Description

One (original) owner: me. Looked after by a single specialist garage (R. Proietti in Islington) for a decade, and they can vouch for the vehicle. Whole new gearbox recently installed (2022 or 2023, I can't remember), due to a surprising glitch with the one originally put in at manufacture that took ages to diagnose. Extra chrome details on bonnet and side mirrors really does look nicer than the stock version. Automatics are somewhat rare, and this one has worked well, and with the new transmission, promises to do so for years to come. This car has been pretty trouble-free for a Fiat. Got rear-ended in about 2013; was fully repaired right away, and I kept expecting to have issues with the replaced hatchback or tail lights, but never did; water-tight and as-new. The dashboard unit with the speedometer and gauges was replaced TWICE under warranty by the dealer due to faults, and this one's held up. Overall: an excellent and nimble city car, particularly great as a second car or for a first-time driver. Basically, everything that could go wrong with a Fiat 500 already has been dealt with on this well-maintained car, so hopefully you won't have any issues. Pity to sell it, frankly, but I needed something bigger, and keeping two cars in central London isn't feasible. Gave it a full valet a couple weeks ago, so it's very tidy. Two keys, including the original remote lock/unlock one and a second "manual" one.
