Thinking of getting an Alfa 156. Thinking that an Alfa is a real alternative to the German premium brands. Now, regardless of the motorization, are the maintenance and spare parts costs comparable to those of BMW and Co? Ok, I know that the costs are definitely higher than those of VW (Had actually a VW Golf 4 1.8 T in mind), but actually the costs should be somewhere in between, or are the costs higher than those of BMW and Co? Are there serious problems? differences between the engine variants? i.e. zb Differences between: Alfa 1.8 TS vs 318i Alfa 2.4 jtd vs 320d Alfa 2.5 vs 325i Finally, I want to have a solid car for the next 3-5 years, whether it is petrol or diesel, is first of all secondary. Could I also imagine getting a v6 if the additional costs are not higher than with the 325i, and install a gas system. OK; bmw Has a chain and valves not to be adjusted, but what about the rest? Car should be between Bj 2000-2002 and have a maximum of 100,000 km on the clock. Yearly running speed: 15-18 Tkm If the costs should be excessive, then I would get a Golf 4 1.8t. But that would only be an emergency solution, because my budget is 6000 euros. Look forward to your contributions!
