Sold Alfa 147, sold

[Jazoli]

Ok I've had this coming up 6 months and done 2k miles, its time for a change and I don't really need it any more

I've spent a few quid and fixed the climate control had the tracking done and the wheels balanced, fitted a new thermostat assembly, I've also sorted a few niggles (loose airbag cover and inop rear washer) 

Everthing works, there are no warning lights or error codes on the ecu, the mileometer is flashing which means the car needs a proxi alignment (basically to reset the canbus as a module has been replaced) but I'm not paying 40 quid for a license key to switch it off, it doesn't affect the car in any way.

No service history or evidence of a belt change, although the belt *looks* ok

Body wise the roof, bonnet, rear hatch, drivers door and offside front wing don't have any significant dents/scratches, the rest of the car does, its not pretty in places, the osr door is mullered, the nsf wing is also mullered, the ns frong and rear doors have a dent where someone has tried to drive it up a high kerb, the tyres are ok (5mm front, 2mm rear) but the wheels need a refurb, inside its mint, no real wear on anything, its just nicely worn.

2.0 twin spark petrol flavour, really good spec, 4 x e/w, dual zone climate control, rain sensing wipers etc etc, 145k miles, MOT till Jan 17 and taxed to get you home, it averages 31mpg round the lanes which is pretty good, it does almost 40mpg at 75mph, its pretty nippy for what it is with 150bhp, there's also a parrot hands free kit fitted.

 

It drives well enough, it tramlines a bit on rough surfaces, there's no bangs or crashes, its £400, for a modern car with leather and very cold AC, what more do you want?

 

I may swap for something, try me

Swap for sexy small French car? You know you want to. The law of averages hints that someone will swap the little AX at some point

Yes but is isn't me, sorry

[purplebargeken]

It'll happen one day so it will. Just not today

[purplebargeken]

Alfa interiors are pretty special

[wuvvum]

They're a lovely steer these are.  Mine was only a 1.6 but was still bloody nippy.  Shit turning circle is about the only drawback from a driving point of view.

[Sheefag]

I can't believe that's 12 years old, the design still looks so fresh.

[Alfamale]

I had one of these on an 04 plate with less doors, and fuelled by dinosaur juice but it was a cracking thing.

 

GLWTS

[flat4alfa]

Didn't gell??

 

Fair enough

Driven many of these on borrows and do like them myself.

 

But then, I've always owned at least one Alfa for all the years since 1990 

 

Ticket #50 please

[Jazoli]

No interest in this from anyone? really don't want to do the FB group thing or Gumtree

 

I want to buy an MGF or similar I think.

[eddyramrod]

Believe it or not, this being a 21st century car.... I am rather tempted here!

[Jazoli]

Still no interest on this? I'd consider a swap for something with a lighter clutch pedal or automatic as my last lot of surgery has not worked and my left ankle is even more fucked.

[Jazoli]

Price drop and bump

[hairymel]

2 lucky dips if you roffle please

[Tamworthbay]

24 if it raffles

[Jazoli]

I don't think there would be enough interest to roffle to be honest

[Tamworthbay]

Alfa raffle? Surely it would sell out in no time.

[320touring]

took me 2h 18 mons to raffle mine

[eddyramrod]

Roffle?  You can count me in!

[For Fiats Sake]

This is annoying, I have an alfa on my bucket list, I have no spare cash for one at the moment - unless you fancy a nice Uno?

I don't fancy an Uno sorry, cute dog

[phil_lihp]

I really shouldn't be asking this...but whereabouts in the country are you?

[Jazoli]

I'm in Kendal, Cumbria, near M6 Jct 36/37

 

I am willing to travel a bit if a train ticket is purchased as I'm off work for the next 2 weeks.

[phil_lihp]

Ah, mild relief, many, many miles away!  Sorry, normally I'd be up for a good long collection trip but not viable at the moment.  Good luck though, it looks ace.

[DaveDorson]

I really fancy one of these so I can see how they stack up against up against the Golf based stuff of the same era.

 

There's something mega appealing about those engines as well...

 

And that interior is gorgeous.

 

Oh for some more fundage. 

[red5]

What you need is a Fronterror 2.4 lwb with a fresh MOT...

 

oh, wait, what's that I see behind another Frontera I've not just bought...honest.

The engine is pretty good, its very 'rorty' and sounds fab, the interior is fantastic, its the best thing about the car, oh and the steering, its just over 2 turns lock to lock, so its very fast and direct, I have nearly crashed the Focus twice into the wall outside the house because I'm that used to the Alfa and have not put enough lock on!
