Just written off my spider!!
Just been told my beloved alfa spider 2000 reg dark grey has bee written off. Not sure what I'm going to get for it but I'm looking at a 156 selespeed 2.0 lusso. Does everyone agree thta the selespeed is the wrong way to go.? The one I am looking at has just had the actuator replaced so I figure it would at least be under warranty?

any ideas?

Sorry to hear about the Spider. As for selespeeds, I think the concensis is, if you get a good one your laughing, if not, it'll drive you bonkers :loony:
Hope you get a good one.
Enjoy AO

Welcome to the spider. If you have some selespeed questions, post them in the 156/147 tech lounge

Re: Just written off my spider!!
Welcome, as for selespeed, I have a 147 and it is great so far. I suppose the usual things about buying a car still hold, full service history, low miles, get the AA or someone to get it checked over before buying.

As BigFoot suggests read the forums, I wouldn't be without mine.
