QUOTE(nerd @ Aug 22 2007, 03:13 PM) none, it was one of the most reliable cars our family had, according to my dad.  just that it was 6 years old, and that it was time for a change. I love the 147 for its boxer engine and 156 for its looks. for how much did ur family let the 156 go? Currently its around 60+ for a 2nd hand yr 2000+. Issit worth buying especially considering the parts? How much is the oil filter, air filter and things tht needs to be changed every service? |

wah, so comprehensive ar haha. thx bro.
the maintenance is ... epensive! but for ur case, u got an 11yr old car below 30k and still drives so good, i think its a good bargain. But i'm not sure the same case if i were to get a 60k 2nd hand 156 tho. any specific known problem which comes with 156? i.e. rubber seals n etc probs?
The condo i live at, there's 1 black 156 with diffuser at the back. Very cool. Summore after watching some ah beng turbo"ed" wira kena smoked by 156 on the genting road on youtube, it appeals even more to me.

haha, ya la. But i think it was more of a putra thn wira. modded ... turbo summore. to make things more dramatic, the blow-off so loud and tires scretching and all tht. But once exiting corners, the 156 will pull away steadily man haha. cornering also stable and no sliding and all the necessary skidding

Nel, wht are the choices of an 156 2.0 transmission? r all of them comes only in Selespeed locally? On average, how much does the new 2nd hand owner spend on fixing?
U mentioned abt the oil cell leak, selespeed problem, abs signal light up. how much do u reckon on fixing the particular probs? and ... how long can the timing belt last?
Any 2nd 156 in ur showroom now? if yes how much, how's the condition and wht yr?

QUOTE(Nel @ Aug 24 2007, 09:50 AM) Hi about your question, that is too wide to answer here, many places will occur oil leaking its depend some only cost 10bucks, some place like accerator will cost you 1000bucks, but thats depend on the car condition. if the car been overhaul~ that will be the best. About the selespeed problem sometime its because the wire problem as its old enough. and there do have some problem about the 1st batch selespeed but with very careful maintain will not give you headache and few K expenses. if you like to know more particular problem please go to italiaauto, there is much more expert there! i am not qualify to give you these information here la~ hehe~ My showrrom now got 145,146,147,164 and Alfa GTV. hehe no 156 as its kind of hot selling car still. one month gone 2 units and it is not very nice color, silver but still many ppl love them !! hoho! you wanna try up 147 ?? a bit light than 156 but give you same performance woh !! err ... how much is tht 147? i dun think i can afford tht ... if below 65k ... still ok. Btw wht yr? how is the condition? how many owners b4 this? |
