been looking at ford pumas for a while and not really found anything decent.

maybe i'm being too picky?

is 80k or so miles high mileage or is it average for a car with 99-00 reg's?

got about 2k to spend on one and obviously don't want it to be a shitter.

it has to be the 1.7 engine and can't be green or yellow.

just worried i'll get a shitter and be forever fixing things.

2 grand should be enough to get a nice one. They're out there. Have you been on Puma People web site?

As long as its been well looked after 80,000 miles shouldnt be a problem. Saxo had 80 on it when I picked it up and is now on 90 with no problems


Second one posted above ^ Looks nice

Drives supercharged Tec with torque
