150,000 Mile Giulietta shed!
Discussion
Just bought a 2010 Alfa Romeo Veloce 2.0JTDM 170, with 150000 miles on it! It’s a second car that we will use as a runaround with the occasional longer trip (50 miles to Gatwick and back). It’s in Alfa Red with the nicer 18 inch turbine wheels. Seems to be a nice spec with the heated suede electric seats.
Any tips or known issues on these cars/engines? It’s just had it’s cambelt and water pump replaced a month ago as well as a service. To be honest as long as it lasts a year il be happy!
Thanks

Thanks for the info. They seem to be quite solid little cars, I’m only slightly worried about the emissions side of stuff DPF EGR etc...missus drives it like not care in the world.

Touch wood, that side of things has been fine.
we are looking to change this year and cant see it being worth anything. a bit of a shame!
in an ideal world,
id keep it as a work horse.
buy her a model 3 tesla, sell the griff and the SL and buy an Aston.
We paid £2500 for ours, Private sale. Last car was a 2018 BMW 640i which depreciated £7000 in the one year we owned it so even if the Giulietta blows up in 6 months we will still be better off! we are looking to change this year and cant see it being worth anything. a bit of a shame!

I bought a 2011 2.0 JTDM2 with 83k on the clock back in June. No major issues so far, the clutch peddle has a bit a squeak to it and the rear wiper is its own master but other than that very happy.
I previously leased a current generation i30 before that and I do miss the DAB and conectivity. But I find changing from normal to dynamic makes those feelings go away.
