VIC / 2003 156 2.0 JTS FOR SALE

[Alfisto69]

Hey fellow Alfisti,

It is with much sadness that the time has come for me to sell my beloved Graziella, my 2.0 JTS 156 - 5 speed manual.
Below is part of the ad I've put on CarSales describing it in greater detail.

BEST COLOUR COMBO (in my opinion) WITH THE ALFA RED EXTERIOR AND BLACK INTERIOR.

ELECTRIC SUNROOF, POWER WINDOWS, CRUISE CONTROL, DUAL ZONE CLIMATE CONTROL.

POWERFUL, YET ECONOMICAL 2.0L JTS (Jet Thrust Stoichiometric)  ENGINE.

FULL SERVICE HISTORY, VERY CAREFULY AND LOVINGLY LOOKED AFTER DURING MY OWNERSHIP. SERVICED BY AN ITALIAN CAR SPECIALIST WITH YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND AN ABUNDANCE OF KNOWLEDGE.

DRIVES BEAUTIFULLY, HANDLES LIKE IT'S ON RAILS AND GEARSHIFTS FEEL SILKY SMOOTH.

SELLING AS I'VE WANTED A RWD CONVERTIBLE FOR A WHILE AND HAVE RECENTLY FOUND ONE AT A REASONABLE PRICE AND PURCHASED IT. VERY SAD TO SEE MY BEAUTIFUL LITTLE ALFA GO, BUT I JUST CAN'T JUSTIFY KEEPING TWO CARS.

The bad:
Few minor items regarding the body - these were present when I bought the car. Minor crack in right rear tail light, minor crease in bumper just underneath that. Minor dent in the front bumper just to the left of the scudetto. Some minor bits of paint missing from the left edge of the front bumper adjacent to the headlight assembly. Hood could do with a respray.

Engine has an audible rattle. It has had an audible rattle since I've bought it. It runs fine though and drives beautifully and smoothly.
More recently the noise has seemed to change slightly, but still runs ok. 

Has occasionally thrown up fault codes. Mechanic believes this is just due to a bad electrical connection somewhere and is not worth the time and expense to diagnose and fix. Fault codes are very simple and easy to clear and can be done with a laptop using a free program.

SELLING CHEAP AS I'M SELLING IT WITHOUT A ROADWORTHY. JUST TOO BUSY TO SET ASIDE ANY TIME TO ARRANGE ONE.

ALL INSPECTIONS AND TEST DRIVES WELCOME - GIVE ME A CALL ANYTIME TO ARRANGE - 0439 346 708
