Any reason why I shouldn't buy this car?

I've never owned an Alfa before, but for some reason, I just WANT this.

The badge has faded but very easy to find a new one. That looks like the only problem.

Not many reasons not to at that price, colour is a bit boring but by no means offensive. Only thing against the JTS is issues with lambda sensors and associated wiring problems, they have a habit of throwing the motor control system light on yet running fine 99% of the time - most people can live with it.

Same as above. Colour bland yet undertated and at the price it is hard to fault.Ere, mine's that colour and it's lurvely.
Looks like Turismo spec - no sideskirts and wafty suspension - certainly not "Veloce Turismo" as there's no such thing. As such, a bit overpriced but if it's really had recent cambelt (every 36K on these remember) and nowt else is wrong with it...

Could be a Lusso as it's got leather, certainly isn't a Veloce though. It's not a twin spark either as the advert says, somebody hasn't counted the spark plugs or looked on the back.
Still a good car though, I enjoyed my 03 JTS though I did have the MCS failure mentioned, it was possibly caused by my habit of running the car very low on fuel.
