My sister is looking to buy a new Fiat 500. Nothing exciting, bottom spec engine but with a few additional options (sunroof, aircon etc). (She's also considering a MINI but they seem more expensive, though TLC pack looks decent).

Basically she wants trouble free motoring for 3 years, knowing the car will be under warranty and not need an MOT etc.

It will be financed - deposit upfront, monthly payment and then at the end of 3 years the option to put down a lump sum to own the car (?hire purchase).

A couple of questions:
- Are the best deals available direct from Fiat
- If not, what other options are there?
- Are the finance rates determined by Fiat UK or is there wiggle room between dealerships?

I only buy cheap cars for cash, so my knowledge of the above is limited. Would appreciate any opinions/advice.
