Taking all the emotion out of it (scarce, V6 etc etc) that is a total nail.

Always worth saving a 156 still miss mine it was one amazing drive

[@basbouwman5139]

Have one for 3.5 year, paid € 650,00. 265.000 Kilometer now. Belt, headlights, oil, battery, fuelpump, cranckshaft pulley, brakes and welding. Airconditioning needs new pump. Fairly simple through MOT every year though. I never get rid of it I think. That Busso sound never gets old, and with all EV's I see I love it even more.

Bought a 2.5 v6 q system sportwagon back in 2010/11 as a doo-er upper for £700 on 54,000 miles. So far has cost me north of £4k on the mechanicals alone and haven't even started on the bodywork - and it is still on less than 64k miles. But the sound of that busso engine...

[@jamesdecross1035]

There are not enough 156 Alfa surviving, in my opinion. Always worth doing.

Nice video, Neil. It's good to see all the time you spent outlining the pros and cons of this car. That Busso sounds awesome. I think it's one to be saved and enjoyed by the buyer. Thanks again for the video, and keep them coming 👍🇦🇺

Did the buyer go for it?

[@pantaAR156.1.8TS.]

Looking forward to see what will happen next with this car, nice to see your videos Neil, you've been watched in Serbia, cheers!

Put it on a boat and send it to America. 25 is a magic number here in the US. Anything 25 years or older can be imported without concern for emissions or safety regulations. We didn't get anything after the 164 and there's lot's of people here who would love to get a 156, including me.

This is one of my all time favorite cars. The lines are perfect. Especially the pre facelift one. Couldnt find a good one within my pricerange (1.8 or 2.0 twinspark) so I had to settle for a 159 2.2.

[@sikersh3157]

Love watching your vids and being a Fiat, Abarth and Alfa owner for the past 20 years or so and seeing some of the cars you work on is just amazing! I currently have a 2.0 GTV and your vids have helped me a lot. Cheers 😊👍🏻🇮🇹

Long story short, I bought this exact car last Tuesday (13/06/23) drove back from near Birmingham to South/West Wales perfectly fine👍🏻

[@alanwardle6083]

I’d walk away and look for a better example of a 156…..

[@ds1868]

I'm expecting quite a bit of rust in the usual places on this one. Should be interesting!

[@stuartlew1229]

nice to show whats involved on a inspection

[@shane6115]

Lovely jamjar, especially with that beautiful V6 engine, the leather interior is is real Italian design, gorgeous.

[@markwgoldsmith]

Loved our early V6 Sportwagon, cracking car, brings back great memories: a really thorough check, very impressive - if it helps, just a couple of minor bits missing under the bonnet; there should be a couple of black foam sound deadening pads between the hinges & the wings, they often disappear, & also the passenger side trim cover on the wing - not surprising after 25 years though. My pet hate is poor jack positioning wrecking the floor & sills, causes so much damage for a couple of seconds of lazy stupidity or ignorance.

[@Brisbane2024]

A Busso V6 must survive. I would start with corrosion and technical repair first and finalise the bodywork over the time. However, you have to spend a lot of money, time and love.

Absolutely brilliant video neil ❤️ 👍 what a lovely looking car like u say without history walking blind brilliant

[@Badger66]

Informative video.... but buying an older car is a labour of love nowadays
