Re: Killed my car - can anyone help?
Good luck with the insurance! Does this give you the "ticket" for the next big purchase now...? *cough* GSX-R600 *cough*

Re: Killed my car - can anyone help?
I furnished her with all the relevant information and pointed out that an Alfa could be a bottomless pit of money, but she insisted that she wanted it and takes full responsibility for the purchase....
When it goes wrong though I know it will be my fault!!!!! As an aside, whilst looking for different cars, I joined a few forums trying to get some info on each models...........................there is only one real forum on the entire internet and this is it. The others are pony in comparrisson!!! Ages for a response, if at all and then condescending at that!!! |

Re: Killed my car - can anyone help?
Well that is very dependant on the insurance outcome, but had crossed my mind. George Whites are offering a brand new K7 for £5695..................I mentioned it a few times when we got home last night, catching her in the peak of a good mood!

Re: Killed my car - can anyone help?
Try selling it to her as "a £1500 saving" or "20% off"...women love looking at it that way instead I think it makes the shopping part of their brain go all warm and fuzzy! (just waiting for a reply from one of the .org ladies now lol!)

Re: Killed my car - can anyone help?
Yeah I just got GW to email me their "prices of the week" and it didn't have and 600K7 deals on it (didn't show it at all) - I wonder if they've run out
I know dealers were selling them for £6000 around March time so hopefully there's a bargain or two still to be had! |

Re: Killed my car - can anyone help?
Lovely cars those 147s particularly the Lusso models however.....a mate had one with all the bells & whistles on and had no end of problems with it. In the end he cut his losses and sold it on.
I keep looking at Alfas and its ridiculous how much car you can get for your money, but unfortunately it seems that its also ridiculous how many problems you get for your money |

Re: Killed my car - can anyone help?
I had a very little blast round the block in it last night and it is only a 1.6 but very-VERY rapid!
Looks nice too, but the wait for the first bill has already commenced. |
