    NCT tester said it was a good car. That puts several grand on the price, IMHO :D

    Not sure if this was posted already but Noel needs to be woken from his coma if he thinks this is valued anywhere near 12k. More like one zero too many in that asking price:

    Maybe a 0 from the mileage found it's way onto the asking price. :D Easily happens.

    Stunning high end cars on that website

    When they went that far they should have added the fiver to make it even money.

    Daftly overpriced. Though their stock is. Aimed more at the "investment" market I suspect.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    "I'm not pushed to sell"
    Then F**k off advertising it then.

    Hate that, it automatically closes the ad for me if I'm looking at something to buy.

    I looked to gold a few years ago that a lad wasn't pushed to sell. Told him I was interested and the price was right for both of us. Got up early one Saturday morning and drove from Limerick to Killarney and the Kant didn't bother to turn up nor answer his phone. I was like a demon, if it's not for sale why advertise and waste people's time?

    Happened to me too. From the east coast to Galway, the gentleman then didn't bother answering his phone. I gave the benefit of the doubt, then gave up when daylight gave in.

    He was very much verbally abused periodically after that and was ousted as a twat on here too . All those years ago...

    If I find a car with the right spec I want that's in the backarse of nowhere about 300 miles away, that's reasonably priced and have only been burned once or twice over the years what's the problem?

    It's certainly not affecting anyone else except me...?

    It's a psychological thing. People like to travel to get their car as the neighbours wont know their business.

    ''Tis like anecdote a person in the trade for decades told me about selling cars to old farmers. Tell him to take it home for the weekend knowing that they will load the wife and kids into the new car to mass to show off. Come Monday morning they feel they can't return it as all the neighbours have seen them driving the new car and will have to buy it. Genius sales technique!

    If you are looking for a well-specced car outside of the VW/Ford/Toyota range, buying privately, and you don't live in Dublin, you pretty much have to travel in Ireland to find one.

    Putting 'collectors' at the start of an advert, doesn't warrant putting a '1' at the start of the price.

    Wonder what kind of collector would be interested in a basic spec 2001 Alfa with over 100k miles on the clock? A scrap collector perhaps.

    Last one I sent to the scrapyard I got about €20 quid for. Was a V6 and all :)
    A rare car in this condition, when did you last see one like this?

    With rubber mats, the fake carbon trim, cloth seats and not even the 2nd generation 156 introduced in late 2001? I see one everyday, I have a sportwagon outside my house with the original mats (woot!) and an engine that resembles golf balls in a biscuit tin

    Talk about accentuating the positives - he should have added "over 100k miles, so it's well run in at this stage" and "It's a 16 year old Alfa, so even if it's stolen, they probably won't get far"
