The ALFA ROMEO 156 (1998-06) 4DR SALOON 2.5 V6 24V VELOCE 2 6SPD is a four-door, petrol-powered sports saloon, offering a characterful alternative to family cars. In the UK market it sat between family transport and executive models, with room for passengers and luggage, prioritising style and an engaging drive. Veloce trim and the V6 make this 156 especially appealing to drivers who value distinctive Italian design and smooth, responsive performance over low running costs. It can suit enthusiasts, couples or small families, and makes a more involving alternative to a BMW 3 Series or Audi A4 of similar age; it is less suited to budget-focused commuting. mycarcheck.com has just one recorded lookup for this exact version, so its figures are a snapshot, not a reliable market average: that record shows £500 private-sale value, 176,000 miles, 3,000 miles a year and 10 previous keepers. Check condition and history carefully.
