mmm 93,000 miles for £999

The first thing I looked for was a Jag (none within 10 miles of me and I didn't want to cheat). I'd look for a rare manual, underrated. wink

Hmm, had 33 to choose from including a BMW 728i, Pimera Sport and an Alfa 156, but I would have to go for this as at £795 the only V6 available:


There was a nice looking Puma for £1100 which I'm sure I could negotiate down to £1k wink

I actually did this 3 weeks ago. Found an S reg Puma advertised for £950 which was only two miles from my house.

Couldn't handle taking the bus so I drove the wife's car there. After the deal was done, the seller drove it to my house and I dropped him home afterwards.

I chose this over an Alfa 166 3.0. As long as there's no law preventing you reversing up the motorway spin

86 to choose from, this seems the least offensive. Some awful stuff out there.
