    Asking price looks ok to me but if you were trading it in any offer you get would be very low. Depending on car you might be better off getting a cash discount and trying to sell the Alfa yourself

    yeah its a pickle alright, not sure what to do, its not mine but the person selling the car wont be spending enough on the next car to get a decent discount.

    Probably, you will more then likely only get 1000-1500 on a trade in though.

    nothing wrong with it, just want to sell it, so priced it as so. there is light scratching on the passenger side and the timing belt will likely need doing. other than that its fine.

    Off topic:
    Just a bit of friendly advise about your advertisement put your mobile number on it. For me if I see an advertisement without a number I automaticly think there's something funny going on.
    Otherwise it's very good: nice clean car, with clear pictures and it's in nice (south side?) area.

    That's my two cents! Take it or leave it.

    Less than that I would think. I got offered €1250 for my Alfa (01 1.6TS Lusso 64k miles) on a trade 14 months ago. Did manage to sell it for nearly €6000 privatly though:D. That was before the arse fell out of the market. Non - Alfa Dealers I'd say wouldn't touch them with somebody elses. One Dealer in Limerick has a 2.0TS for sale for nearly 2 years now.
