Considering this Alfa. Do I dare?

[danjnixon]

Okay, usual story. I'm a father of two kids, need a sensible family car but want to avoid a standard euro box. This is in budget and seems a good price etc.

But should I go through with it?

HELP! For the sake of my childrens savings!

Oh Lord, that Brera is stunning. Not enough doors though, unfortunately.

Good looking car. What's with the random picture of a jeep in there?

Imagine if I turned up and that WAS the back end?!

Amazing, thanks!

[danjnixon]

My goodness, thanks for the ace responses. I can already feel myself falling in love with the car!

[danjnixon]

Thanks for the advice everyone! I've booked a test drive, wish me luck!

Well, I've gone and done it! Fell in love almost instantly (a test drive through the peak district sealed it!). Seems in great condition and had a bunch of receipts from Alfa Workshop, so enthusiast owned.

Thanks everyone! Should be picking it up tomorrow or Thursday. I feel like a kid at Christmas!
