Alfa 159 Purchase Advice
Discussion
So I'm selling my Audi A6 V6 Avant which has been impeccable & would like something a bit different next as a family hack. Always promised myself an Alfa, so I would like some advice on purchasing a 159 prob estate having never owned an Alfa before or prob a Diesel as a private purchase.
Clearly i would prefer a petrol but these are as rare as hens teeth so it would be a 2.0 or 2.4 Derv around 3 years old. So what should i be looking for assuming the quality has vastly improved on the 156 era?
Do they handle, are the diesels decent performers, reliability levels, is the estate useable or aesthetic only, electrical woes, servicing, spring/damper life? Not too bad with the spanners myself but who can service these eg Fiat delaers/ independents around Staff/Midlands?
Any advise appreciated.
