Mine - quite simply advertising a car as something it is not - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274740184163 ... SwJHxgtxle
This is not an LE - they only came in red / white / black so why try to make someone think they are getting something they are not and worse still this has gone up £1k in day, was £9k yesterday

They won't do anything - he pays his fees, the garage may get a shock if they sell it and 3 months later someone demand their money back

Temperature has increased and the weather is better, surprised it only went up by £1k.

Just asked our dog, but to be fair she doesn't really pay any attention to adverts for cars.
Or have I misread the title.

Trust me there are loads out there - just look at the zed adverts stating Msport and then when you look they are an SE (nothing wrong with an SE by the way) - it just frustrates me that it looks like people are trying to sell. quicker or at a higher price to someone who is not doing there homeworkmr wilks wrote: ↑Sun Jun 06, 2021 9:51 amAnyone considering paying £10k for that car won't have the faculties to know (or care ) if its a LE or notOle gits rule wrote: ↑Sat Jun 05, 2021 9:19 pm Mine - quite simply advertising a car as something it is not - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274740184163 ...

The build quality is actually pretty good on those, I have had two, however, the 2.0l is actually a 2.2 and its not the quickest or most economical - the car is about cruising not racing for certain

I too was wooed once by the looks of the Brera & that was the 2.2 jts , lovely cabin let down by poor build ( by comparsion to Germanic standards) .Ole gits rule wrote: ↑Sun Jun 06, 2021 10:02 amTrust me there are loads out there - just look at the zed adverts stating Msport and then when you look they are an SE (nothing wrong with an SE by the way) - it just frustrates me that it looks like people are trying to sell. quicker or at a higher price to someone who is not doing there homeworkmr wilks wrote: ↑Sun Jun 06, 2021 9:51 amAnyone considering paying £10k for that car won't have the faculties to know (or care ) if its a LE or notOle gits rule wrote: ↑Sat Jun 05, 2021 9:19 pm Mine - quite simply advertising a car as something it is not - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274740184163 ...

To drive it never felt anything other than lethargic & coupled with random fault lights that came & went i had zero confidence or desire to drive it any further than i was capable of walking home it was back on AT as soon as i received the logbook in my name , total Alfa ownership was around 3 weeks & i waved it off with a smile & a sense of relief

I thought you hadn't reached motoring nirvana until you've owned an Alfa
I've never owned one but have looked in the past. The older Spiders from the 50s/60s are fetching silly money now for a sorted car but the latter 90s cars are still reasonably in budget

Always liked the look of them but no idea how they actually drive.

Me too (I think JC has a lot to do with that though). I have also thought many times about an Alfa (looked seriously at a 164 once and an ALfasud when I was 18) but for exactly the reasons Mr Wilks has said, I've never had the nerve. The '80s and '90s Spiders look like they were made by BL to me
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Yes I can see where you're coming from, I think iffy reliability and electrical gremlins are what appear to put most off, unsure how much of it is justified having not owned one but they do have a certain charm and and looks that appeal to me.Pondrew wrote: ↑Sun Jun 06, 2021 12:28 pmMe too (I think JC has a lot to do with that though).

A chap at work owned a GTV in red with ribbed tanned leather sets, think in was the GTV 2.0 and always looked great and seemed pretty reliable.
