Hello all. Back in 2001 i wanted to buy a Puma in this exact spec but couldn't get the finance or insurance (i was only 19 at the time) so ended up with a more sensible Focus. I've had a Mk4 Golf TDI for the past few years due to a long commute that i no longer have to do so time to get rid of the Golf and replace it with a Puma.
I didn't realise how difficult it would be to find one that is a) Not rusty and b)sensibly priced. I have seen so many cars over the last few weeks and many wasted journeys due to owners insisting their car is both immaculate and a rare find only to see a car in dire need of help.
Anyway, i came across this last weekend advertised for £800. It's a 2002 car with 91,000 miles. Had a dead battery and a few niggles so ended up buying it for £700.
I will start a project thread up with the little jobs i've had to do so far. For now, here's a few pics.
Cheers,
Chris
