I am selling my Maserati's little friend as I have been told off by the wife and its a pain getting my daughter in and out of the back.

I have only had it for around 4 months and done around 2,000 miles in that time.

Its a 2010 Alfa Mito Cloverleaf, 170BHP
Gun Metal Grey
Sports Wheel with Red Calipers
Full Black leather interior (Great condition - and not that common in these)
44,250 miles
2 Keys
Tyres Fine
Had a service when I bought it - and they check brake pads and discs etc
Pics attached.IMG_5268.jpgIMG_5262.jpgIMG_5258.jpg

Its a little pocket rocket and looks fantastic.
I have a potential 4 door lined up hence the price.
I would like to keep it but can't afford the 3 cars + wife's.

4500 o.n.o

I can't find one on Autotrader with this Spec (full leather, good colour combination etc) and miles for that price.

Will consider sensible offers esp forum members.

Hmmm.. We were just talking about getting on of these. Not the best timing for me though. Looks great.

Thanks mate. I have always liked the look of it, and its been a pleasure to own.
First time I have had to sell a car I haven't got bored of.
Its so little money for a lot of car, I am hoping it moves fast. TBH though I have been offered a part ex figure near as dammit that price, I just don't want the garage to get a bargain, and it opens up the possibility for a private buy as well as a trade one.

Shame it isn't a 5 door as I would have had it.....however you wouldn't have been selling then I guess!

I'll ask the boss if a 3 door is workable. Looks a nice car.

I know nothing about these. Is it petrol? Manual? Got any pics of the inside & back?

Not been much of a fan of the Mito to be honest, but I like that a lot. If I could step away from my Panda, I'd be seriously considering it, but... dare I say it, I think my Panda is a a keeper! :O

Its Petrol mate - i think 1.6litre. 170 bmp. Manual (Had to be to enjoy it)
Its has the alfa 'DNA' system so you can select how sporty you want it - its hilarious putting it up into dynamic - totally changes how it drives and it shoots off.
Pretty economic and looks stunning.

I will get some pics of the inside and back and send them over. The inside of this is the selling point IMHO in addition to colour combo - its full black leather with the embroidered Alfa logo in the seats. Not many around online that I can see.

Agreed mate. The standard 1.4's with cloth trim and no bodykit just dont do it for it for. When I saw this one though I had to have it. Definitely heart over head. My wife wont let me forget it

Perfect, thanks. Gives me a fighting chance discussing with the boss with some nice pictures

Where you based? Don't say South Wales!

Why? Xenophobic people like you are responsible for Trump and Brexit...
Since the pits closed my only hope of scraping a living together was to retrain as a plastic surgeon.

Yep - Swansea - thats not too far from you - just off the M4.

Hi

has this got any service history?

Cheers

Yes - I think it has had 3 or 4. It has the original service book. First one done at Alfa and the other two at specialists I believe.
I bought it around 3-4 month ago and done circa 2k miles in it.
I specifically asked them to check all brake pads and discs before sale and they replace the back 2 pads I think. All else was fine.
I think its pretty cheap to service and maintain from my understanding.

Sorry, no nothing against any one from Wales as I love the place and have spent much time there over the years. Just seems I have bought an awful lot of cars from Wales and just bought the QP from Cardiff a few weeks back. I'd love to buy a car from someone local around the corner one day ;)

Swansea is a fair bit further than Cardiff especially by train. I'm looking at a 5 hr train journey then 3+ hours back and that is 8+ hours I really don't have at the moment.

I am picking up a car in Newcastle On Friday!
15 hour round trip. Its got the specs I want at the right price - will be a hassle but I wont pay extra for convenience on principle!

Gees, good luck & good on you. I'm too old & too busy for these kind of journeys these days. It would have to be a very special car for me to want to do these journeys. Of course this is not in any way disrespecting your lovely Mito.

I wouldn't pay a premium for convenience but can't afford the time to squeeze a slightly better deal. I think that makes sense.

I have researched these prior to buying the Brera. Issues seem to be electric power steering can play up, and possibly engine issues, but just like any car look for it being used and well maintained. I do like that a lot.
