Hi guys, my silver 147 GTA is now for sale at £6k, it's listed in a few places but here are the details;
2004 147 GTA in Grigio Sterling Metallic. Has covered 96k, the last 14 by me.
Freshly serviced and MOTd so good on the road to July 2017, only required a CV boot, a slight move of a rear brake hose and two new tyres (tracking was out so inner edges were worn - tracking was done to be safe too). The tyres are Continental Contact Sport 5s which are rated the best for 2015/16 by Autoexpress. Had an oil change at this (96k) service with Valvoline VR1 racing oil. It has been kept to 6k oil change and a mechanic at Autolusso commented it was the cleanest one he'd seen under the cam covers.
In the last year it has had a new battery (Yarta - made by Bosch) and radiator, this is a Nissen rad which is very good quality.
This car has the 330 mm front discs with 4 piston Brembo calipers and has the 'Winter Pack' which includes heated front seats and headlight washers. It also has factory fitted rear parking sensors.
All of these electrical items work with no issues, and there are no other faults or error codes that appear or are logged (had it checked when the service interval was reset).
This car has the added benefits of a Quaife limited slip differential, it is lowered by 30 mm on Koni FSD shocks and Eibach Pro springs. This gives the car incredible handling and a very good ride even on UK roads.
The engine was professionally powder coated a few years ago and looks great still though the chrome inlet trumpets have odd spots of corrosion.
The headlights have a professionally retro-fitted bi-Xenon system in projectors, these are better than the factory fit xenons, give a very good light beam and can work on high beam too. It has been through two MOTs with these so they are fully legal unlike some other retro-fit versions. I have a pair of standard GTA lights than can be swapped over if buyer desires.
The bodywork has a few minor blemishes expected on a 12 year old car, some small dents, car park dings, chips and scuffs. The front bumper has the usual stone chips all over it and a few scrapes under the lip too. None of this is particularly evident unless you look close, the paint still looks stunning from all angles.
The downpipe flexi outer sheaths have been scraped back, it looks worse than it is but does not affect performance and there is no blowing.
The belts, tensioners and water pump (with the metal impeller) were last changed in September 2012, Alfa state 5 years before change but many places recommend 4 so I appreciate the buyer may want to change them in a few months, this has been factored in the price but if needs be I can get them done before sale at the buyer's expense.
I have a folder full of receipts/invoices going back to '05 and everything up to now. The wallet with service book and GTA specific manual are there and both original remote keys that work.
Please contact me if you have any queries, I'm happy for you to come and have a look and I can give you a quick drive as well. Cheers

. Well he certainly runs great, I've not really had any troubles since buying from Autolusso Bournemouth. it's just the belts which might want changing soon and some bits of body work that aren't perfect. I thought price was about in line with the higher mileage ones
