What's wrong with the Alfa?

A mate bought it a couple of days ago.
I just didn't like it. It felt claustrophobic, very black and uninspiring too.
It had a fee too many niggles for my liking too. It drove really well though with a very quick rack. I didn't inspect or poke like you do but the cills and other parts looked a bit bubbly.
It'll do some one a good turn for a year if nowt else.
Low miles at only 65k. The engine bay was really good and the motors in those always look the business.
Timing belt roulette too iirc.

Oh and the dials were in three individual binnacles deep down. If you went into shade you couldn't see them!

I did offer it. I thought you were going to get the train?

I would have flown as cheaper. Only like £25 or whatever it was for a single from Bristol airport to Newcastle. I only came back from my holiday yesterday evening and got into proper phone signal (not roaming charges).
Never saw the advert for it.
I thought Hooli was after it too?

Apologies, I didn't know. I would've kept it for you.
I didn't do an advert I just offered it on the grumpy thread.

I can't see how they've doubled the value of that TBH, in guessing they're going to struggle shifting it. Caddy V8 engine were always cheap as well.
