Advice on inspection for Alfa in Sydney

[Graham]

I am looking at buying the 159 I recently drove in Sydney.

It is a 2008 2.2 JTS manual, first registered in 09 with 4,900K on it. It is claimed to be a demonstrator, however, the dealer has several other yards and I am concerned it has been shipped in from somewhere else.

Can anyone recommend someone in Sydney who knowa Alfa's and could conduct a pre-purchase inspection?

Also any suggestiions on how to soften the leather seats! I know it has only travelled a few K's but the black leather is very hard compared to the beige leather I have sat on in another Alfa, albeit a 06 model.

Thanks.
