2005 \u2013 Alfa GT \u2013 TYPE 937<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Today I was standing up at 4:00 am to drive around 520 km to Bavaria to review and purchase a 2005 Alfa Romeo GT 1.9 JTD for a cheap price\u2026
issue 1 \u2013 the owner a young Student \u2013 HE said that there is a \u201csmall rust issue\u201d with the right Sill and just some smaller color issues on the left Sill\u2026
issue 2 \u2013 replacement Engine. it got replaced 4 years ago by the previous owner\u2026

so\u2026 waking up early and preparing for a longer drive sounds good but my Navi was deleting the card material and i have to re-install it. I finally started to drive the \u201cshort-distance\u201d at 5:20 am\u2026

Around 11:30 i saw the Alps\u2026 awesome! I knew I was driving close to the Austrian border and would see them but the first look was quite impressive\u2026

I was driving the last 20 km and they were quite bigger! I just forgot to take more pictures\u2026
Arriving in Pei\u00dfenberg \u2013 I was directly seeing the car. The first small look told me that it looks really nice\u2026 i was walking to the door and the young guy opened the door already with a \u201chi\u201d.
he started to show me \u201cHIS CAR\u201d and his father stepped out of the door as well\u2026 the boy started to show me the car and we talked about some topics.. I directly saw that the sills have more than a rust issue. The father said that this is caused by the fact that the Sills got re-painted in the winter period 2 years ago and it was cold. I told him \u2013 if this is the case \u2013 then I wouldn\u2019t work with this painter anymore but I was also guessing that the painter was using the wrong primer who caused that the final Paint is peeling off. looking under the left side also displays that there is a bigger issue with the sill and I do need some more work to fix it\u2026
The front of the car has a dent, the rear right side has some minor surface scratches and you can see the primer. the right door has a dent and the same in the rear seat area on the right side\u2026 but nevertheless, the Young student was still presenting the car to me and was doing whatever I asked him. he started the engine which took 2 sec for ignition but this might be due to the cold winter. The car itself is not driven for a month and the German T\u00dcV is over and we can\u2019t really test it further.
so far so good, as the engine is replaced and the Kilometer is unknown \u2013 I already told him via Facebook that this is the biggest risk and I can not and will not pay a lot. due to the fact that we have already defined a price via Facebook and I was expecting that the sills are already done, i was not trying to negotiating again. The price of 500\u20ac was fair and if in the worst case the car is not surviving then I would be able to sell it in parts or as one piece and have plus\/minus zero\u2026
IF we would deal about a higher price and a working car I would for sure negotiate but not this time\u2026

We signed the contract with all details and I paid the 500 bucks to the boy.
BTW\u2026 I do like how the father was reacting the whole time. He let the boy doing it, discussing, explaining, presenting and he was more in the background \u2013 the boy needs experience, and being in the background was a good decision.

Right now I am sitting here at home, searching for a company who could transport the car to me. The cheapest one would like t get 328\u20ac so far. I made a counteroffer of 300\u20ac let’s see what will be the final price\u2026

I am continuing when the car gets delivered\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n
