Please Nairalanders, am buying an alfa romeo 146, the car is relatively cheap because am buying from a relative who just came back. Am worried parts and maintenance. Somebody said its a FIAT product. Please advise me.

The car

If you are buying from a relative and will be getting a good deal. . .It is an alrite run-around car!
It is indeed part of the fiat family and of Italian origin
I wont buy an Alfa Romeo though. . .

Thanks MrCrackles, but can you tell me any particular reasons why you wouldn't buy one, please understand that its my first car. Are the parts available in Nigeria?

^ ^ ^ ^ You will struggle to get parts in Nigeria. . .
Personally i dont like the car brand's depreciation value. . .It plunges like a yoyo
I dont like the design as well as the efficiency. . .
I drove a T-Spark a few years ago, it wasnt a really good drive

Availabilty of Parts for this is Zero and have you thought about which Mechanic you're gonna be using

Doesn't look like am going to be driving this december, thanks guys. Don't want to buy a problem with my hard earned money.

@my time2
Yes indeed you will struggle with parts out here in nigeria. The alfa romeo is part of the fiat family and is a well loved brand in europe but in naija.
