Alfa GTV V6 24V

[ST270]

Does anyone know what year the 6 speed gearbox was introduced to the GTV V6, and is it worth searching out rather than a 5 speed model?

I have read some things about the catalysts on later cars strangling power a bit more than earlier cars etc but not sure which M/Y this is either?

Any help most appreciated!

Thanks for the info! I've been looking at buying guides etc - as an owner do you have any pointers as to what to look for at all?

The list is huge.

Comprehensive buyers guides exist on the Alfaowner forums.

I'll have a look but that doesn't sound too confidence inspiring!?... are they classed as money pits?

No more or less than any other car. 15-20 year old cars are always going to have their problems.

My generic advice is dont buy the cheapest!

Yes I was thinking a mid price point - I have seen this one..
