Bad points: -
When purchased p\side wing mirror was damaged so owner glued it back on, unfortunately it was a hot day and the glue melted onto the passengers door and has scarred the paint – note I can get this repaired or reflect the cost in the price of the car (about £60)
Tiny dent / crease in d/s passenger’s door
Several tiny stone chips on bonnet and rear spoiler
Alloys are flaking a little bit but to be expected from a car which is used throughout winter

I have had this car since April 2006 when it had 58k on the clock – I do a daily 100 mile commute to Oxford each day and the car has only been used up and down the M40/A34 since ownership. The car pulls well in every gear and sounds fantastic with the x5 cylinder engine. The turbocharger was replaced in March 2007 when the original one decided to give up (this is quite common on the early Alfas) on the A34 one wet and miserable evening, this was replaced by with a NEW OEM turbocharger and gaskets. The MAF sensor has also been replaced, as has the crank sensor.

The car returns around 500 miles to a tank (£55) which calculates to around 41.3mpg but could return more with less spirited driving on the motorway.

I am only looking to sell the car as I would like to get something a little more exciting and a change in job role is allowing me to do this, plus I don’t warrant a diesel anymore. The car is located in Warwickshire and is available for viewing most evenings after 7:30pm and at weekends.

I'm looking for around £3650ono - photos to follow.
