buying a puma - what do you think of this?

[rubinxwolf]

This is V reg, part service history, 84,000miles, probably needs a cambelt change.
Bodywork is in ok condition, rear left reflector broken, rear left tyre deflated, tiny smidgen of bubbling on rear left wheel arch, taxed til jan 2013, mot til april 2013, blue, 1.7ltr, needs a good clean, nothing else obvious but havent heard it yet.

It is for sell on a roadside.. £695.00

There aint a lot of meat on those tyres.

I get the impression it's been standing a while...

Personally I dont like the for sale at the roadside thing and I would go for one with a full MOT,what really concerns me though is the very blue resdiue in the exhaust and I'm wondering if its got a head gasket problem.

Thank you, you might have saved me a lot of dosh and time

Puma prices are pretty low nowadys so you will have a choice of a fair few at that price, so theres no rush.Theres a for sale section on here and you could do worse than buy a long term members car thats got a project thread and has been well looked after :thumbs:

The exhaust indicated to me that it had been standing a while. The second puma I had ended up like that after a while of not driving it.

They seem to be very expensive around my area... I saw one earlier in worse condition going for 1495.00.... Do most people not bother to look after them or something? Ive seen about five or six.. All heaps of rubbish!


:/ i just want an honest car

Patience is the key.I looked at loads all over England(bless my brother for doing the driving) before buying my R plate 1.7 Getting the right one is well worth the effort.

I waited almost 2 months to find mine and got so down heartened that a good puma just wasn't going to turn up but it did.

Good luck with the search.
