I think that's my favourite car pretty much ever. It doesn't matter how often I see pictures of it, I still get excited. When the 458 Fezza came out, it instantly became my number 1, but then within but a few months, the Fezza was sitting a distant third behind the 8C and the dreamy Duettottanta (yes, I know it's a concept). The 8C is staggeringly beautiful.
Agreed. One of my faves. Looks amazing from every angle. |

That's following Swindon Town - I'm an exile!
Replacing it with an Alfa Romeo Mito Cloverleaf.

Nice looking cars but Alfa's are pretty unreliable and expensive to fix. |

At least one of you has to buy a Yugo. No Yugo, I go.

Being an insurance bod, you'd hope Walrus has AA/RAC/Green Flag/Dad's tow bar chucked in with his policy.

I was considering buying a Mito when they first went on sale. Girly as fuck when you physically see them though

Or free from the dealer for three years! It's on a PCP deal so I'll probably keep it the three years then chuck it. The PCP deal means I can be childish about choice and not have to worry about reliability/residules etc.! I saw it on Friday... stunning, cannot wait to get my grubby mits on it! |

Walrus, might I suggest you MOT the car early as not many people will concider a car with only 1 month MOT. All very well you saying it needs 2 tyres but many people would be put off that it could be costly to MOT should anything else be found needing put right.

Very true Mr. Reaper, but I already have a decent price fixed on the car for part ex from the Alfa dealer, so my attempts to sell it are to see if I can get slightly more. £5k for a Twingo GT is a steal - most are going for £6k+, albeit with lower miles (it was 10.5k new). Mine is also the blue one with the chequers, which is the one most would want. Unfortunately, the Twingo is not a popular car and mine would appeal to quite a specific audience.
I know I have as much chance of selling it on here as I do pulling, but I'm trying to hit enough people to find that one boy-racer who's looking for a fast but cheap-to-insure car. The car is sweet as a nut, but yes having an impending MOT is a gamble and to be brutally honest, not one I can be arsed with nor do I need to risk! I've had it serviced recently, and I'm told that the tyres are the only thing that needs doing, but obviously I'm not going to be able to convince a potential buyer that! I have invited inspections in my adverts online.
As a guide, webuyanycar.com offers £4,100. This is in the region of the part ex price, and WBAC are renowned for knocking down price on delivery. Anyone know of any good webuyanycar alternatives?
