im looking to buy a puma racing in the next two weeks ( if i find a good one)

probably beren asked before but what problems should i lok out for apart from the obvious car checks ,

so far ive heard the brakes can stick due to no dust seals , clutches can go , and front ends have often been resprayed ?

so are there any more probs , and has any one got any for sale , preferable wothout a spoiler and under 50k miles?

cheers chris

go to www.pumapeople.com and have a read of the buyers guide there.
i bought mine from a ford dealer and havent had any real probs with it and anything that needed done i made sure i claimed from the warranty before it ran out.
watch for rusting rear arches as they take a pounding from stone chips......mine goes in for a rear re-paint in august and am having the stone gaurds fitted by the paint shop so hopefully no more chips

HAVENT GOT A PUMA RACING GOT 1.7, BUT SEEMS COMMON TO HAVE RUST JUST ON BOTTOM OF PANEL NEAR THE CORNER OF DOORS? WOT SAY ANYONE ELSE??

yeah......is an area that gets chipped a lot......need to get some 3m transparent tape on over that area....ford sell kits which costs a cpl of quid and saves u loads in the long run
