Brilliant cars my uncle is onto his 2nd. I want one some day, a lot of car for not a lot of money. Have you heard of the clutch pedal mod on these? It's well worth doing my uncle did it on both of his made a big difference. Also there is a mod on the bypass valve to stop the buckaroo effect when coming on and off boost.
Mr Tax man will love you too haha

Ah cool so it's a 2007 model then? They fetch a bit more money due to cheaper tax.

Where did you get this?
Did you buy it off a asian/black (couldn't tell) guy??
i went to view one with my brother to swap his S3 with it and the bloke was a lieing bastard and claimed to be an experienced trader (he was young 20's). After i checked the car over it had oil pouring out of it. He said the mechanic spilt some opil on the service. he must have spilt a ton load! he said it was 5000miles ago, i sai when, he replied with 2 weeks ago lol
he was an hour late too and just generally untrust worthy. i hope you didnt buy it from him.
none the less, was a nice car, they go much better with a remap on them!!

these are awesome cars, doesnt shout out look at me like some cars do.
I do think they should have kept a standard rear bumper and just use downswept pipes however then it wouldnt look out of the ordinary at all

No I bought from a proper garage near Peterborough. It was like the 2nd/3rd cheapest car there as most of them are 911, Alpina, DB9, 350Z etc!
In regards to the exhaust - thats just part of the bumper, the actual exhaust is probably half the size, just very well hidden!
Another point - Im not even a massive Jap car fan lol!

Yeah, might just see what We Buy Any Car offer to save hassle. I was offered £200 on the trade in but I said no as Im sure I can still get better than that elsewhere. Don't forget the Alfa is from 2001 and on 145k!
Interested? Its still taxed and MOT'd

Quite like these, very nice looking car.
You only got offered £200 for the Alfa? Other than mileage, is there anything actually wrong with it?

£200 due to age and mileage rather than the car itself. Not really, fan decided not to work after they said so need to keep an eye on the temperature in traffic or in town, normal driving its fine assuming a fuse or something has gone.
