If those old style rims and dated steering wheel beside the ZF8 transmission were not installed
To be honest with you I pick M6 over B6 all day everyday but to each his own

Agree ^^^ ... certainly subjective, but those wheels belong on a Hyundai from my perspective. I'm not a fan of the heavy piping on the seats either; not sure if this Alpina has that treatment, but I've noticed that some rock the old man interior touches.

Alpina wheels belong to a Hyundai?
So with this logic Hyundai wheels should belong to an Alpina as well?

don't worry what they think - what do YOU think - it's a completely different car with a different purpose than the M6. That a pretty good price, I would imagine.

Alpina wheels are iconic. Everyone knows what they are and what they mean. If the B6 suits your driving style and gives you what you want, go for it. I certainly wouldn't kick it out of bed for eating crackers.

oh - you should have been more specific, then! Not a whole lot of comparables for a B6, are there?

so its depreciated 38.5%. you are getting balance of factory warranty - is it a CPO car? Do they even CPO alpina cars? Any kind of service contract or extended warranty with it?

I'm pushing for extended warranty , the CA will let me know if they can extend it because the factory warranty expires on 10/18

I am not sure if they can cpo it, also banks were reluctant to lend some money since vin didn't show as alpina on their system , except PenFed which I used before

I would push for CPO - that would be the best result. If they won't CPO the car, you can try to use that as a bargaining chip to push the price lower.

Yes, that logic is correct. Only matters what you like; the price appears to be reasonable enough.

See what you can negotiate and get from a coverage standpoint. I don't recall seeing any on the road.

If the deal doesn't work out; how about an Alfa Giulia QV? About the same price.

I already have an M3, and I drove the alpha at the local Ferrari dealership in Orlando .
I didn't like the car too much, I will not see myself driving it every day. Also the Alfa seems to have only 1 yr 10k miles standard warranty, I put about 15-20k miles a year



About a newer b6, like a 2016, there is no other one for sale around.
