My daughter has a 2013 fiat 500 and lives in south eastern Melbourne and finding a mechanic who is good with fiats is a problem any recommendations?
@turn6garage64019 күн бұрын
We use Zagame's for our Fiats and we source the parts directly from Europe (same suppliers at very competitive prices). Italian Job could be helpful as well as Melbourne European, the latter has been great with all our Euros. Key is having someone who knows where the parts are at the right price. 1.2 and 1.4 engines aren't hard to work on, the main way to keep costs down is knowing where to find the bits.

I'd say age and the auto box hampered the 121? I owned a manual '92 bubble 121 from new and it easily did well over the ton
@turn6garage640Ай бұрын
Definitely there is an age and condition factor here as the 121 was an abused example while the 500 has been a well maintained example. The 263,000 hard km and only 3 gears hampered my poor old 121. If it was a 5 speed it would have been on par with the 500. I do want to do another 121 once the car yard is cleared either for sale or rental.

I have a 2009 facelifted version of this car in Kosmos Black Metallic and black leather interior. Yours is a pre-facelift model. The post facelift models we a step up. Not only the leather but better air con, automatic, heated seats....stuff like that. It too has a working sunroof. The trick is to keep everything clean and lubricated. It's only an Automatic though. The car had one previous owner who had it regularly serviced by Mercedes and it came to me with a complete service history, all of the books and sales documentation. It was like buying a new car. The rubbers are all still flexible, the interior is immaculate. It currently has no faults. The paintwork is still immaculate. It's an incredible city car. If you can find one as good, I'd be surprised. As you say, most have been abused and parts are expensive from Mercedes-Benz. It is though, every inch a Mercedes and I will keep mine for as long as I am able.
@turn6garage640Ай бұрын
The later As were definitely better. '09-'11 model year As (mid 2008 on) are a step up in terms of quality and spec (same for the equivalent Bs too as I have found). My one is a March 2005 build 2005 model year car so it is one of the very first ones and in many ways it shows that. '05-'07 model year examples seem to show more faults in terms of trim body and mechanicals. That constellation of faults with switches coming loose, fading screens and sticky sunroofs seem to cover all rough ones of that period that I have seen. You got a good one, there are a few single owner full Mercedes history cars and as long as you look after them, they are spectacularly underrated used buys. Hope you keep enjoying your A.

@turn6garage6405 ай бұрын
Handling was good on our K13, there was a bit of understeer but that's expected for a front wheel drive econobox. For our car, the good handling partially had to do with the Continentals put on it. The dead rubber it was on originally really didn't help its cause, a good set of boots would really get the most out of the K13.

We are being properly bent over for pricing. I would buy a European, Japanese or Korean car for the same reasons, but many budget conscious buyers moving out of older, cheaper Polos are looking at price, price, price. I wonder what would happen if someone came in with a completely base car with few options and did a $14,990 driveaway price do to the others?

I wanted a car as good as one of my all time favourite - the classic mini minor panel van. I got me a 2001 1300 MANUAL Demio and ripped the back seats out straight away. Magnificent vehicle! Cracks 110 kph easily @ 3500 rpm. A perfect update for the 21st century and best of all - FACTORY CASSETTE/CD player. The glory of analogue sound is worth it alone. Get one if you can find one. Make sure it's a manual and you will never be sorry.
@turn6garage6408 ай бұрын
Glad to hear you love yours. I am hunting out manual Demios, specifically 2001/02 cars but nothing has come yet. 1300 or 1500 as long as the car is in reasonable condition (unlike the one I had). The auto Demio is too sluggish for me and the input shaft seal issues make doing up one not particularly viable. I can imagine with the sseats down you can get quite a lot in the back.

@@turn6garage640 Honestly haven't even bothered looking at a 1.5 because I am cheap. Mine had 160k on the clock & I had to travel 500 k's to get it, but was gobsmacked when it easily went by 125kph before I eased off - & that was with rear seats. They really are heavy! Only 2 female owners and all country miles with full service history. V.cheap 3 years ago. A long way off 200k still and only issue was an oil seal to the distributor. I got lucky with a mechanic who recognised it quickly. Good luck, there's one out there, just stop praising them. It's our secret. It also sleeps two, full length, comfortably.

Here from my 2010 Kia Rio JB 1.4 petrol. Basically the same car with a ton of interchangeable parts. It's a dream to work on and service. Tons of space and simple design (no direct injection, turbos or intercoolers etc). The only real fix I've had to do is change the clutch slave cylinder due to water ingress under the rubber boot which led to pitting and pressure loss. My only personal gripe I have is the 1.4 g4ee petrol engine isn't the best motorway cruiser. 70mph is around 3200 rpm, a tad noisy.
@turn6garage6409 ай бұрын
Definitely looking at adding a JB to the Carshare fleet. Size and practicality plus they seem to be cheaper in manual guise especially than the equivalent Getz. Glad to hear you are liking yours, the Getz also cruised at 100km/h at 3000rpm and it was a bit on the noisy side. Economy was good though even with the noise.
