Alfa Romeo

HI,

I took my wife out to look at cars today as she needs a new one, and on our way home stopped off at one last independant dealer, and I happened upon a gorgeous X Reg Alfa 156 T.Spark.

If I sold my Saab I could afford it, but it would be a total impulse buy...

Someone please give me a reason not to go back and give the guy a deposit!

It's an Alfa.
It's X Reg and 2001-ish - another year or two and its a banger.

Woman and Alfa?

Are you mad?

An Alfa is a woman and can be the only woman in a blokes life. Otherwise there will be trouble.

So either ditch the wife and buy the Alfa (that might be the cheapest option in the long run....;) ) or vica versa

I have a S reg 156 1.8TS from new. Never had any problems. No rust, nothing. 98000 miles and still going strong. Eats front tyres though and i dont drive it like an Italian!

I would say those two words 'Alfa Romeo' are reason to buy it! Great cars, if you are going to drive you might as well have fun and with a Alfa you will and a huge smile everytime you get behind the wheel. Go for it

Would that " huge smile " continue when you are on the tow truck on a regular basis?:rolleyes:

If they are serviced on schedule and you make sure you keep an eye on the oil etc they are no less reliable then any other makes. You have to be prepared to look after the car to receive the benefits. I suppose like any other make you can get good and bad ones - but that could also be the same if you bought a Ford, VW, Nissan etc.

There does seem to be a higher amount of " bad " Alfa's tho'.;)
