Yo0u need to shop around, but they will take into account past claims, how much the claims have been for etc.
Remember you have to declare accident to a company for 5 year as you do with point and convictions. So until your past the 5 years your gonna have problems with a high performing car like a GT.

To get to gallery go punto 173 on the menu, then tuning and under that shit pink punto there is a link and it will come up with about 40 pages of punto's
hersa pic of that sick pink punto
This is what my punto is striving to be at the moment.

I think puntos are shite, thats only my opinion of the ones Ive drove, Sisters got a punto 75, shite to drive, very very slow, interior is shite, electrics have a mind of there own. Also drove a new shape one aswell, looked good - abarth kit, alloys etc but again let down by the drive, interior etc
Sure the GT might be fast but unless that is what your getting then I would stay away!

i remeber b4 i bought my 1st corsa i looked at a punto 75 sporting (i think) it was lowered had wheels, electrics, s/r and insurance was silly money. Puntos to buy are about the same price as corsas.

75 slow?? compared to what though. it's a 1.2 8V so it's not bad having a 12s to 60 time. shite electrics well yes they can have doggy ones but then they don;t have porous heads I had a 75 for 9 months and did a lot of imles in it and nothing ever went wrong. just depends on the car. had the corsa for 18 months and the EGR valve went

I dunno how much they are to buy 2nd hand... but try looking at getting a Punto 85...
Here's the stats
Fiat 85, 1.2 16v, 4/1242 capacity, 86 bhp, 110 mph top speed, 10.9 secs to 60, 42.1 miles to the gallon.
Should feel a lot faster than your old 1.0 12v. Without a whooping insurance cost.
