    Doomed…..

    I was crowing with the good price of my new Alfa Guilietta – just £16K, fully loaded special edition.

    Looks like the economy is jittery – they are now flogging them for just £14K. Yep, regisetered April cars that were £22K with £8K off.

    If anyone is after a bargain basement good sporty diesel car, you may as well ransack your local Italian jalopy centre while they have them.

    That is a whole weeks worth of work in this hell-hole for nothing. Gutted….

      Yep, thats the place. However, the 1.6 Diesel Business Edition at just £14K is a real steal if you are after a new motor. They also have the traditional petrol and 2.0 diesel and TCT models, all at £16K or below. Which is why I am rather gutted!

        I loved the 170bhp diesel. Nice car and at that price a bit of a bargain.

          No lease? You're brave. The gen pop will have the torches and pitch forks out for daring to actually own the thing.

          Also, see if they'll throw in a load of spares in case Alfa do a Saab and you're left with a car in warranty but no parts to fix them.
          Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

            There's always spares for Alfas because they tend to be enthusiast cars - lots of indie garages who will keep models running long after the company stops making parts.

              It's just a fiat with different badge so nowt to worry about....

              It's a decent deal actually. I find 1.6 diesels woefully underpowered though...

              If I didn't have my £120 a month passat estate I might have been tempted.

                In other contractor related news, Bentley are discounting the price of new Mulsannes by at least 25%.

                  Chap I work with is after the Alfa Giulia Cloverleaf, was reading about it in TG magazine, seems like it's actually quite good.

                  For an Alfa.

                  I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

                    The fully done up version of the Giulia looks sweet

                    Maybe an alternative to an M3/AMG.....
