It’s a long way from where it was registered SN is Edinburgh Scotland. I have a 64 plate 500s registered September with paint issues on the tailgate like yours, also the upper drivers door edge has worn through to gray.
I think I might get them sorted in spring. I removed the rear handle and light assembly, underneath it I found the paint had cracked and was flaking right in line with the edge of the handle also at the outer edge of the handle. So I have temporary touched the paint up with zinc paint, blue touch up (mines Electronica Blue). I cleaned up the edge of the handle, sprayed it with waxyol and put back. So that should be ok till spring. It looks like the paint has not adhered properly to the galvanised metal. Given it’s over 10 years old we can’t expect too much.
The under dashboard wiring, documentation and sticker on windscreen tells you it had an insurance black box fitted.
Yeh, it appears that way now, and a rear cam aswell given the wiring. I just have to work out if I install one.
Same as mine which is 2017 and 😊has a 7inch display. Otherwise looks like you have a good deal. The paint finish looks really good, well polished.😊
Thank you. Hopefully it will come out all OK in the end once everything is up and running.

That is a long way from home. Can you live with the paint defects or will you get them sorted?

BCA Bridgwater, pop in for a coffee next time you are there, i only live 1 mile down the road. Looks like you've got a good deal there
Cool. I'm sure it won't be my last from Bridgwater.
Looks like it’s possibly had a rear view dash cam. Looks a nice car.
The sticker on the rear give it away me thinks? :)
Wow, you got a really good bargain there!
I'd like to think so once I've got everything replaced and there is no surprises waiting! :)
Am a little bit confused " Got This Fiat 500 Sport Under 1k " but really you paid £1100 and with fee`s £1390 ?
Apologies, it's been a good few months ths since I recorded it. I paid a little more than I remember, so I've changed the title. Apologies.
