'98 Alfa 156 2.0 TS

Just put a deposit on a 1998 156 2.0 TS - slightly concerned as price
seemed low (4000) for the mileage (under 50,000)

Looks to be in excellent condition (left front wheel makes grinding
noise - seems to be worn pads) but dealer assures this will be fixed
before delivery

Any thoughts - or are Alfa's just very cheap cars secondhand??

Depreciation is your friend!

Unless you buy new.

My high miler 98 2.0 TS cost me £3200 18 months ago.

Frankly, I don't why anyone drives anything else but Alfas when they can be
picked up in fine fettle for so little.

Looks like a fair price to me.
Indeed, not expensive second hand, but not expensive new as well.
Compared to i.e. BMW/Audi the depreciation in % is higher, but in
pounds/euro is less!!

Ok - sounds like I didn't get too bad a deal then

Thanks for the replies (just can't wait to get my hands on it now - after 6
years of a basic Primera I'm looking forward to having a motor to care
about - instead something just to get from A to B)
