Hi Puma fans!
Bought myself a 2001 1.7 Puma for 2K€ from Germany and drove it home 2000km. Was a bit risky idea to do it alone in a 21 year old Puma with only light visual inspection and test drive before the deal. But everything went well and I was home in 2 days, like planned. In Estonia it´s just almost impossible to find one to buy. Actually we have 88 mk1 Pumas registered here but around 40 of them seem to be in road-leagal condition.
Odometer shows 116 000km, no guarantees on that, but at least the Recaro leather interior looks pretty ok and seems to match with this kilometer number. From top, the blue car looks really nice but of course, the lower you go the more rust you find.
It needed some basic service - oil change, new brake pads, full new exhaust and a lot of smaller stuff for the undercarriage.
Now I found that the power steering tube is rusty and leaking. So this will be the first test for me to find some more specific spare parts or fixing solutions for Puma.
