Hi folks

Does anyone know where there is a current buying guide for the 147 GTA? All the ones I've found using google are 5 yrs old or older. Just in case more issues have arisen as these cars have got older.

Brother in law has just picked up a rather nice GTV V6 and after a little play have decided I need one of these engines in my life.

Or any things to look out for please post up. Tried to sign up on Alfaowner but I've not got my laptop to access my junk email folder to register

Cheers

Understandable. There's a fair few on here and eBay to have a look at, the only thing is I don't know what to look out for especially. Some of the older guides are good, but an up to date one would be handy.

Also this will be an additional car so can hang on for a good one with the right spec/colour

Cheers

Thanks delta

I do think they were a little on the high side, but I suppose that's like anything at the minute that has a hint of something special about them. I was saving up to get something like a Clio V6 or a lotus Elise (or similar), but thinking a GTA and an Audi TT Quattro sport can fill the spot and have 2 cars instead of one (well 3, I'll be also keeping my Clio trophy)

Thanks folks

I just wondered if anything else had cropped up over the last few years, seemingly not.

Maintainance costs are just part of ownership, none of the costs seem too bad, about par with my Clio Trophy with expensive cambelts and shock rebuilds etc

Now just to keep my eyes peeled for the right car for me (would love a blue one or white now I've seen a few for sale)
