2000 ford puma 1.7 - Kent - offers over £55

[benmk1]

Good morning all,

I have a ford puma for sale,

Year: 2000
Mot: March 2016
Mileage: 85,000
Engine: 1.7
Price: £150

I thought I would try on here before it goes to be broken up or for scrap. I'm afraid I do not have any photos at the moment as I am on my mobile but I will upload some this evening.

It does have mot and is drivable however the clutch is on its way out.

The good:

It's cheap
It has the 1.7 engine
85,000

The bad:

The clutch is on its way out
Poorly painted front wing
Rust on the rear arches
Brakes not brilliant
Paintwork pretty poor

I don't think it is worth putting the time in to do the clutch and sort the car out, well not for me as I'd have to pay a garage, but maybe it's of use to someone for the engine as I know these are commonly used for conversions.

Please fire away if you have any questions.

Cheers

Eddie

Where in Kent are you mate?

[rodney]

near rainham I think

[benmk1]

Yes rainham Kent (me8).

[benmk1]

I can take more if needed, paintwork is poor, rear arches have rust.

[gadgetgricey]

How bad is the clutch slip?

Cant get the car moving, or just when you boot it in 2nd??
Number of keys?
Remote locking?
Air con?
Heated Front Window?

Aware this is only a £150 Puma, but just trying to do the man maths in my head.

Cheers

Lots of questions which may be asked if it were a £1500 car, but not one which is £150.

Aware this is only a £150 Puma, but just trying to do be ridiculous.

Cheers

It's a £150 Puma, fella. Come on now.
OP- good luck with the sale. Looks a proper bargain.

[tetleysmooth]

Those wheels must be worth a good part of the asking price.

[d28]

So tempted, don't even know why! its just cheap

[breng]

I would'nt be bothered trying to sell it on here - even for £150. Too much hassle.

Break it - many 1.7's finding their way into fiesta's. Seats should sell.

Then just weigh it in.

[benmk1]

I just don't have the time to break it, I have the wife's mini to service and I'm trying to convert my t4 to a camper, which is proving hard enough working most weekends.

I'd like the car to go as a whole, save me the hassle otherwise I'll only end up scrapping it.

It has one key
AC
Central locking
Not sure on heated windscreen will check tonight

The car pulls away fine it just requires more revs, drives fine unless you put your put down then the clutch just slips. I honestly though at £150 someone would just come and take it away for the engine.

Unfortunately there are'nt many that would give you £150 - people want runners with tax and test, even for beer money.

Sometimes it is easier to call the scrap man.

Well considering tax hasn't been transferable for nearly a year now you'll be hard pushed to find anything with tax for sale, anywhere
GLWS OP.

[benmk1]

I'll keep this for a week but if there are no takers I will scrap it next weekend

[hamps]

bargain

[theheap]

I'm interested. I'm using a st200 as a daily and it's juicy! This is right up my alley. I get paid Monday so if it's still about I'll pop along and buy it.

Does it need any tyres?
Would it drive back to dartford?

Thanks

[theheap]

Forget what I just said mate. I just called the insurance thinking I'd get cash back. The a holes want another £185 of me to insure it. My policy now is £770. God know where they get there prices.

[breng]

Try advertising it on autoshite.

It's got to be worth £150 to somebody, even if it's for breaking.

[edwardbear]

if you were nearer to peterborough id have this straight away for rally purposes

[benmk1]

Going to the scrappy on Monday for the grand total of £55, if anyone can beat that and collect by Sunday let me know
