Another reason is that I found an 00 audi a8 4.2 in excellent condition for only $1100 not a scratch on it. The only thing wrong with it is something with the transmission it will only work in reverse. I haven't investigated the problem yet.
On top of that I love the sound, I definitely can't have my car sounding like a muscle car.
Alfas are rare where I am, I've never even seen one in person.

Thats explained that, no body wants Alfa's here as they tent to rot around the engine and gearbox untill you're just left with an engine and gearbox.
