Don't rush into buying, as Meeerrrk said, keep an eye on the classifieds,  and go look at as many as you can before deciding.

What sort of cat we talking for that money? I'd imagine a lion or tiger would be a lot more that that, possibly an ocelot or a lynx? Maybe a beat up old puma?   s8) 8) s8)

"Not a lot of ocelot"


One of my favourite sentences in the world

I would say thats top money for a 2002 so i would be expecting a very good example,theres plenty about so don't buy anything you are not happy with.....not knocking the pre facelift but if it was within the budget i would go another grand and pick up a facelift car.

Or if you were willing to do a bit of work make them a silly offer allowing for any defects to be put right.
