Alfa 147/156 GTA
Discussion
Kind of similar to the £8k depreciation thing, but interested to know what people thnk of these?
147 can be had for £5k. They shouldn't drop much over a year surely? I don't think these are bad cars, nobody bought one but surely that was because a) they were expensive vs the competent rivals and b) a big engined Alfa is a terrifying prospect.

Expensive to run, go in with your eyes open. Best car I've ever owned, though.

They are superb road cars, mine is a 147. There will no doubt be plenty who will say they are no good because they are FWD, but ignore such nonsense, most will have tha Alfa q2 diff fitted by now which transforms the car from original media tests.
With regard to depreciation, if you buy carefully you will lose hardly anything, supply and demand is your friend here. There is a good chance they may edge up a bit to be honest.
Where they really shine for me as that they are really nice to drive slower as well as faster, flexible power (and noise) from 1k to 7k, nice interior etc. I have had fast jap and German stuff which were fun when driving fast but just bland when driving at normal speeds, which is a lot of the time obviously.
