How Genuine Is This??

[HLC86]

How genuine do people think this add is?
The obvious doubts come from the low price, low mileage, and its current position lol.
Your thoughts would be appreciated, seen as i am rather tempted by it.

Thanks for that Martin, hadnt relised that. If his a dealer and writing ads up like that then i dont trust a word he has to say about the car in general. Think i'll save myself the 200 ish mile round trip and carry on looking.

Thanks Pumadad but some of them are in pretty bad states. As I dont have anything to swap over due to the current lack of car, then im looking for something in a reasonable condition. By no means do i expect it to be perfect, but i want something that im gonna be happy driving and to use as a blank canvas to change slowly over time. Im not all that fussed by an overly low mileage car as i know that the pumas can happily do 100k+ when looked after, and im willing to pay out more for a fairly decent one. If you can find one sub 40k that your happy enough with to do that, then fair play to you.

The reason i put the thread up was because i thought this was too good to be true, and who better to get opinions off than you lot lol. low and behold it very much does seem to be too good to be true

Some of those for sun 1k are a steal

if buying a lower mileage puma ,swapping the bits over and giving it to the mrs doesnt go to plan my puma will be up for sale next month as im getting something bigger look out in the for sale section

No rush to find one Hayley, biggest mistake I made with the FRP was buying the first one I looked at

The fact it's on a trailer in what appears to be a breakers yard puts me off straight away.

 

[HLC86]

Your right there is no rush to find one. But that's the exact reason why I'm looking now, so I have more time to look around and not jus buy one in a hurry. But I'm not gonna turn down a bargain if one comes up. The funds are there ready and waiting for one to come up. Giving myself the time to look will give me the opportunity not to make ur mistake, although it wasn't that bad of a mistake I loved #13.

 

[pumadad2010]

yeah one without rusty arches

 

[Neil]

Good luck with that....

 

[AndyW]

Mine hasn't got rusty arches :wink:

[Dal]

Mine hasn't got rusty arches :wink:

That's because they're not the ones that came with it from Cologne.

It's only a matter of time. My FRP was rust free when I bought it. Fast forward one year and it was ruined.

 

[martinthrapston]

cheap german metal :roll:
must have used same supplier that rover had lmao

 

[Scotty1.7]

They could of done worse- just think if they ahd used the same supplier as Lancia did?

 

[Patch]

Or the FIAT Panda's, my uncle was always given a brand new one as a company car every 6 months cost they would just rust through
