Hi all,The car in question is a Alfa Romeo 147 1.6 Twin spark (see photo) registered in June 2002 .
It has the usual quota of Airbags,(including curtain airbags)hence the NCAP 3 star rating
apparently has Esp (handles well due to Upper and Lower link sus on back Mcphersons up front)
Alloy wheels
Alarm /immobiliser
Interior very good condition(Not a bear pit)
It has currently covered 145,000 KM . and the asking Price is € 5500 and for this you get a car which has had
loads of work done to it including :
Engine rebuild at 110,000K (€3000+)a month after we bought it! (as apparently Engine oil and the adding and aoccasional changing of doesn´t seem to have been a concept the previous owner a docotr by the way understood).
4 new tyres (2 in JUNE for TÜV) and 2 in October(€ 200).
New rear suspension Arm & Bush (Also for TÜV) grand total spent for TüV €500
Recent Crankshaft sensor replaced
Replaced on trip to London by those Kind chaps at deseri Alfa Romeo in Finchley £200 in October )
Timing belt changed at 110,000Km
TüV & Abgas certified till June 2011 (Euro 3 emissions & Umwelt PlaKet 4 Green for the city)
Plenty of documentation to prove how much (I have!) spent
In summary Economical if a bit Gutless (Hey my other car is a slightly modified Vw Golf Gti with Steering wheel on RHS;0)
Bodywork cosmetically sound (The usual signs of inner city wear & tear expected of a car of this vintage)and the Itlaians (Bertone , Pininfaraina, Guigaro, Ghia) don`t ever disaapoint in the styling of Automotive Appliances so it is very nice to look at (Alloys are the nice Lattice ones and not those cliche pepperpots
reasons for sale:
was originally purchased to placate German Girlfriends desire not to drive RHD car Apart from trip to spain and ocassional use for commute between Düsseldorf & Koln mostly stands outside front door collecting leaves & traffic film as someone has decided they don`t want to drve it anymore!!!Plus the love has now gone
Therefore If you are interested in a (now)mechanically sound car with out the BS or Hidden surprises that comes of buying a car in a foriegn country plus an English Speaking Seller who works in The car industry let me know
