any tips? price is a bit extravagant but i like the mileage and that its never been registered so would qualify for the new tax system. maybe it would even hold its value being a 2010? or is that my heart talking!
Pretty sure that's been posted on here before? If it's the one i'm thinking of that dealers been trying to get rid of it at that price for a loooong time...
i just saw that actually, vrt and vat?! so the car is from the UK then if i would have to pay vrt. that would bring the price up to around the 33k mark! i knew it was my heart persuading me :lol: i recall that car trying to be shifted for a while, idiot wont lower his price which is stupid. all he offers for that price is a 2 year warranty i probably will pass on it especially that where it has been parked all this time is a good question and if its been standing still for a while ill have to fork out more for the belts and anything else, probably new filters aswell and an oil change. oh well back to the drawing board....
Well, when did they actually stop making the GTA...?
I understand the GTA didn't get the facelift front of the 2004 156? (which would be similar to how the 164 Q4 didn't get the de-ribbed side mouldings of the later 164).
So, could this car have been made in 2006... or later?
I saw a 2010 GT for sale the other day.
Price sounds fair and you won't need to do any work to it (comes with new-car warranty, remember) but even though the price is a big discount on new, I think you'll still suffer most of the depreciation. Better to buy a 5-year-old GTA...
If you keep the miles down it will probably hold its value quite well. If you rack up 20,000 miles a year, in 5 years it will have 100,000 miles on it and there will be a load of other similar cars out there with similar mileages for maybe a quarter of the price you paid or less. If it's been up for sale at that price for a long time, it kind of suggests that nobody else thinks it's worth the asking price so it may not represent a great investment.
If you want to buy it, fill your boots but, as you have intimated, I think it's one you buy with your heart rather than your head.
thanks guys will take a look at it next week, im going to be a right b*****d and offer him 26k! way i see it is if hes desperate to sell he will probably take any prive thrown at him, within reason of course. also will scour the internet to find other similar gtas
I agree with gilbertr, a car just stood around for a few years can need more doing to it than you think. Anything rubber may well have perished( depending on where it's been stored). Brakes may need looking at if it's hardly been moved, regardless of whether it's been registered or not it's still a couple of years old. I'd certainly want a full service before buying it.
ive been looking and drooling at the that car for a while now, would be nice having one of the first in the country, would love to have it in etna black..... oh no i think i need to change my underwear :cheese: i would like to have the multiair 170bhp or become a tightass and get 170bhp diesel, only reason for that is that i have to go to europe quite a lot. oh god i dont know what to do!
screw it, giulietta it is! any ideas when it will hit irish/uk markets? seeing as we are the only rhd nations, also malta.
looks like this will have to come from my ac and not a loan seeing as all the banks money is being sent to the greeks :rant:
I think I should apologise to the dealer for losing them a customer on a car they haven't shifted for years :lol:
You can get the top spec for similar price of the GTA, which would sway most people on here.
In my opinion people would wonder how your driving what looks like a six year old Alfa on new plates. Worst still it does not even have the later 156 front, whilst the 156 gta may not have had the newer front try telling buyers this in a few years time when your trying to get 5-6k for it.
