Do
not bother with the Alfa, it really is that simple. You have to be a special kind of idiot to own an Alfa, I know I own one.......
If I were buying on the second-hand market looking for a fishing car which can carry a few mates, all our gear, rides nicely, is cheap to run, is practical, doesn't cost a fortune to run and has
enough off road 4x4 ability then I'd look at trying to find a low mileage diesel Kangoo Trekka.
Actually.... I

If it were a single vehicle that had to multi-task then I'd probably bite the bullet and opt for a Skoda Yeti.

ah ha
).
The choice really is almost endless.
