Try this lot for buying a new carbuyacar

Had a quick look on AT and the dealers are selling similar cars to yours for 7.5k

So 6.5k trade in? 7k private? Something like that?

How is your no claims? How old are you? If you have 0 no claims and are quite young, it may be worth keeping the 1.4 for a year, giving you time to save up the £1k AND get some discount on your insurance. Then you might be able to get some kind of ex-demo with all the bits, 6 months old dirt cheap!


26 yrs ols, full no claims, insurance is just pennies....money per month isnt the problem its just the fact that I am going to lose £1K but like Wrighty said "You only live once" and I love driving so I want a better car the Active Sport is so uninspiring a drive, gutless and soft.

The dilemma is do I take the £1K hit, Which I cant afford - might need to have a car boot sale etc - or just grin and bear it for two - long and boring - years

As you may be aware I bought a brand new Fiat Punto grande 4 months ago.

I bought the 1.4 Active Sport and now I want rid of it.

I want to upgrade to the 1.9 Sporting but i think I will have about £1000 negative equity.

I need other peoples thoughts on this, should I stay or swap, take the money or open the box!!!

Really like the styling of the punto but want something faster and more fun. The 1.9 is 130 bhp with sports suspension. Test drove it yesterdaya nd was much more fun to drive than the active sport which is 70bhp and has jelly for suspension :lol:
