    That's been for sale for ages and I wouldn't have those wheels on the GT.

    It does have the BOSE stereo, parking sensors and is the right colour though!

    It was the wheels that were putting me off. I would like the tan leather and white dials too.

    I have the tan leather-it does look pretty good alright (but will be harder to keep clean).

    You could get a set of GT alloys 17s or 18s for around €500 used. There's also replicas and what are said to be real OEMs available on e-bay.it for a bit more.

    It's for sale for so long because it's overpriced. €15K for a 5 year old one is crazy when you can have a 1 year old for €20k.

    I test drove that one and felt that a few things just didn't add up, was tyre kicking at the time so didn't delve in too deep. Have a look by all means but make sure to be careful...

    I haven't driven the car, or indeed seen it anywhere other than online, but there appear to be a few odd issues with it alright.

    vengeance52, not sure if you're interested but I will be putting my GT up for sale soon. Its the 1.9JTDm, 2007 Monza spec. Its ciarsd's ex diesel GT that he was saying he used to own. I had it for sale a while back but took it off due to family bereavement.

    I need to look around at what they are going for at the moment but if you want to take a look at my old ad, here's a link to it. I'll be updating it shortly with the new asking price/mileage, etc.

    http://www.adverts.ie/showproduct.php?product=74818

    Ciarsd and Redsoxfan will vouch for the car on here. Drop me a PM if you think you might be interested.

    I think this Alfa GT is the most endorsed car on boards, maybe it should become a mascot :D

    I do like it tho. Very stylish


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,220 ✭✭✭✭Lex Luthor


    Have a lot of GT's been sold over the last few weeks as there are none now on Carzone and only a few on CBG? Last time I looked about a month ago there were a few more....

    just updated my ad...gonna run it for a week or 2 on adverts.ie, then put it in the national papers. After that if its not sold, I've done a provisional deal for a trade in already, so it'll be with some dealer after that

    not an estate :(


    Yea the GT in Laois was the same price, which is why i didnt buy it. Tried to get it for less than 16k but they werent having it. Sold now.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,220 ✭✭✭✭Lex Luthor

    '06 or older for you then in that price I'm afraid unless you can find a 1.8 or get extremely lucky


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,220 ✭✭✭✭Lex Luthor


    well i was planning to buy here and trade in my UK car to a dealer here, which they dont seem to have a prob with.

    http://www.carzone.ie/search/Alfa-Romeo/GT/1.9-JTD*/200838190022209/advert?channel=CARS

    Currently looking at this and been emailing the dealer in question. I love it. its a Collezione edition and i think it looks stunning.

    I think I saw this GT you were looking at from Lismards in work this morning. Was it black with light cream interior leather 08 LS 659?

    That sounds like the car. it was gone from all the sites over a week ago. The woman in the place was polite, but she gave me such a terrible trade in price.

    Great News....

    Due to a hopeful change in job, im back chasing after a GT again and i must say....im giddy.

    Only thing is ive moved to Ireland, so will be trading in my honda accord against a ROI car.

    Ive decided from previous posts to go with the 1.9JTDM engine.

    http://www.carzone.ie/search/Alfa-Romeo/GT/1.9-JDM/200945195747817/advert?channel=CARS

    This car I have fell in love with. Perfect colour and I love the seats....only prob is the price tag



    http://www.carzone.ie/search/Alfa-Romeo/GT/1.9-D--S/201005196806979/advert?channel=CARS

    This is closer to my price range but id rather light grey or the beige leather seats rather then the black.



    http://www.carzone.ie/search/Alfa-Romeo/GT/1.9-SPOR/201005196769466/advert?channel=CARS

    This is well within budget but higher milage than the others and also black leather seats.


    What I want to know, is what work is required at the 60k mark, timing belt etc and whats a rough price and more importantly.....What do ya all think of these GT's

    Cheers

    The first one was discused in dept here recently, pay close attention to the photo of the front driver's wing where the bumper meets the wing. Looks like it got clipped by something or could indicate accident damage.

    Second one looks good though I am not a fan of the aftermarket tint on the windows.

    Third doesn't do anything for me, colour looks too dull and those alloy wheels look lost under those arches.

    This looks like a nicer example:
