OK, not a Ford but there's plenty of knowledable people on here. Anyone had an Alfa 156?



I want something cheap and comfortable to smoke to and from work in that's kinda stylish and thanks to Alfa infamous depreciation these seem like a bit of a bargain.

1999ish car with a 190bhp 2.5 V6, 6 speed gearbox, full leather and sensible miles for less than 2k

I know the main horror stories on alfa used to be rust due to cheap Russian metal on pre 83 cars and the infamous Italian electronics.

Are either of these an issue anymore? Anything else to look out for?

Thanks in advance
