Alfa 147

Re: Any help or questions ask me

Hi Damien, wonder if you could help me out here. I just bought an alfa 147 1.6 t spark 120bhp in black... the love of my life barr my woman. The issue is that the car was givin low oil pressure warnings, motor control system failures etc. I took it back to the place i bought it n ashbourne and the dealer was a real pig and tried to blame me on damaging the car . he eventually said he would ge it looked at. two weeks later the caris ready and apparently working fine. I take it up to letterkenny where i go to college and then back down through dublin to go to kerry to see my parents.

I totalled 500miles approx as i reached the dublin mark when lowand behold the dash is laughing at me again giving me the same problems as before. I take it back to mr kieran and he tells me to take it to donoghues alfa who he paid €500 euro. I reluctantly take it there.

Alfa are astonished to find i have burned 3.5 litres of oil in 500 miles. I take it back to the joker who sold it to me who then says pick another car instead.... seems reasonable enough barr the fact he has nothing else worth buying. I refuse as there is nothing else. he then says well ill giveyou back 4500 I paid 1750 and got a trade in price of 3750 with my own car. total €5500. I refuse and say Im due my full money back as he sold me a dud car. he laughs and says you are not dueyour full mone back as you have driven it for a month. (he gave me a courtesy car the firsttime it broke down) the bottom line ends up i have to now go see a solicitor to gain a full refund or else get the car fixed myself and try to get him to pay for it. The question I want to ask you.... Is the car worth fixing, a mate of mine knows a greatmechanic who can do it reasonably for me. or should i fight this guy and lose my dreamcar??
