For Sale - Alfa 166

[Darryl]

For Sale - Alfa 166. 3.0L 24 valve V6. 2001. 211000km.
Located in Brisbane.

Check back issues of AROCA Qld Per Sempre Alfa Magazine for more information on this car and its foibles (a.k.a Guido) but overall it has been reliable transport. The 166 is a much more solidly built car than a 156 (as befits its target market and eye watering price when new). On the other hand it isn't exactly light and nimble... If you want a nice Italian lounge room on wheels, with a Busso soundtrack - this is your chance to "grab a bargain".

Good things:
Runs and drives fine.
Excellent service history - prior to my purchase in 2014 this car was owned for many years by the proprietor of a Gold Coast Alfa specialist workshop and car dealership.
Timing belt and (metal impeller) water pump, plugs, new fuel pump 2000km/6 months ago.
Low km since Bilstein shocks, replaced suspension arms/bushes, custom Kings Springs to suit typically bad Australian roads (Lowering springs also included if low and mean is more your thing).
90% tread on tyres, brake pads have plenty of meat etc.
Fitted with Zender body kit and Remus stainless exhaust (really brings out that Busso sound) from new.
Owner is a realist and an Alfa nutter (is that a good thing?) with too many cars - just need it gone.

Not so good things:
It's a couple of decades old car used as a (not so) daily driver. Not a "show car" - just to set expectations - inspection recommended.
Previously beautiful black paint has started to suffer from Qld sun - roof and bonnet.
A few electrical gadget niggles - you won't be adjusting the driver's seat height (other adjustments working fine) and the central locking solenoid on front passenger's door is playing up.
Aircon was cold until last week (typical - I think Guido heard me talking about selling) - I'm assuming a service (regas and receiver drier) will get it working but no promises.


Ts an Cs:
Price: $2500 ono.
Based on as is, no RWC etc.
RWC, electrical repairs, full respray, fluro orange wrap ... is up to you - happy to help arrange but not part of the "package".
