    Properly Maintained 4200 for sale

    I take your point Ewan and somebody that wants a GS will probably always consider it 'second best'. I prefer the more subtle lines of the 4200 and to get an £18k GS up to the standard of this would be £18k + £££££££££££££££££££ anyway!!!!! As Wattie said, my vehicle has...

    Properly Maintained 4200 for sale

    It seems a lot until you look at the rate of depreciation for most new prestige vehicles. That's how I justify it to myself anyway! I suspect the next owner will have a substantially easier time of it than me but nobody should kid themselves that you can run these cars on a shoestring - not if...

    Properly Maintained 4200 for sale

    Hi All I am selling my 4200 to fund a house extension. As you can see from the ad-link below she is in great condition, has a fantastic history (£28500+ spent on maintenance since 2010 alone!) and will make a super car for the next owner...

    Fastidiously maintained 4200 for sale.....

    Hi guys, My car is up for sale again. Annoyingly the heater core matrix went in the middle of the last marketing campaign so I have had that and a few other niggles resolved for the new owner. A very well sorted car. The ad is here:-...

    At last - A 4200 Up North

    Hi guys, The eagle eyed amongst you may have noticed that I have just re-priced the car to £13,495 (from £12,495) on pistonheads. The car has developed a slight coolant leak and I have damp footwells. I strongly suspect the heater core matrix has gone (common issue) and although an Alfa part...

    Fastidiously maintained 4200 for sale.....

    I'll second that. There are 8 in all and sometimes they are referred to as flanblocks. I had a very annoying groan coming from the n/s rear suspension when going over speed humps. One of the rear electronic shocks was weeping so I replaced 2 of those. Still groaning. Flamblocks were...

    Hi Casadallaro If you are still in the market my Grigio car has just gone on the market. If you look on Pistonheads you will see that it is advertised at £13,995.00 (there is also a link and some member comments in this section of the forum). Thanks Bryan.

    Fastidiously maintained 4200 for sale.....

    Thanks Hodroyd. You must be kidding - I look in at least once a week to see what is going on! I understand the relevant forum term is a 'lurker' which doesn't sound very appealing at all!!! I'll try and be a bit more active - you certainly pick up useful snippets of information when you are...

    Fastidiously maintained 4200 for sale.....

    Hi guys, A new extension (and a fair bit of nagging) means that my beloved 4200 is up for sale. The car is slightly 'up' on miles but as you will see from the advert below she has had the necessary money lavished on her (over £10k in the last 2 years alone). Should provide the next owner...

    4200 hot starting issue - please help.

    Hi I purchased a 53 plate 4200 Coupe CC a few months ago and I absolutely love it! Unfortunately, out of the blue, it has developed a hot starting issue. I wondered if anyone had encountered a similar problem? Symptoms are:- Laboured starting unless attempting to start from cold. At...
