I am selling my beloved Alfa Romeo 147 due to the fact that my new job requires me to drive into the west end daily. As such, I’m now looking into buying a low CO2 emission car so I can avoid the congestion charge.

Please note viewing are evenings and week ends only, as I work during the day. Call me if you are interested and we can arrange a time:

Bought in August 2005
2 previous owners

No history from previous owners

I have used the car daily to drive to work. I have driven on average no more than 8,000 miles a year, starting from August 2005 (when purchased the car had approximately 55,000 miles).

Over the years there has been a variety of work carried out, mostly due to some serious bad luck (the cam belt broke as I was taking the car to the garage to get it changed!)

The car has been parked in the streets outside and the scratches and damages are unfortunately due to some bad drivers who can’t park!

Good points:

The car runs very smoothly, has nice acceleration and speed, and also handles the road incredibly well, especially around corners. The interior is in great conditions and with quite a lot of room, both inside and in the boot. On average, I have the car valeted approximately every 2 weeks and have done so since I bought it.

Bad Points:

The electric can be quite dodgy as I’ve had to change the light bulbs a few times a year. As the engine is high performance, you will need to keep a good eye on the engine oil, as it gets used up more than normal cars. The driver window rolls down a bit slower than normal but haven’t had any problems with it at all. There are some damages to the car:

Passenger door has some scratches (please see photo)
Read bumper has some damage (please see photo)
Driver door has some scratches (please see photo)
Additional normal wear and tear

Please note that the specs on the photos are DIRT, not damages.

Due to the conditions of the car, I am looking into a lower price than you would be expected to pay for such a car. My asking price is £2250 or nearest offer.

I am advertising this on other sites so I reserve the right to end the bid at any time and with no prior warning. Please note: serious bidders only. Deal with me seriously and I will return the favour.

Ebay: upon ending of bid, i expect £250 deposit via PAYPAL and the rest in cash on collection.

Others: full payment in cash on collection.
