Better than other reviews would suggest!

There are two camps in these reviews: those who absolutely have had an awful experience and those who have had a great one. But either party are poles apart, which leads me to think that I might have been lucky in my recent purchase of an Alfa Spider from AT Cars, because for the most part, it was a positive experience. Covid didn't help as I couldn't get the car inspected before deciding to buy, but I took the plunge and was pleasantly surprised to find that my own assessment of the condition of the car was generally correct, later confirmed by an Alfa specialist garage and that Angelo was prepared to adjust the purchase price accordingly. Of course, I am not out of the 3-month warranty period yet ... But in summary, I don't have a problem with Angelo or his colleagues, they were polite and friendly. They MOT'd the car before I collected it, put in a new battery, replaced a ball joint and patched up the leaky exhaust (which I knew about). There was a broken sun visor that hadn't been fixed ... which I noticed when I test drove it, but it's hardly a deal-breaker. Moral of the story: if you aren't confident with secondhand car buying, ALWAYS get the one you'd like inspected by an expert, the additional cost will pay itself back in spades. Otherwise you are in the lap of the Gods!
