SCAMMER WARNING: Due to a spate of recent scam attempts (some successful) recently, if you're doing a deal in the classifieds, ONLY USE PAYPAL GOODS AND SERVICES UNLESS YOU KNOW THAT INDIVIDUAL PERSONALLY. It's really not worth saving a few quid.
For sale - Ford Puma 1.7 for super duper cheapsies - MOT'd and with nearly all mod cons - now £200
ThePrettyDamned
Frets: 7484
As per title. I have a new car, so this really should go. 1999 Ford Puma with lots of extras - selling due to having a newer car. Located in Cambridgeshire.
It runs like a dream, has about 115,000 miles on the clock. Serviced every year since owned (four years), full extensive service history, had a new radiator last year, new suspension bushings the year previous. Had a new cambelt at about 70,000 miles I think - I have the paperwork somewhere, the previous owner had it done. I asked at my local garage about them and they said they recommend changing after 80,000 miles though they've seen some that have done well over 100,000. It was serviced and MOT'd in July and that cost £243. MOT wise, it passed with only one advisory of a slightly corroded rear brake pipe.
Condition - not bad. Drives great, revvy and fun. Has wheel arch rust as is expected and normal for pretty much every Puma in the land. I have done my best to control it through regular cleaning, removal of surface rust and repainting. It's not stunningly pretty, and you can see rust coming through. However, it's not crumbling away and seems to be surface rust. Lots of stone chips on the front unfortunately, courtesy of country roads and motorways. Engine bay is in good nick (I'll remember to take a pic next time). I also had a stone chip repair on the windscreen in June, from Autoglass. Visible, just, but very small and stable.
Internally, it's a bit grubby. I don't have time today, but I'll be clearing it out, cleaning and hoovering tomorrow then posting some pictures of what it's like. It should clean up well, but there is a coffee spill stain on the front passenger seat that a tipsy friend put there after one week of me owning.
The eagle eyed among you will notice the rubbery plastic black bendy bit that goes on the bottom of the front panel is missing - one of the catches broke. I took it to the garage and they asked if I'd like it repaired on or removed. I had it removed as I often parked with the front end over a high pavement and that's probably what pulled it off in the first place. I still have the piece and it is possible to have it refitted.
It's got a load of BP ultimate in it already, over half a tank I think. So that's nice. Electric key could use a new battery, but still works. It also has a spare key.
So what's it got? Everything except for a 6 CD changer. That's a CD player, air conditioning, rear fog lights, electric wing mirrors, electric windows, aluminium trim, aluminium gear knob, alloy wheels.
A well known purchaser of any and all cars offered me the paltry sum of £75 for this fantastic, fun car. I appreciate it's not the best example, but it's been well looked after by me and the previous owners and it still goes great. I'll consider any and all offers, but in keeping with the forum, let's start at £300 - it's taking up space.
If you're short of cash, but fancy trading away a Nikon lens or D700... Long shot, but whatever.
Make me an offer though. I may surprise you.

That last picture is the worse rust on the car by far.

Goddamn you for being 6-7 months too early.
Broadly speaking, near St Ives and near Ely. I'm half hour from a lot of stuff. But near St Ives.
I may have someone interested, just waiting to hear back. If not, I'll give you a message.
Yeah man, it works and everything!
It's basically the cost of a service, mot and a couple of tyres. The rest is free

If no one takes it, and you promise to let me take photos, I will donate it to you to paisley and sell on at auction with proceeds to charity.
It'll make you between ten and one hundred percent more attractive, you'll be happier, your iq will jump 11 points and you'll probably get a promotion the moment you're seen in it.*
