Hi guys, I'm seriously addicted by this car recently, it sounds great, interior's great (far better than my 97' A4) and it looks awesome. What could be the possible negative stuffs one could expect when getting say .. a 2000 year model?

The Badge.
It's possibly the best looking D-segment saloon, I say get it. Much better than a dull Audi...
Oh and modern Alfa Romeo are no worse than its rivals when it comes to reliability. Electrics and rust are a thing of the past.

Do NOT get a Selespeed.
The manual Twinspark is brilliant though.

No Mr. Craig, I expect you to die! On the inside. Of heartbreak. You emo bitch
I've heard of the gremlins bout Selespeed, had a session with the Alfa folks the other day and i must say, the selespeeds are brilliant, thou prone to failures, the price of fixing one had gone down considrably from around $2000 USD to around $100++ USD with repair kits available. (Workmanship is dirt cheap here.)

Like with all second hand cars, the most important factor is the previous owner. If he/she was a careless cheapskate with no interest in his/her vechicle, you could end up with oil drinking, disintegrating piece of junk.
Two words of advise:
1. If you are going to buy an Italian car, you'd better get used to the interior rattles.
2. No matter what, do NOT get Selespeed
Money can't buy you friends, but you do get a better class of enemy.
The interior is modern, fixed with modern techniques too! My A4 B5 was originally designed wayyy back in the realms of 93/94, hence the interiors, like cars of that era, was made up of pieces of dashes, these, in time, bend by prolonged sun light (from Malaysia here, constant 28 C - 35 C year long), these panels bend slightly and creates loads of ratlling. The Alfa however, like most modern cars, consists of almost a flowing, one piece dash, this eliminates the rattles and squeeks..

Here are some pics of my 156. Its a 2000 2.5 V6. It hasn't given me too many problems. My mom has had it since it was brand new in Dec. 00. And i've had it since last year. Now its done 90ks.
Sorry about the low resolutions.

An Arese V6. Brilliant.

I agree, beautiful cars. Never been too hot about the interior or FWD layout, but the lines make up for it 100%. Easily one of the best looking modern cars, IMHO.
An it harm none, do as ye will
