After going to see a 1.6 Brava and a 2.0 D Vectra i had no luck with any of them... the 1.6 Brava being a complete SHED!
Alas... i was going back to my parents house and drove past a local garage and there on the front, sat this Punto.
I thought...hmm too small for me but the £695 price tag seemed good.
So i stopped and looked. It was an SX version but still had elec windows, front fogs etc.
Sat inside and it seemed surprisingly comfy.
Odo. read 68,000 miles and the car had a FSH. The little garage let me take it for a drive and i was suprised how easy and nippy it was to drive apart from getting used to NO power steering (made it more fun!) The car was smooth and quiet and had everything i needed, MOT till Jan 2010, a CD player and a decent Toad alarm system.
A bonus was the sunshine roof
missed that from my Maroon Coupe.
So yeah...to cut a long story short, i bought the car, so this is now my Runaround while i preserve the coupe before she breaks. Will be saving fuel whilst saving for the Cambelt etc to be done on the Coupe
Plan to keep the car around 6 months unless my finances improve before then.
Just received my member ship pack for FCCUK through the post too...ah well the stickers can go in the Punto
Its a 1.2 by the way and here it is
My new Runaround
