The ALFA ROMEO 166 (1999-05) 4DR SALOON 3.0 SUPER TURISMO is a large, four-door executive saloon, aimed at buyers wanting more space and presence than a family hatchback. In the UK used-car market it is an older alternative to premium saloons such as the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, with Italian character. It suits experienced drivers or couples seeking longer-distance travel and a distinctive, sized cabin, rather than first-time motorists focused on low running costs. The 3.0-litre V6 gives the Super Turismo a spirited, characterful feel than mainstream saloons, while its elegant styling and rarity help it stand apart from German rivals. mycarcheck.com has recorded six checks, covering six different VINs, so this is a small sample rather than a broad reliability picture. Those records show an average private-sale valuation of £500, mileage of 88,000 and 5,000 miles annually, with 3.5 previous keepers on average; check each car’s history and condition carefully.
