick sale the 500s
Yeah the Pop is bargain basement poverty spec lol 🤣
I always thought the Sport trim was what I really wanted.
Then I found an Abarth...
@@Milnoc Abarth costs a lot more though , to find a 10 year old Abarth would cost you £3 grand more than buying a standard 500 and if like me you only need a car to get from A to B then it would be pointless owning the Abarth version , another reason being the paint on these Fiats chips easily , stones from the road etc do a lot of damage sadly
Look likes it needs a cambelt ? stickers not flapping on cover !!!
My mechanics going to pull the cover off have a look, same on the Sandero I bought just for peace of mind
Strange as i have a 2013 Fiat 500 and it has drum brakes on the rear? and its a lounge edition , I paid £3 grand for a 2013 version but 1 big problem ! the gearbox is knackered , luckily i found a guy who can fix it for £700 hopefully he can get it back to its best.
They are very common for gearbox issues sadly! Is yours the 1.4? As far as I'm aware all the 1.4 engine ones have rear discs and a 6 speed gearbox
@@FlippinMotorsUK Ah mines a 1.2 and drums on the back , im just annoyed that i didnt listen to my gut feeling not to buy the car , only good news is when i get a new logbook i can flog it onto we want any car for near what i paid for it lol
@@christineayres7199 that's when I end up buying it when it's in BCA 🤣 The Corsa I bought today was a We Buy Any Car one!
@@FlippinMotorsUK Good idea if you can pick them up for a grand fix them then flip em on for a grand profit each time 😊👍 sadly I have no idea about car mechanics or I'd put a new gearbox and clutch in myself , the weird thing is I tracked down the old owner she used to deliver for Evri and told me it's been making the grinding noise for over 3 years since she had it 😱 so yeah shame the dealer that sold me it never told me what was wrong 😞
@@christineayres7199why didn't you just get your money back of dealer ?
Ive got a mazda 3. Nice thing in white. Diesel. 80k miles. Not a sniff. On cheaper side too.
I had a blue one lovely bright thing, sold in days, loads of interest 61 plate, but it looked cheap as it was about 120k. Lad kept it a short time as it was a temp car and really struggled to sell it after for similar money!
@FlippinMotorsUK mines 13 plate in pearl white. Very tidy. I think its up at 3800. Trader values at 4100
@DaleSteel they're a smart mans car. Not mainstream but a great buy over Focus, Astra etc. Sadly there's not a lot of smart buyers out there 🤣
@FlippinMotorsUK true. Its like the fiat 500s. They ain't a great car but guaranteed you'll sell it straight away
@DaleSteel it's the Vauxhalls up here people love for some reason! The 500s are very colour and spec dependent though!
