Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Also second hand prices are really wierd at the moment. Have found a alfa 156 v6 full alfa history 2 owners and below 100,000 miles for sub £500 as there have been no buyers so the price has been dropping.

Is this normal or odd as others cars of similar ilk go for alot more.

To be honest for that kind of money you may as well just buy it as long as you're au fait with the running cost of the V6. If it turned out to be a dog you wouldn't have to break much off it before you were in profit.

Alfa residual values have never been as strong as German offerings and their pub fodder reputation of unreliability doesn't help.

I looked briefly at the 156 wagons and I was surprised at how little they were going for. Trick interiors and nice styling but in the end I opted for the familiarity of an e36 BMW, plus I still have half a garage filled with usable spares.

Factory Sport but the BBS I have added
