Going to look at a 323 tonight, bit older than I want really, but at least it should give me a feel for the car.
Nodirection said:170bhp, but same torque as 328 (give or take couple of lb/ft)
jimblowscash said:ignore all of the above ( unless it spec's this car coz i cant be arsed to read through all the " buy a mondao v6 " comments from fox) what you need is a nice alfa 156v6 you can pick them up for sensible money, and so long as they have a nice stamped service book and regular cam belt change there as safe as houses........
some observations
vw corado v6 great car truly a classic however for 2k its sha**ed , there very expensive to insure for what they are dur to astranomical parts cost
servacing is a joke... to change the plugs takes hours as half of them are in accessable and that alone costs arround 400 quid in labor
v6 mondao ( mundano ) if ever there was a more boring car..... poxy euro box from ford
v6 citroen .... erm enough said
v6 mitsi gto cracking car lovley sound to it, cheap enough to buy but your totaly stuck when the lectrics pack up wich they will do sooner or later....
so there you have it alfa v6 all the way ( p.s ignore the h8ers! )

My brother in law's Alfa 156 was bought from new, serviced by a dealer and it was an utter disaster.
electrical issues (lights that would switch off for no good reason was a bad one!)
4 Starter Motors.
Oil leak's.
He got rid of it @ 14months old and changed it for an E46 3 Series.
