As it says on the tin peeps, thinking of exploring this option in the Spring, home delivery etc. So has anyone done this before and experiences good and bad? I'm a bit old school and always wish to see the car first and a test drive before parting with my £500 (although I bought the coupe blind shocked ) but this online lark seems to be common place probably due to COVID. I've done a bit of digging and it's buy from a reputable dealer, you still get the 14 day protection etc .

I bought my old Grande Punto on line Alan.

I bought it through my bank at a good discount although I had to wait for it to be built.

It was a straight forward transaction with my part exchange C3 taken away on the same transporter that delivered the Fiat to my house.

We must all do our part for the planet.
I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.

Alan are you talking about buying a used car (for £500?) or a new car?

You had to wait until the bank was built Pete shocked

Only jesting about the £500 budget - just wanted to perpetuate the stereotypical Scotsman wink Budget £7 - £8k and actually looking at a Fiat 500L Trekking, Lounge or Beats. Yup I know a bit of a marmite car but so is the coupe for some laugh
