nope..it has a cream interior..

yes...thats true...i wasn't interested in the Alfa romeo before because it was way above my bugdet...Haven't decided to go for it yet...have to consider it because this alpha only just fits my budget and if there are any unexpected mechanical problems i'm screwed. btw its going to be my first car. Well this was the only 'luxury' car i've seen for this price. I couldn't even think of getting a Bmw or a merc for this price...honestly i dont have the passion you guys in the forum have for the Alpha romeo...you guys are hardcore..!! But am liking it more by the day... GTAm where do you get your spare parts? Yes its the black one @ Nawala...you know about it?

Thanx a mil GTAm for your input. The main reason why i was considering buying the Alfa was its price. For a car with englsih no.s , 2001 model, brand new and a milage of less than 50000 a Alfa is dare i say cheap for 1.7 mil( can bargain). If i use it for 3 years the maintenance might cost me maximum 3 grand? ( If the engine does not blow up that is!!) If i sell it for 1.5 mil ( if there are agents i might be able to jack up the price in the future) thats quite a good total cost of ownership dont you think? Plus the alfa is italian. Way cooler than a jap car ( no offense to jap car owners). BTW how is the fuel consumption? about the body kit...i dont like any over the top ones...just some subtle skirts, a rear bumper would do..coz i wouldn't want to damage the beautiful lines of the alfa..may not even do a bodykit.. So do you think i should go for the alfa?

Because it looks so much better than the average japanese car. But I shouldn't be buy a car on looks alone. How much more do you think i will have to spend during say 4 years compared to a civic with the same price? Also what do you think will be the residual value of the car in 4 years? I saw an add of the alfa 146 1.6l ,19-, going for 1.1 mil? So thats pretty good for a 19- car right? so a car with english no would sell in 4 years for at least 1.4 mil? Also i saw this youtube video from a uk body kit place...the 156 did look good with some of its modifications. Also have a crazy idea to get a good body kit for the 156!!

hi..i was thinking of buying a alfa 156..for 1.7 mil. Do you think its worth with the poor residuals and all? Who is the agent in sri lanka? is it Fiat? what about the spares? are they available and do they cost one helluva lot to get?

hey guys i'm new to this site....there are a lot of cool stuff on it... I need some help.. I'm going to buy my 1st car....i cant spend that much though...the budget is below 1.5 mil...i was thinking of buying a registered hyundai coupe...how much do you think it will cost? there was a coupe for registered coupe for about 1.4mil but it was an auto gear car and i'm looking for a manual one. its really hard to find a coupe coz its not that common...if you guys know someone who is selling his coupe can you let me know? [email protected]... also do you think that its a good car...or should i go for a CK2, EK3 or an impreza...? thanks in advance :
