Or £1200 for an Alfa 156

He won't shift on the price, Al.

Mot to Nov 2015.

So,

Wire brush and a spray over with suitable primer for the brake line - £5.00

4 Tyres - £200 - £400, depending on whether you care or not

Rear Discs - Not a fail, so more than likely perfectly fine - FREE

Ignore the ball joint covers if they are doing their job - FREE

Slight damage?  Tester is a tosser - FREE

So apart from Tyres and a pair of Wipers (normal service items)........

It won't cost a lot.

A bit of basic servicing and non pattern parts from the owner.


What car is this on?

[Andy B]

Sounds like a lot of arse covering .....

Presuming this is for the mighty Alfa  ... 200 notes then to fix it , barter him down

It has just entered my head that the road tax may be in the top bracket...... just like Andy B....eanz Merc.

Car was registered in October 2006 and I'm guessing that it throws out plenty of carbon crap.

VED for your vehicle in question would be £275 for 6 months, and £500 for 12 months. It puts out 283g/km of Co2.

  Thanks, Mr Joshwyatt. That is a kick in the balls. Roughly 50% of the cost of the car.

I wonder if he would accept £700?.....That way I could tax the car free of charge for the first year.

Sheesh  Just makes more sense to keep the Omega then . Mid life crisis can cost you a lot of wedge

I sympathise with that, but under the new system, it's £51 per month

Not trying to talk you into it, honest...
