    I wouldn't think you a prick for buying one, but I don't think I would buy one. Doesn't do too much for me in the looks department. It's ok, nothing special...

    Well I wouldn't think it's flash, the TT is flash, but it's not understated.

    I doubt anyone would think of you as a prick, its not that kind of car i dont think.
    personally i dont like it, hate the front of it and sure screw practicality and have some fun instead, you'll probably regret it if you went for a more practical car

    I'm suspicious about that price and the mileage.

    Is that not a very low price for that model?

    I'm not too sure on the price, it is a six year old car. But 19,000miles could be seen as a bit low, then again probably a second car. There's about 55K on my dad's MR2, and that's 12 years old. It's been a second car for the last4/5 years anyway

    Yeah yeah yeah! Only total pricks will think you're a bit of a prick in this. And who cares what total pricks think?

    Word of warning though - the Spider is a bit wobbly. The GTV is a better car for driving hard.

    i think it's class. it reminds me of the treser roadster concept car from the 80s.

    why would the timing belt be done at 19K miles, especially considering how difficult a job it is to do on a Alfa TS engine.
    I'd be phoning up NCTS to verify the milage in 2005 and 2003.

    girlfriend wont let me get it, doesnt like the red :(:p

    might have a look but i think id rather a gtv if i could get one, timing belt should be done every 5 years regardless of mileage, it would appear to have a very careful owner on first impressions
