just bought 156 on ebay
I have just bought this and im mildly excited!
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...tem=4636244067 However, before buying an Alfa 156 I went on confused.com and decided insurance would be about 500 quid per year. Now I have the reg number it is coming out at 1100 quid, is it because this is a Veloce model? Are they that much more expensive to insure? |

A Veloce 2.0TS and Lusso 2.0TS should both be the same insurance group (14) at least according to Parkers. A 2.0JTS is group 16 the same as the 2.5 V6 but even then nothing like double the amount. Plus I recall the JTS was launched with interior update in 2002, which yours isn't. FWIW I pay less than £500 for the V6 156 Veloce but I maybe a bit older than you Cheers Tony |
