i had a savings account for 6 years and managed to save up 5k, spunked it all away on a fiat that lasted me 6months before it broke down

message from this story - dont invest in fiats
A Fiat Punto was it ? I've heard bad things about those cars.

Cheap Italian shite is what Fiat are

yes it was mate

only realised 3 months in that the dodgy gearbreak was down to a faulty engine that had been serviced and tested on several different motors and was thus in technical terms "knackered out"

Along with shit steering, a flatulent exhaust i pretty much just gave up on the thing and took a 3.5k loss within 6months from a local second hand trader who no doubt fixed it up and sold it on for a ridiculous profit
