Alfa Romeo 147 1.9 JTD > Reviews (7)

I purchased a used alfa romeo 147 lusso approximately 7 months ago. I have always wanted a 147 to call my own ever since learning to drive 4 years ago and was extremely happy to have managed to buy an 03 plate red alfa at what I thought was a great price for its condition-£2800! I was warned before hand by several people that alfas are notorious for their electrical faults but chose not to pay attention, within a matter of 2-3 months everything started going wrong! first one of the brake lights went out-fixed that but then the parking registration light stopped working-fixed that but THEN the lights inside the car boot failed! having them the cam-belt went!its just been problem after problem!Took it to the garage and they found the engine had completely crashed! several garages quoted me £800-1000 worth of damage repair! I've never been so disappointed to let a car go as much as i have with letting the alfa go but with parts being so expensive and the car breaking down so much I could not afford to keep it any longer!
