2000 Fiat Punto ELX 1.9 JTD [AC]

I've owned my Punto for nearly 3 years now and have used it for my weekly long-distance commute to work. It returns between 55-65MPG depending on driving style.

The 1.9 JTD engine is very strong, starting and driving perfectly. It's a fairly detuned engine, producing just 85bhp from the 1.9 turbo diesel lump, but will remap to 120bhp with ease if desired. It has plenty of torque and is great on the motorway. The 5-speed manual gearbox is in perfect working condition too, and cruses at 2000rpm @ 70mph.

The mileage is bang on average for the age of the car - 137,000miles. It has been serviced annually with intermediate oil changes. Since buying the car I have serviced it myself (full service every year and oil 6 monthly) and I have kept the service book up to date.

This is a very clean and tidy car for its age. The interior is pretty much spotless and it's served me extremely well over the last 3 years but I just want something bigger now.



Details

5 months tax, 11 months MOT (no advisories)
137,000 miles
Full service history
Air conditioning
Electric windows
100W factory fitted subwoofer
Kenwood CD/radio (original included)
Central locking
Original owners handbook, service history book and spare key


Additional parts

Eibach coil springs
Fiat 'Sporting' alloy wheels (unmarked)
Pirelli P6000 tyres all round (2.5mm front, 6.5mm rear)


Also included


Kenwood CD/radio
Haynes manual
Touch up paint kit
Boot floor liner
Original floor mats
Set of 4x Bosch glow plugs
1 new oil filter


Bad bits..

The paint has chipped away from the bottom of the wheel arches but as the body is galvanised, it has just got a mild brown tinge of surface rust! The passenger door lock needs cleaning/lubricating as sometimes it wont lock with the central locking (have to lock the car from that door).


Price - £800


(If you don't want the wheels, I will swap them for some original steel's and knock £100 off the price)
