The ALFA ROMEO 156 (1998-06) 4DR SALOON 2.0 TS LUSSO is a compact, four-door petrol saloon, offering an Italian alternative to everyday family cars. In the UK market it sits between practical mainstream saloons and more premium executive models, with styling and driver appeal central to its character. It is best suited to drivers who want a distinctive daily commuter or a comfortable car for couples and small families, rather than maximum space or low running costs. The Lusso version adds an upmarket feel, while the 156 is remembered for its elegant looks and enjoyable, lively road manners, helping it stand apart from rivals such as the Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Vectra. mycarcheck.com has recorded five checks across four VINs, so the sample is small. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £400, 98,000 miles, 4,000 miles a year and six previous keepers; verify each car’s history and condition carefully.
