Need a half decent daily / Alfa Romeo 147 ?

[schakal]

Ok i have kept and driven both the 9 and the 19 for years .Its been an emotional decade with so many unexpected break downs as you would expect from old cars especially if they are french . Recently i have been looking into something a bit more luxurious , nicer looking (not necessarily modern looking) both on the inside and outside.

There is a black 182 on a 02 plate local to me going for 1900quid but looking at it makes me want to cut my wrists ,Its **** Ugly

I always liked Alfa Romeo models and particularly the 147 models as they are a bit more in my buying range looking at e-gahey prices .

Anyone had any experience with Alfa Romeos on here ? People say they rot badly etc etc but thats something from 80s ,Surely they cant be that bad for rust these days ?

They come with 1.6 and 2.0 litre engines which dont seem to have a major difference in MPG but a lot in power .

I am thinking of a nice black one like this .I am thinking of anything from
2001 to 2004 model which are in the price range of 1500 to 2500 quidos depending on condition ,milage ,trim etc .

The electrics at one time were shocking in them. Not sure about now though. I work beside a guy thats got a ph3 GTV and has had nothing but trouble with it.

If it's a daily your after then spend a little extra and go for something comfortable like this

Had one myself just like it and it was a dream to own and drive.i'd buy another one anyday before any italian,french or other car tbh.

although if Jon were here he'd say it was a piece of shite

Nice car for a errrmm .... "badboy" like yourself fabs ,but its not my intention to be the fastest man on the street anymore (gets boring)

Having said that you got me thinking about an A3 on the side now.
Perhaps a slower one pimped up :P


Who the fcuks Jon ??

I reckon you'd get bored of an S3 quickly. That chassis and four wheel drive are good for another 100+bhp. Almost impossible to find the limit for edge of your pants thrills, and even though it's a daily, you will defo be tempted to fun it!!

The turbo is expensive when it goes pop as well!
