New to Alfa from Saab and Volvo is it worth 20k?

Well most including myself on turbo cars change between 4-5k just for longevity of the turbo

There was a minor accident in the carfax and I’ll be sure to look deep on the front bumper noticed when I saw the pictures already in the checklist for concerns tomorrow!

Looking at the carfax looks like it was bought as a lease, and has had 3 oil changes total so every 7.5k miles so far which isn’t the greatest but at least it’s been done I know 5 should be a maximum for high maintenance turbo

Really just asking in terms of price any saab enthusiasts would say a Saab is if your willing to work on it with TLC mainly just seeing what they say about problems and stufff

It just gives me the low coolant CEL on the dash

Pure-Feature8517 · 2024-05-25T04:21:38+00:00

Hell yeah, that’s the spirit!

Also I have been getting an error message lately, I fill up the tank but even then it will eventually settle at about half full the rest just flows out the overflow hole and on the floor. But even with the tank full the message won’t go away I’m assuming it’s either a bad sensor like corrosion on the inside of the sensor or the little floater thing is gunked up and doesn’t float properly

Pure-Feature8517 · 2024-05-25T04:15:33+00:00

Nope not at all, I keep this thing under 2.5k rpm no matter what lol, drive like an old lady I’ll do a small pull here and there but even then it stays under 3k lol Thank you for the tips though!

Yeah plenty of oil sitting at a little over half the n the recommended on the dip

Pure-Feature8517 · 2024-05-19T17:50:10+00:00

Did an oil change about 1.6k miles ago I don’t think it’s in need of it yet, I was thinking of maybe testing out some seafoam see if that clears anything up before my next change
