New Punto owner, but think I bought a dud

[jordylass]

Thanks for the insurance links they did save me 20%.

I bought this car yesterday, I am so gullible and now feel really stupid.

The power steering light came on after I drove for about 40 miles, I had read reviews as well and knew that steering could be a problem, but just thought the tracking might be out, the car is pulling to the left when I drive it.

This car was supposed to have gone through an MOT last week, but the front tyres are almost bald and the wiper blades are shredded. I'm going to check with the garage that did the MOT but think it may be a forgery.

Next time I will buy from a garage with some warranty, because I hate the private sale thing. I can't say no and walk away.

Otherwise it's a very pretty car.

Luvduvs had a "bad -un" mines been brill since I had it and done 24k miles now. Had some usual stuff done on the GPS but wifeys Stilo 1.2 has had no faults other than the mysterious airbag warnings which are now cured.

When buying ANY used car think "Caveat Emptor"... (buyer beware)
