Is this Fiat Punto a good buy?

I'm looking at a 2006 Fiat Punto with 110,000 miles on the clock. It has a small ding in the rear door and I'm told needs a new top mounting shocks on the left hand side. He will do the timing belt for me if I agree to buy, it's been regularly serviced. It's €1,900. Does this seem like a good buy or should I steer clear?

What's your opinion of the Opel Insignia?

Hi there.

What your opinion of the Opel Insignia? What kind of common weaknesses does it have? And what parts need to be changed regularly? For example I have B5 Volkswagen Passat. From my experience I can say that suspension (independent) is not good for Irish roads therefore it's a weakness of this car. But engine is good - never had troubles (200,000 miles).

Thanks in advance
