Alfa in NZ
 

Any kiwis on here?

I'm moving out to Auckland next month, and am debating if I should take my
156 out with me.

I have concerns about how easy / cheap it's going to be to get spare parts.
It's bad enough in the UK when they have to order parts from Milan.

Thanks

Well, start digging a hole in the ground... Sure you'll spend less money and
you can enjoy a trip in Italy when finished... on the other side of Earth
:-)

Seriously, I think that having parts from Munich or Ingolstadt will be
expensive too.
I think that Alfa has a depot somewhere... maybe in the nearby Australia,
it's a big market.

Ciao!

We have many 2nd hand 156's currently for sale - either "NZ new" ex Italy,
or imported from Singapore or Japan.

Ateco are the current NZ and Australian distributors importing "NZ new"
Alfa's, and any parts not available locally are imported from Italy, just
the same as the UK.

Here are a few web sites that may be of interest;

Cheers,
Don.
