alfa 159 v6

[robsti]

Did anybody actually buy a v6 159 because there does not seem to be many for sale pre-owned.If you bought one what is your opinion of the car?

I bought one 5 months ago, fsh, wasnt due a cambelt, but I had it sone anyway, along with upgraded metal water pump from the GTA and spark plugs. Wasnt cheap though, about £600 all in. Ive replaced
the rear tyres and a cracked a/c pipe, and thats all
I love it to bits, and being a rear drive fan, am surprised how much i do like it, if you find one, go for it.
But make sure the cam belt has recently been changed or be prepared to get it done.

Does the water pump from the Arese V6 in the 156 GTA fit the new V6 in the 159?

Or did you buy a 156 V6?
