Title: Alfa 159 For Sale
Post by: NigelC on December 16, 2009, 03:36:11 PM
2006 Rubino Red Sedan, 2.2l JTS, 78 000 km. Tan leather interior, factory sunroof.
6 month old tyres (Pirelli P-Zero) . Car has always been serviced on-time by Gulsons (Alfa dealer in Canberra).
Tow bar, no door-dings, immaculate condition throughout. 
Non-smoking owner who has maintained this car like new.  Rear seat has never been sat in or used for any other purpose!
Love the car, it handles like nothing else I have driven but I need a tow-car for my racing GTV and car-trailer.
The 159 is made to be driven and admired by owners of Japanese rice-burners and bland European cars (who said BMW?), not made to tow another vehicle.  Has been a lease vehicle since new and lease expires mid-January as does the NSW rego.
One minor dent low down on passenger side door which looks like a golf ball hit and has dented the metal but has not damaged the paintwork.  It's almost impossible to see unless you know where to look.
Car is in Yass NSW and I'm asking $26 000 (which is than the lease balloon payment) and which I know no-one will pay so make me a sensible offer and we'll talk.

Pissed off!  Had car for sale at a Sydney consignment centre which has now been shut down by Department of Fair Trading.  Somehow I have to get to Sydney in next couple of days to collect the car. 

They offered to advertise it on CarSales (they didn't) and on their internet site (advert full of lies and errors and with no photo).

Just not happy and wanted to have a bleat!

Car still for sale if anyone is interested. I need the room.

Bastards! good luck with it all, hope it works out for you.

such a shame, beautiful car like that can't sell.

If I magically come into contact with 20-odd grand, I'll let you know!

There's nothing owed to anyone on the car, I own it outright.  I love the car but I don't need another vehicle (along with the tow vehicle I have) and don't have room for it.

*Bump*
About to speak to car dealer about selling this on consignment - last chance to settle for a 'good' price - the dealer will sell for much more.
