Alfa Romeo 155 - 2.5 V6 Widebody - Non-Polos

6 February, 201412 yr

Putting my Alfa 155 up for sale, I've only owned it for a few months but I need to get back into a BMW.

It's a 1995 2.5L V6 widebody.

95k miles

MOT until 21st July 2014

Tax until the end of Feb 2014 (can tax for extra)

I'll use a bit of description from the previous advert as he describes it better than me...

The most important thing about this car is that it has the Alfa 12 valve 2.5 V6 engine. It's got a k&n air filter, a complete stainless exhaust system and has had a remapped chip fitted with a dyno print out showing 173bhp (stock is 164bhp). The gearbox has a quick shifter linkage fitted (easily removed) which makes for snappy changes but is slightly more notchy than standard.

It's lowered on lowering springs, It drivers very well, the steering is tight and responsive giving the car quite a 'pointy' feel to drive, but it still eats up the motorway miles without being tiring. It's recently had a number of bushes up front along with new lower arms. The front tyres are getting near the wear markers but have worn evenly and have got a good few miles left in them. The rears have got plenty of tread.

The bodywork is generally pretty good, though I'd consider it one of the cars weaker points. On the good side there's no rust and it's mostly red not pink! The bad is that there are a number of stone chips, the drivers door has been polished through in a small spot, there is a small dent on the drivers door and on the boot lid and a scuff on the left corner of the front bumper. That said they are all small issues and when you look at the car it looks neat, tidy and presentable.

The interior is really good, one of the best bits of the car. Aside from some wear on the gear knob, you'd think it's done half the miles it has done. The seats are comfy and nicely bucketed up front. There are plenty of mod cons; central locking, power steering, ABS, electric windows, air con, etc. The air con could do with regaling as it doesn't blow very cold. The original cassette radio is fitted, though some speakers and cables remain installed from a more modern audio install, so I'm sure it would be easy to upgrade it.

I've got a good amount of history with the car and all the original Alfa books, including the service book with plenty of Alfa dealer stamps showing a good service history up to 75,000 miles, after which it's been serviced by the owners. The cam belt was changed at 75,000 miles by an Alfa dealer. I've got the all important master key along with two normal keys.
