TBH I'm not suprised.

But don't write it off and buy it back. Either write it off and buy a different one (GTA's are hard enough to sell as it as, imagine trying to flog a CatD?)
Or do what I did - find out what they were offering for a repair and get the cash value paid to yourself, then get to Autolusso/Autodelta/whoever and get a recon. You'll probably find yourself a little better off - new engine are over £4k from Alfa (well, used to be) but you'll get a lightly used one for £2.5-3k.
