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? |

Are they that much more expensive to insure? As Pete says, it's not a Veloce. It's a Lusso. Can't see why it would be that pricey to insure, my wife insures hers for £250 / year.

It comes up as a Veloce on the car insurance site. |
