well i've been saying i'm getting another car for about 8 months now

and i've put a deposit down on a ford puma.

big step down but it's needed as i've been saving for a house for a while and it's a lot easier with the focus out the way.

it's a 1.7 16v 125bhp limited edition 'black' with full leather interior and those awful alloys

went for this car as it's a ford so any problems will be able to be fixed by myself and my dad and it's a brilliant handling/driving car with a less chavvy image then the mk5 fiesta zetec s.

only have pics from the advert at the moment, picking it up sunday though so i'll get more then.

best bit of all, 46k miles with FSH, 6 main dealer stamps, all old MOT certificates and mother and daughter owned (2 owners, same household).

i will probably get bored of not having any power yeah

never use the power in the focus anyway, always sitting at 20-30mph around here.

looking forward to getting over 20mpg though

Looks like a decent wee car.

Planning to spend money on it though?? I wouldnt waste the coin if your thinking about a 1st house. Just run it until the house is sorted & then buy a cosworth to live in the garage
