Due to a change in circumstances I'm looking at possibly selling my beloved Puma ( :-( ). I need to decide if it's worthwhile though as I really don't want to part company with it. It's a 1997 1.7 and as you can see it's Moondust Silver on Prop's (still the best combo' in my honest opinion). It's done 95K and has been well looked after throughout it's life with a nice fat folder of receipts.
It's pretty much standard though it has got a K & N 57i kit (with heat shield) and an MSD coil pack with uprated silicone leads. It's pretty tidy, as you can see from the pics, but has a few scuffs and scratches (it is 15 years old now!). There's not much sign of rust anywhere and the arches are very good with only a couple of tiny bubbles starting to show. It has 4 good tyres, a fairly new exhaust and has just had an oil change. It's got 10 months MOT (went through with no advisories in Feb) and only needed the handbrake tightening in it's pre-test inspection.
There's no major negatives. It's had one cambelt change but that was 5 years ago so whether it needs doing again is a matter for debate! I personally decided against it as it runs like a dream and I couldn't justify the cost involved. It currently has the ABS and TC lights on but but I suspect that will be sorted if and when I decide to sell it. Other than that the elctrics are all good with the only gremlin being an occasional warning light that the water bottle is empty, even when it's not. Another thing worth mentioning is that it's currently running an aftermarket HID set up.
It also comes with a nice Sony Gigapanel Stereo and upgraded Kappa Infinity speakers in the front doors. Not sure if the backs have been done too but is sounds pretty nice anyway. The interior's good with no rips, tears or burns but the seats would probably benefit from a shampoo!
What do people think it's worth, and more to the point, if I was going to sell it would anyone on here be interested? I'm guessing I could get £6-700 for it (but if I'm wrong maybe people could put me right!)
Cheers, Mik.
