Any bros driven Alfa Lor Maing cars? Comments please - servicing and spare parts.

Am thinking of buying a 6-7 yr old Alfa. The latest hb model is chio but beyond my budget.

forget older alfas unless you have a vintage or classic for collection. buy the new 4c. crappy maintenance but better than older alfas which are 6-7 year old.

Buying continental is asking for trouble unless you are feeding off the PAP trough.

way before fellali left and started on his own, alfa lomeo was the king and powerhouse of the race track.

Alfas now got no more boxer engines. No point buying. If really must then buy the new 4C like bro mentioned.
My last Alfa was the GTV.....some 20 years ago....interesting story behind this.....Europa pubs (Dennis Foo) then gave this car and another model the Spyder in a lucky draw for members. A group of us 5 friends and I won it....remembered the prize giving ceremony was in its east coast parkway outlet. The car was worth $120k then. We decided to rotate driving the car each person per week. After 3 months we sold it off for $100k and spilt the money.

that was in 1936 in the mille miglia. in 1947 after the war heads would turn with this. it will still turn heads and hooters today if you drive along highway 1.

I love Alfas. The classic Guilia is my favourite, beautiful clean lines. I liked the Alfa designs and the handling, and also the older ones are a good bargain. But very afraid of the maintenance and the availability of parts. PM me and let me know how your search is going.

I am thinking Alfa cos I haven't driven an Italian car. Also, I need to be a 'Romeo' to tackle SYTs. After 3-4 yrs driving an Alfa, I will switch to a Korean brand. My monthly pension and $ from RWS gives me a comfortable lifestyle.

Will do bro. Am looking at the 2.2 or 2.3 version. Depreciation is attractive - about 12-14k which is similar to Jap cars. If Jap car, I am looking at the mark x.

Yes, parts can be a headache. Other than bmw, merc, Audi and vw, the rest can be a problem. Drove a car previously and workshop told me to wait 2-4 wks for the parts to arrive!

i spotted clones talking to themselves in this thread.. This is fucking weird.. another therapy session?

Agoraphobic · Jun 21, 2016

Yes. I have owned and driven an Alfa Romeo before, and it didn't take me long to realize what a "lemon" is. Unless it is your second car for leisurely drives to the country club, it is not a dependable workhorse for daily commutes to work. Worse still if you are a salesman who depend on your car for multiple daily customer visits (like I was). The car spends more time in the mechanic's garage than on the road. Breaks down frequently, the electrics were a nightmare (along with the aircon, ventilation, gauges, all fucked up!) If its my own money to purchase a car, I'd only go for Japanese (or some Korean) models. Go with Toyota or Honda. They're the best!

BTW, the Alfa agent, Milan Auto, should be more correctly named Mafia Auto! Bad experience with their spare parts supply (or lack of!)

Cheers!

what about a porsche 356 or porsche 911?have u owned one of those?

Agoraphobic · Jun 21, 2016

Nope. After having the Alfa, I emigrated to Canada. And I stuck to Japanese brands ever since. No intention of owning anything non-Japanese for my daily commutes. Friend of mine bought a Piaggo Scooter, and looks like Italian bikes (and scooters) are in the same category as their auto counterparts - unreliable. My next car, I am interested in an electric car, or if I'm in Singapore, a Toyota Prius.

Cheers!
