Spotted for Sale: Unregistered Fiat Punto


Here we have something quite unique for sale. It is a Fiat Grande Punto from 2007-2008. It has not been registered and the ones pictured in the advertisement are from the remaining cars on sale by the official Fiat distributor here in Malaysia. The company closed its doors sometime in 2008-2009 and these, along with some Fiat Panda, Multipla and the ancient Stilo are still on sale. I say ancient Stilo because the distributors managed to clear all of the Stilo's replacement, the new (at the time) Bravo. 

Anyway, this here is a Fiat Grande Punto for you to consider as your first brand new, delivery mileage only, Italian car. At around the price offered, one can indulge in Italian motoring. Now whether that's a good thing or not is arguable but you do get a car that is actually European, not German or French. It is also nicely styled for a hatchback. It has that front end that makes it look like a baby Maserati GT. It does look good.



Another plus point for the Grande Punto is that over in Europe the car is still soldiering on. It was first launched in 2005 and this 2007-08 model you see is from that batch. These days the Punto Grande is still sold as the Punto Evo (pictured above). No, not the Evo you think but it has updated styling and updated turbocharged small engines instead of this normally aspirated 1.4liter engine. This could mean you are trendy enough to own something Italian and still in production. It is also the only new affordable Italian car. Unless you consider the RM500,000 Maserati Gibhli as affordable. And note that there are no new Alfa Romeos for sale here unless you consider the over RM350,000 4C brought in by a private importer as your choice.

Of course, buying such a rare car in Malaysia is usually unheard of unless it is some exotic breed. There are still Fiat specialists around and spare parts for this Punto. But anyone who is brave enough to try buy a RM35,000 Fiat that's brand new without actual nationwide support deserves a pat on the back. And maybe a referral for psychiatric evaluation. Well, I may be a bit cruel. You could run it around the Klang Valley, or head over to Singapore. They still sell Fiats there.

Anyone willing to bring Fiat back officially here?
