Based on my 30 years of driving all manner of Alfas that is just bollox.

As long as normal maintenance has been kept up they are as reliable as any other car.

That as long as they are maintained they are as reliable as any car argument is just bollox tbh. They need to be pampered and lots spent on maintenance and even at that lots go wrong on them outside of regular maintenance that no maintenance will prevent.

They are nice cars but Mechanically they are just very soft

As a 45 year old, and using the car as an occasional motor for fun, that's the kind of money I'd be thinking.
It's gorgeous.

Yes, Jap import, which is why it is listed as a Jazz/Fit

This thread basically describes what the wiring problem is. http://clubjazz.org/forum/index.php?topic=8954 It hesitates when accelerating, but is fine when you are at a steady speed My mechanic has looked at it, but still can't find where it is, in the end I just got sick of taking into the garage (as first it was thought to be spark plugs which were replaced, then thought to be air flow meter which was replaced and made no difference, then EGR until we found the info about the wiring).

If a mod thinks it should be moved I'm happy for the posts to be moved to the appropriate thread.

Jap import I'm guessing?
What's the wiring problem exactly? I'd say it's more for the fixerupper thread tbh.

My own car up for sale. €1500. NCT Nov 17, Tax March 18.

Has a wiring problem causing it to hesitate intermittently when accelerating hence the price.

Someone asked about the same GTV on the 'Irish Classic Car Drivers' Facebook group when the car was on DoneDeal last month,and he was told to stay well clear....
A Hungarian guy has it,AFAIK he's a mechanic,thankfully it looks like he has got rid of the red grill and wipers that were on it last month....
I like it though (if it was put back to standard) I see it as something you could rock up to Cars and Coffee in
According to Clarkson,"you're not a true petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa"

I'd agree that the suspension is made of chocolate in the heavy 5 cylinder engine.
Cost me a fortune in wishbones and cv joints.

The last car made me look at cheap Alfa Romeos. Is a sub 1k Alfa always going to be a heart breaker? I know nothing about them but this is tempting. Change from 500 quid and Nct'd to January.

First GTV I've seen that doesn't have AC.
Looks seriously clean inside though!
You just don't see red leather in cars these days

Had one of these a few years back and their was no AC either
Nice car though, and the red leather looks the biz!

Could be a great car or it could be terrible.
For 495e and a valid nct till next year what are you actually expecting?
Worst case scenario you're down max 500e...

Put back on the original wheels, remove the stickers and you've got a 20 y/o GTV with NCT to 6/18 and red leather for €1250

Those Lexus have a bad name for reliability and above average tax, it also has 300k on the clock. It's fairly on the money at that price I'd say.

It's priced to factor in a profit.
