In the past we have bought top specification at 3-4 years old,
because the major depreciation has already happened and
you don't pay a premium for all the optional extras.


That is why I buy ALFA - plummets like a stone due to 1970's
reputation so you can get a £24000 car for £12000 after 3 years.


But you are too stupid to do that with the Giulia.

And spent more than you paid for it fixing the current one too.


I follow 1000's of new Fiestas, Corsas, Fiats, Kias and other poxy £10000 cars about and they are not a patch on my 159. I get one up my arse in a 30mph and when it hits 60, I leave the *******s in the dust with the handling and superior 0-60, saying "Let's see Michael Bloody Schumacher do that.."
