I bought this car off this very forum on June 16th this year
retrorides.proboards.com/thread/167637/2000-ford-puma-450-bracknell#.VCRV27t3uW8
I paid £375 and put 6 months tax and a new battery on it.
Why am I selling? I’m moving in with the girlfriend and so downsizing to just the one car. As I already have a van for work, this has to go.
MOT 28/02/15
Tax 31/12/14
97000 miles
There is the usual rear arch surface rust and also has a football sized dent in the front o/s wing, the underneath is still solid and shows no signs of rust.
During my time with the car I have noticed a coolant weep from the top hose, in the last 500 miles of driving it has not lost any coolant.
There is a slight oil leak from the cam cover gasket, I have purchased a new one from Ford for £30 and is in the boot ready to be fitted (may find time in between all the packing to fit this)
It has the lux pack so has a heated front screen and ford CD player, a/c as well as the standard e/w, r/c/l, pas
As stated in the original advert there are many receipts including a recent clutch and timing belt kit change. The oil and air filter were also changed 4000 miles ago.
It drives great and a very responsive drive, I have also calculated 42MPG from my last two tanks.
This car deserves to carry on providing reliable motoring for someone else, I know I will miss it when I’m using the girlfriends 1.2 Polo!
It has it’s faults but I’m not trying to hide them, first person to put £150 in my hand can have it.
Be quick before the DVLA change the road tax rules next week and take the road tax off it.
