Alfa Romeo 166. AED 12,000. What's the catch? Expensive parts? Or do they take ages to arrive if they need to be replaced?

It's deals like these that make me drool and I'm an impulsive buyer :D

^^ You are so not a impulsive buyer!! otherwise you would have had God knows what car by now :P ...

There is NO catch!! the car is good..only problem is PARTS!! ...these cars don't work so well in your neck of the woods!! ..they are better for Europe :)

This one specifically looks yuck, otherwise some of their cars make some mercs and bmws look very boring.. Parts for this model specifically is a nightmare.. Its like the Italian 7 series so suicidal maintenance and parts costs... but engine noise is... :D ..
