Just so you've got over a month to get saving.... I'll be back in the UK at the end of October and will need a car but, after that, the Alfa has to go - all it does these days is act as my folks' second car and depreciate[1].... Details: Alfa Romeo 156 1.9JTD140 16v Turismo (that's the bottom of the range spec but with the higher powered diesel engine - 225lbft of torque is enough to get the traction control working overtime in 3rd in the wet if you floor it.. ) 2004/04 plate (1st MoT due late April 2007) 25,000miles ish Metallic Blue with a delightful beige interior CD, air con, electric stuff in the front. Currently near Nottingham. It had the steering rack replaced in Dec 04 due to a very small leak they couldn't trace and a recall to have the bonnet catch greased and the speedo/odometer replaced earlier this year (so the odometer is about 20,000 miles out.....) I've never taken it over 110mph, but it'll go a lot faster and *still* return over 45mpg and I regularly got 50+ when I used it for my daily commute from Derby to Stoke. Oh, and it has a sticker on the back (probably removable) that says "Pirates are way cooler than Ninjas" just in case that sways the deal.. Parkers gives price range from £6525 to £7830. I'd be looking for about £7200. If anyone might be after a new (to them) cool looking (bus bus-sounding) car in early Nov, get in touch by e-mailing dnk dot haines at gmail dot com or ozrider2001 at hotmail dot com Ta Dave [1] But not rust - it has a 10 year anti-rust warranty, so that's good til April 2014 (as long as you don't drill any holes in the bodywork as they invalidate the warranty)
