Cars, Engines Valves and Se

Last week I sold a newish (about 2002) alfa romeo to a customer, who was a raving alfa romeo fan. Apparently his second car from alfa he adored the styling, build quality and looks - “to hell with the price” was his exact words. I kinda didn’t like that alfa exactly - in fact I am not a huge fan of all alfa romeo’s per se’, I think the problems stated in the latter part of the 1990’s still plague the cars, but nether-the-less this was a low mileage alfa and I considered it to be a good buy and a good sell - mutually benificial.

This idea was blown apart when the driver brought it back - he said the clutch seems shallow and its just not the same as his old alfa and that he was now going to go and buy a modified car from somewhere else. I was shocked and confirmed in the same instance.
