156 for £3k?

[pstruck]

One of my options for a daily use £3k budget motor is the Alfa 156. To all those in the know, would I get a decent one for that money? I'd really like a V6, but what are he engines like and running costs, etc?

What general things are there to look out for with these cars?

Is there somewhere I can find a decent 'buying guide'.

Drop me a message/email with yours, and I'll send you a few pdfs I downloaded from Parkers when I was thinking about going for one, recently.

Well my 156 is only worth £2k and its great. Never let me down. Full service history and just had belts and variator done. So overall i would say dont buy on price, but buy on condition.
