Its with much regret,I have decided to leave the forum and give up on trying to purchase a puma,they are just too expensive,the prices are just going higher and higher out of my price range,which was between £16000 and £18000,hopefully in a couple of years they will come down to my level,I evens halshaw are charging over £21000 for a normal ecoboost titanium when over a year ago that same car was under £19000,im sure the fiesta will run for a couple more years,fingers crossed,I will still keep a look out for them on the road though,they are still rare though,I saw 2 jag ipaces in the same journey once,thank you for all of your support guys,if they ever drop to between £16000 and £18000 then I will be able to purchase one,I couldnt afford any higher due to a bad credit history,once again many thanx

Sorry to see you go Ali, but, you will be welcomed back once you get your Puma, which I'm sure will be sooner than you think.

No need to leave Ali. Drop by every now and again, say hi and keep abreast of what new bits have fallen off (our pumas) and how crap Sync still is to update.

Keep saving and keep working on that credit score.

Good luck pal. 😁👍

Hope all goes well for you and you eventually get the car you want- whatever it is.

The used, pre reg, even 'new and now available the showroom' prices won't last forever. It's a amalgamation of things coming together at once.
In fact, if more people felt like you, and bypassed purchasing, they'd fall soon enough.
Unfortunately, the semi conductor crisis; hire cars not being as so readily replaced and supplying the market with them; people having more money in their pocket as a result of not commuting in 'furlough' and less money spent on holidays etc, plus people holding back like yourself, has, together with credit Britain where some people often think 'how much does it cost a month' instead of looking at the sticker price and interest etc, has led to massively inflated prices.

Good luck.

Good luck.

Stick around, as I’m sure some of us will be looking to sell on/trade up around the same time you’ll be looking.

At least you’d know the history of the car.

Damn….beaten to it!

I think that means the car has been stolen and recovered.
