Alfa 156 shed... how much?

[real4star]

1999 Alfa 156 2.0 Twin Spark, MOT till November, NO TAX.

Small independant dealer has been trying to sell it for getting 2 years now advertised @ £695

I don't know the mileage but it appears to be in good condition (apart from a small dent on the top of the O/S front wing) alloys, leather, CD, service history with lots of receipts (and a couple of gaps) cam belt history? I have no idea, but I'd change it anyway.

As I mentioned he's had it 2 years...

How much could/should I offer under the asking price without insulting him? I was thinking in the region of £350-400

£795 with new cam belt and tax... bargain shame I'm not closer or I'd go and have a look.

Also tells me that £695 with no tax and a 'hinky' service history for a car 5 years older is asking top dollar.

This is the motor in question.

Why would an independent dealer keep hold of a £700 car for two years?

Because its so knackered he can't get rid of it at an auction.

If you really like it, offer £400 and give it as a take it or leave it. I'd be starting at £300-350 really.

I'd play Mike Brewer and offer something stupid. Old 156s really are cheap these days... they're almost free.

Brewer would barter his way up to £900.
