2006 (06 Reg) Alfa GT 1.9diesel, 17,000 miles, tan leather, 18" wheels, parking sensors......pics will follow after a good clean....price....(See below!)

£5,000! Car belonged to my uncle who just picked up his new 630i today and so as a "present" he sold me the car for 5k! (He paid 21k in April for it!)

Hopefully it'll be reliable! At least it has a warranty, once I've transfered it!

Let me know what you think of the engine. The Alfa Gt 1.9jtd Q2 is on my potential list if I decide to go down the company car route.

Will do, atm I've only driven it about 20 miles so haven't really got a feel for it!

I do know that it's a pita to get into sixth gear though!

and it hasn't broken down or had anything fall off...woah j/k

love the car so much I nearly got one but the only thing holding me back was the amount of money it would lose.

awsome looking car. Nice deal well done

they say if something is too good to be true then it normally is, wonder what the down side to this is!

lovely looking cars, excellent price if the car is in as good condition as it should be!

£14k thrown away in 8 months? That's quite some "present" :/

What can I say, I'm a special nephew!! (Please bear in mind when I say uncle he's 40 and I'm 32, I'm not a 17 year old!!)
