Alfa Gt purchased

[milu]

Not my first Alfa. I had a tatty 159ti last year for a few months. On reflection I should have kept it but too late now
Anyway a local Alfa indie had this Gt on his fleet for a few years. I expressed an interest in it but thought I’d missed out
However things changed so I grabbed it. It’s to use as a daily along with my van.
It’s a Stromboli grey with red leather 1.9jtdm
Over the years it’s had a few mods:-
Uprated suspension and anti roll bars
Brembo brakes
Fancy(not noisy) exhaust
Rare Zender front bumper
Silver mirrors etc
Re map

Drives really nice. Not rattly or harsh
Very good mpg by all accounts

Paintwork could do with improvement. It’s a bit flat here and there but I’m hoping some remedial buffing etc will improve it
Also a few rust bubbles in the usual spots.

Thing is it’s supposed to be a nice but cost effective way of getting about so I need to be careful about throwing money at it!

Perhaps if it was a 3.2 there might be some future financial return but although this is very nice I can’t see a 1.9jtdm giving much back in the future so I will try and be sensible lol

What sort of money did you get it for?

I'm looking to get the missus into a black petrol 2.0l jts blackline, needs a cambelt, service and wheel refurb as well as a damn good polish, going back to look at it on Thursday.

I still have it.
You can easily get one for a grand but doing jobs soon adds up so could be false economy.
I paid more than that but well under 2k
I think it was worth it with the many upgrades it has plus the history
