Wifey - wants a "new" car (possibly a 25th wedding present). She has always wanted a Tigra, but after a quick google they seem a bit fragile as far as head gaskets go. Also the puma generally gets much better write ups - apart from, something many of us are familar with... #
...rusty wheel arches, due to poorly designed arch liners.
Looking for a lowish miles 98/99 car (can't see any reason for spending more than that). Plenty in that region for under £2K private.
Anyone any puma experiences?
Was planning to keep our 95 Astra until the yongest learns to drive (18 months still) and then give it to one of the kids - but may just run three cars for a bit. It has a good set of tyres/brakes/exhaust etc - so if I were to commute in it for a bit the petrol savings at the moment could justify the tax/insurance (plus less wear and tear on the merc).
