Re: Check my 'new' car !

I paid v'loces 11.5 for it, 54 plate, and they fitted a new exhaust and 'serviced' it, but it had not a day of tax. It has a cd for the satnav in the boot, works but some roads aren't there and it feels like you are going through the fields sometimes. It has a glass sunroof but isn't that standard anyway, my 156 also has one. I had bought insurance but they did not let me buy tax until the paper comes through so it is still not taxed, and now I am not sure how it works cause there is 10 days to go in the month so will I have to waste 20 days if I tax it ?

I still drive the Thema LS Turbo cause I find it hard not to - I will miss it when it's gone, this new one has no wood trim and doesn't feel as fast

Hope I don't have to pay Alfa Romeo megaquid for the CD - can it be downloaded from some friendly place ?

cheers

Yes, unfortunately - Or you could wait until the start of next month.

I thought a solid sunroof was 166 option spec., maybe changed for FL?

I think the price you paid is pretty good, especially from Veloces. If it had been a 3.2 they would have been up nearer £17k but they shot thereselves in the foot a bit with the sportronic by selling the "new" ones recently for £16.5k.

Re: Check my 'new' car !

Looks as though they changed to a glass sunroof on the F/l as an
option.it is certainly one of the highest spec.f/ls I have seen for
sale in the UK,most of them are pretty basic,my own included,as
unlike the previous Super Lusso,a lot of items were deleted and made
optional extras,pretty penny pinching by Alfa,when you think of the
high list prices,not good marketing in my opinion,look at the
the last of line Australian models they were loaded up with everything
even the TI pack at no extra cost!
