Wanted : Looking for an Alfa 147 GTA

[RobFord]

Hi There

Looking for a really nice manual 147 GTA that has clearly been looked after by an enthusiast, or someone that can show receipts, services ETC. Budget around $13k - $14k.

I agreed a sale on a nice one yesterday but unfortunately the owner is having 2nd thoughts.

If anyone knows of anything please let me know, I live in Bright NE Vic and happy to travel all round Victoria or NSW and would require the vehicle be checked over by an Alfa specialist prior to purchase.

Thanks

Rob

Good luck with your search Rob. Keep your eye out for my Red GTA this weekend, I'll be up there over the easter break. Feel to flag me down if you're interested in having a drive of a Selespeed one for comparison.

Hi Rob -

Glad to see that you're taking the plunge on a GTA after asking about them last October 

I'm still very happy with mine. I've sorted out a few little things in the last few months and it's running well.

One thing to bear in mind that I didn't know last year - all the ones I looked at had fairly weak airflow from the vents, and I've now discovered that mine had never had the pollen filter replaced. Suspect this is common on these cars, because it's a bit of a pain to do!  Anyway, I replaced mine a few weeks ago, and it's made a big difference to the airflow.

Good luck with the search!

Gbernard over at Ausalfa is looking to sell his I think.. it might be worth visiting Ausalfa.com and sending him a PM...

His car is in mint condition - a really excellent example.

Congrats on the purchase Rob and once again sorry I pulled out of the origainal sale- just couldn't bring myself to letting her go 

Make sure you post some pics when you pick yours up and if you ever come down to Melbourne drop me a note and we can go for a cruze.
