hi there!

[mikey]

get a FRP!!

I would love one, but I dont have the budget for one unfortunately

 

[mikey]

I viewed a millennium today but there was rust in several places a and a small crease in the back bumper so I walked away

Ive seen 3 Pumas now and I dont seem to be getting anywhere

Bad luck mate, i'm sure one will come along sooner rather than later!

Im a bit surprised at the amount of rust on some of them - is it a design issue? - the older ones have seemed less rusty :?

 

[RED IMPACT]

Rear arches and just behind the doors tend to be the main culprits!

Best of luck and the milli's are lovely motors!

Mine is a 1999 and I have seen a lot of 2001's in far worse condition!!

I guess it's just a case of looking at any age regardless of model until you find the one you are happy with

I would have thought with a budget of around 3k you should easily find one in a decent condition!

Ive seen them all except the red one

thanks for the input!

 

[Dal]

The red one look like a pretty good buy from the description. Hope it's as good up close.

 

[mikey]

yeah - pity its red :hide:

Red pumas can look great if the paintwork is polished up nice. k:

I don't like red cars in general, but I'd have a red puma.

No laquer as it's not metallic, like a Millennium. As long as the paint has been looked after, it can be polished and waxed to look amazing.
