13 days now and still no response from the dealer regarding my issue.
i feel that prospective buyers should be aware of this

i have given up on them
they told me a pack of lies and are now denying it
i bought a 14k car from them and wouldnt touch them with a bargepole when i buy my next one.

Not the best experience when I bought from them. Took my deposit and then revealed key parts were on back order despite the car sitting in their showroom. They tried to change the finance deal we agreed on when they hadn't charged me the correct total for the leather interior - result you might think but it was the sneaky way they went about it that annoyed me. Overall, it is what it is, wouldn't deal with them again however.

I had lots of issues with their honesty or lack of it. Seems once they have your money and you drive away they lose interest. I wouldn't go near them again.

I was not overly impressed after visiting them yesterday and despite having bought two brand new Abarths from them (Nov 2012 & Sept 2014) I doubt I will be dealing with them this time.  I went in to find out about trading in my 595 Turismo (18 months old, 10,000 miles, showroom condition) for a 180 Comp and they said they would give me £10k 

I know you don't get a lot back when you add a lot of options on a new car but they know what they can sell the car for and considering the spec (MTA, bicolour paint, leather interior sunroof, monza & xenons), I think £10k was a poor offer.  That's the same amount they gave me when I part exchanged my A500 NP for the 595 18 months ago & that was nearly 2 years old with 16000 miles on the clock.  I looked on their website after I had been in to the showroom and they have an instant valuation feature, which came up with £11400 & even WBAC offered £11500.  Then we come to the £500 deposit contribution they generously offered - no mention of the £950 Abarth deposit contribution I later saw advertised, again on their website.

We went to see about part exchanging my wife's Fiat 500 for a new one last week, and Fiat give a £1500 loyalty payment against a new car, which sounds more like it.  That dealer said they can now order Abarths so I think I will see if they can come up with a more inviting offer.

Probably worth knowing for people who use them, they are no longer an official Abarth dealership (or Alfa/Jeep), so can not carry out warranty work anymore.
