Looking at Buying a Puma

[Laurie000]

Hi,

I'm looking at buying a 2002 1.7i Puma, it has 53,000 miles on the clock.

This will be my first Puma, so I was just wondering if anyone knows of any common faults or problems of Puma's? Don't want to end up with more expense after forking out for one!

Thanks

Laurie

Welcome along - good luck with your search!

Thanks for that, it was very helpful!

You really have to drive one.

If you do, and you can resist buying one, then most of us will be amazed.

They look so different compared to anything else on the road, yet they deliver the most superb handling and roadholding yet don't cost a fortune to run.

Try one.

I'm picking mine up tomorrow!!! I can't bloody wait!!!

Awesome- what flavour you getting then?

 

[Laurie000]

Just a standard 1.7i 2002 in Black! Blank canvas for my own modifications! I'll get some pics up when I get her home and all cleaned up!!!

welcome

Very much doubt I'll enjoy the drive home, my Dad is insisting on being my passenger!! :x Wish the Puma's came with an ejector seat, it'd be safe to say I'd be using it!! Ha Ha. Looking forward to taking it for a spin up the Lakes though!! It'll be a much smoother ride than my last car!

[Laurie000]

Might be. Do you know the details yet or are you still planning it?

 

[Scotty1.7]

[Laurie000]

Agree with the above, one of the best value for money drivers cars you can buy, if only there was more power!!

Hi all,

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Puma!!! I do not have one complaint about her!!!

I do have a problem though.... I feel I may need to take out a bank loan just so I can afford to keep refuelling her!! Think it might have something to do with the amount of time I have spent driving around today!! ha ha.
