Has the family expanded or the car shrunk in 700 miles?

[Nero5oo]

Well up until now it's only been used as a runaround by my wife when she didn't have one of the many cars I get to sell to drive. She loves the 5oo and so do my kids but we're going on a driving holiday and the 5oo is too small with all the luggage etc plus the kids are growing up fast, hence bigger car required. I never intended to keep my 5oo for ages anyway.

Seriously, if anyone is interested or knows anyone that may be interested then get in touch as I'm open to offers, otherwise I'm just going to trade it in and then a bargain will be gone!

Good luck with sale, sorry tthings haven't worked out with the 500. What car are you thinking of buying?

[Nero5oo]

Things have worked out fine with the 5oo. Luckily, I've now got the use of an Audi RS4 for my driving holiday so that'll do nicely if not a bit expensively on the juice! Will now keep the 5oo for a while as, as I said earlier, the wife and kids love it and they're the ones who use it day to day, unless I have anything to sell whereby they use that to preserve the 5oo, hence the low miles. Quite fancy an Abarth though. Does anyone know what the wait is if I put a deposit down now?

The first customer Abarths should arrive sometime in January 09. My local dealer had 5 deposits for the car. I'd guess you should be ok for a car for delivery next Feb if you get a deposit down soon with one of the Abarth dealers.

Thanks for the info. Had a quick look on the UK Abarth site last night and although I live in South Buckinghamshire only 9 odd miles from Fiat UK in Slough my nearest Abarth dealer is in Romford East London/Essex!

Surely there must be one opening up a bit nearer? I know of at least two local garage sites that have been empty for a while and I'm sure Abarth would clean up in the area I live in.
