Irish Alfa Owner

Well,

Whats the craic all? Im an Alfa owner now for the last 2 years, previously had a 146 which was a good introduction to the Alfa range I feel. Im a young man of 27 and have to say enjoyed the 146 she never gave me any trouble whatsoever. With that in mind trading her in for a 147 sportivo last week there was a certain amount of trepidation on my part as I know the 147 can be a slightly unreliable car but its looks and smooth driving has won me over and hopefully with a watchful eye on her everything will run smoothly for the next couple of years!

Re: Irish Alfa Owner

Hi Paulus,

I can say I got both Alfa through an Alfa dealership, as not being a mechanic myself, I dont want to be left floating on a raft if you know what I mean, therefore Im paying maybe 2 to 2 1/2 times what I would be if i bought privately. The Alfa 147 was 15000 divide that by 1.45 and you get 10,345 its a 04 but with 55000 on the clock! But it does has all the extras. If i had bought privately I may have got it for 8345 but with no warrenty and no servicing, which they did free of charge, incl. timing belt and new set of tyres
