Title: 159 2.4JTD Ti Manual?
Post by: Scarlan on May 21, 2009, 09:49:01 PM
I have been looking on Carsales at the various used 2.4 JTD Ti's for sale.
All are semi-automatic.
Has this model come out as a manual?

Hi Scarlan,

The late 2007/early 2008 price list and press release do not list the 2.4JTD being available in the Ti version.
http://carpoint.com.au/news/2007/prestige-and-luxury/alfa-romeo/159/alfa-159-ti-4844 (http://carpoint.com.au/news/2007/prestige-and-luxury/alfa-romeo/159/alfa-159-ti-4844)
However, an article from July 2008 lists the 2.4JTD manual at $58,990

The 2009 price list and Alfa website include the auto version only.

There should be manual late 2008 cars out there (in theory).

Cheers,
Marco.
