Do it.

I've been using my '97 1.7 (with 95k) for an 80 mile daily commute for nearly a year now. Never missed a beat and it still shows much newer, supposedly faster cars, a clean pair of heels on the M3!

£350 for a Puma you know the history of! £350 for a Puma you know has been driven carefully by its previous owner! £350 for a Puma that you know will probably not take a lot of time or money to put right (with the help of parts guru Ian G)!

Sounds like a definite no brainier to me!!!!! JUST DO IT! (And if you don't, I'm sure there would be plenty people on here willing to save it rather than have the dealer scrap it once it's taken in part exchange)! k:

I can't comment or i'll just be repeating what everyone else has already said.

Its CHEAP, you know the history.. everything is repairable, even that bonnet, £150 will see a good respray - you might even just be able to get it mopped back to quality standard.

Don't think twice about it mate, how much do you regret getting rid of the puma(s) and getting that beige box??

 

[Neil]

True.

I was just talking to a Wg Cdr on the way back into work after he commented on the the Beige Box after I'd parked up. Apparantley his wife was after one as they 'look quite cute'.

'Nuff said.

 

[MikB23]

What is the beige box, just out of interest?

 

[Neil]

It's a Mini Cooper S, hence the avatar <---

Definitely time to get another car me thinks

That puma is a bargain. You know it makes sense. All the problems are relatively minor and there is no reason why it cant be a reliable run around with its history and mileage.

 

[evilrob]

You are buying it, right?

 

[Neil]

I'm sure you'll all find out soon enough...

 

[quest63]

If you dont want it you could always offer the folks a bit more than the garage and just sell it for a small profit

 

[audio84]

Was going to say... if you want it, buy it. If you don't, buy it and sell it for a hell of a lot more than what you'll be spending on restoring it.

Either way, I think it's daft to not buy it!

 

[Flying Scotsman]

Have you got it then?

 

[Neil]

Not yet. Hopefully in the next few weeks.

 

[Flying Scotsman]

Good man!
