I have an Alfa 159 for sale hence a quick blog post with details and spec on for people to refer to if interested. There’s also a flashy video clip, and click here to see more photos through Google Plus Photos. It’s a cracking car, absolutely nothing wrong with it, with a completely genuine reason for sale.

I originally purchased because it was in top condition and had a text book service record. It’s always been under a company-car lease agreement and therefore has a full service history with stamped-book from approved garages.

It has10 months MOT and tax on it, plus recent new service. The only problem I did have was the dual-mass flywheel and clutch needing replacement (a wear-and-tear item), and also work on the valves and the manifold to sort out a small problem at tick over. All done at a great local Alfa specialist garage WAD Alfa who did a whole diagnostics test and now know the car inside out.

Although it has done many miles at just over 143k, it’s in good condition and still ‘tight’ whereas other lower-mileage ones wouldn’t be. The Alfa-specialist is happy to vouch for this and speak with potential buyers, and kindly placing on their own website.

Anyway, in terms of spec and features, here’s a quick summary:

* Full service history like mentioned, with an approved dealer and garage, the last one only recently in April this year.

* Only 2 owners from new apart myself recently, and that was company leasing car agreements which ran out after 5 years (hence the spot-on service record).

* 10 months MOT left (renewed in April along with the last service).

* New dual-mass flywheel and clutch in the last month or so, plus work on the engine butterfly valves and a new aluminium (not plastic) manifold. This was by an Alfa-specialist garage with paperwork to vouch for and offer to discuss direct with serious interested buyers.

* In exceptional-condition that is still ‘tight’. A full diagnostics carried out by a local Alfa garage. 

* 1.9 litre 16v turbo diesel JTDM engine meaning good power at 150 bhp – has a nice kick, with no turbo issues or things like smoke coming out of the back. It’s also great fuel economy for such power with over 50 mpg. The engine runs beautifully and has been thoroughly checked following works as above.

* New Cam belt in the last month or so, done to be on the safe side when the engine and clutch works completed.

* 6-speed gearbox, which has already been replaced, which because it was under a warranty/service agreement at the time it didn’t automatically have a new clutch then (pity).

* A 2009, 09 model, only 5 years old.

* The top-spec “Lusso” which includes things like power steering, central locking, airbags in loads of places, height adjustable steering wheel, and electric windows

* The “Sportwagon” estate version with rear boot cover and split rear seats to easily open up the rear of the car (clever high-tailgate design by Alfa)

* Alloy wheels and 4 good quality Michelin tyres, and just a few scuffs on the front ones. These clean-look alloys I reckon are the best designed ones you can get on any Alfa 159 which I think came in with this new face-lift edition.

* Dark grey colour with matching bumpers and side trims, in great condition. If you look hard enough there is the odd stone chip at the front which has been spot-painted, and an ever-so-slight scuff near one of the rear wheel arches, but nothing to worry about.

* Black leather seats in a sporty but comfy shape with the imprinted Alfa logo

* An excellent-condition interior that still looks and smells new. No notable wear and tear, only the smallest things you would expect after a few years – a very small scratch on a front seat, a slight stain around the gear shift rubber (will probably clean off).

* Standard Alfa-fitted car radio and CD player with integrated USB Bluetooth with media player connection with full steering-wheel stereo controls

* Standard-fitted Blue and Me hand-free system with voice recognition blue-tooth mobile phone-system that automatically works through the car stereo and speakers

* Dual-zone air conditioning and climate control and heating controls for both passenger and driver.

* Central locking and alarm with a spare key and zapper

* Cruise control

* Push-button start button

* Door mirrors which are full electronically adjustable/heated/folding

* Fitted rear parking sensors

* Separate front fog lights to complement the legendary 3-lamp front head lights

* VDC with hill-holder facility (plus ADS and ASR and EBD and Brake Assist)

* Visibility pack fully fitted

* Rear wiper, although at the moment not working and will need looking at, probably just a loose wire or something.
