Anonymous Unregistered A	Hello, I'm new here but have been snooping about for a couple of weeks. I've been thinking about buying a coupe for a while now but am really waiting until the right one for me comes along. I'm currently looking at this on eBay; http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FIAT-PININFARINA-S...1QQcmdZViewItem which has a starting price of £1500. Could anyone advise me as to how much they believe it's worth or will sell for as I don't want to bid silly for it. In addition to this I've spoken to the guy selling it. Apparently he's only had it 4 months and wants to sell it because "it doesn't tow his caravan very well" - sounds like an odd excuse to me and possibly unlikely. He also doesn't have a red key for it (and didn't seem to know what this was anyway). Should I be scared and will this matter too much? Please go easy on me! Any advice is really appreciated from you all.

Plenty of people on here, myself included have never needed the red key - that includes taking the ECU out, disconnectiong the battery etc..... Do a search and you'll find people that can do you a red key on ebay anyway - you dont need to spend over 500 quid to get one from fiat. IMO - if the car is perfect and it's only lacking the red key - then get it. There's a lot more expensive things to worry about like cambelts or turbo's / clutches if your going for a turbo car. It's not the buying cost you need to be concerned with - get a dog that has not been looked after on the cheap and you'll be spending a fortune on it. Pay the money for a good one that has been really looked after + after a year you may well find you've spent the same money that you would have after getting a cheap one, and no prizes for guessing which will be in better condition. Coops with dent and scratches all over the place do look really scruffy IMO - and with body pannels that seem to be made from coke cans it's not hard to dent them.

Anonymous Unregistered A	Cheers for the replies on this guys, as it happens I didn't get the car without the red key.. I'm still looking for the 'right' coop for me though, have seen around 4 or 5 so far but none has yet ticked all the boxes.
