How do you mean? It doesn't sound like a scam if the owner is looking to part exchange.

Yes it is. I think I remember somebody offering me 300? I was hoping to get 600 back then.

Worth a shot for a grand id say.

There seems to be a lot of cheap Alfas popping up lately. I'm looking at buying a cheap runner myself and could be tempted

christmas is the best time for a private sale. A wad of folding green can knock serious chunks off an asking price. I reckon you could have that alfa for about 700 and a selection box. It must be just ready to sh!t a bucket of nuts at that money. Lovely interior though.

Its NCT'd till Jan/2012 for cryin out loud.

You got to love the way people see an Alfa and instantly think its a piece of crap. :rolleyes:

Thats one of the best cars I've seen on Bangernomics so far.

This 166 is a luxo barge with all the extras, leather seats,etc..., with a 2ltr engine (so good for tax), and in this case a long NCT.

Which would you rather this or a rectangle of a volvo. :pac:

Volvo T5 without a doubt. Legend of a car. Anyone who thinks that Alfa with an asking price of a grand is sound is really optimistic by nature. A years test doesn't mean much really.

Seriously thats a really stupid comment. Sure with your logic why bother NCTing in the first place. :rolleyes:

Of course a years test means something.

Yes there could be problems but you'll get that with any car not just Alfa.

You asked which would folks rather, I answered, you don't like my answer. If I had a nice well maintained 2002 166 with a years test that was't due a timing belt, wasn't knocking like a Jehovah suspension wise and was relatively sound I would be asking and getting a lot more than a grand for it. A years test in most case means it was tested a year ago, fairly meaningless really, I reckon suggesting otherwise is stupid. Anyway, if you reckon it's such a great buy give the chap a ring and buy the thing.

Edit, you call my comment stupid yet you don't know what FWD stands for in relation to X type Jags, lol.
