Asking on behalf of a mate who is looking to buy a Coupe

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1998-FIAT-COUPE-20V-TURBO-ONLY-47K-SAME-OWNER-FOR-18-YEARS-FULL-FIAT-HISTORY/263535839124?hash=item3d5bf5c794:g:ObEAAOSwk-1aBuTP


Does anyone know this car or the seller? It is up for £4.5k and advertised as low mileage (47k) with one owner for 18 years or so- but it has been on the bay for over 18 months so doesn't seem to be moving...

The Mot history is extensive and apart from brake issues in the main there seems to be little mention of corrosion issues.

Petrol heads - sell all 90's performance stuff.

Thanks Lee- a positive experience then, without issues/problems?

Yep- so I see, sounds positive although we know the places where it can hide lol

Didn't someone go to see this and said it wasn't as good as it looked in the pictures?
I seem to remember it had crap tyres and a dented/possibly corroded bonnet.

I'm sure this seller has been mentioned before with other Coupes & practically the same backdrop in the pictures, & as pointed out none of his Coupes were as good as described. By all accounts he is a weekend spanner man.


I'm an old git & happy with it,most of the time

Yeah it was fine - i'd say it wasnt quite as good as the write up made out - but it was fair for the price no doubt (i was after a rolling project, price suggested it was one... car is without doubt one!)

Thanks to All for the info- I've let my mate know and ultimately he can decide if he wants to part with his hard earned cash.
