A bit more details during my ownership since November 2018.

-I’m the third owner

-Engine replaced in 2019 after just few months I purchased. Previous engine had lack of oil pressure and bottom end knock. Current engine is in really good condition. No oil consumption, no weird noise, no overheating issues. Endorsement done.

-Manual swapped done professionally by Alfa specialist in 2019, all gears engage fine with good clutch pedal feel. Most importantly, no more Selespeed issues to face.

-Car repainted in 2022, paint still good but needs a good polish, front bonnet and bumper needs a slight touch-up. Mostly been parked under shed.

-Front Lower Control Arms are fitted with Powerflex Bush, steering feel and response is sharper and quick , no more vagueness.

-Front Stabiliser Bar Bush also are replaced with Powerflex Bush, turns more stable but makes squeaky noise over speed bumps but that’s not an issue.

-ECU has been remapped professionally by a British tuner. Power and torque noticeably different, smooth instant and linear throttle response. No more sluggishness, heavy response known from these JTS engines.

-Some genuine Alfa Romeo 159 Ti accessories have been fitted like:

•Side skirts

•Brushed silver aluminium interior trims

•Satin-finished side mirror caps

•Larger front 330mm Brembo Brakes from Alfa Romeo

•Aluminium pedals

•Red stitching gear knob

•Red info dials and instrument cluster,

•Sporty steering wheel (but no red stitching like the Ti)

•Lowered to 25mm-35mm with Eibach Springs and Bilstein B8 shocks to give the sporty Ti look, drivable on any road.

•A set of 19” inch silver Ti rims, will be given to new owner

-No check engine light and other warnings.

-Headliner, A B C Pillars have been rewrapped with a plush black material.

-All 4 door card leathers reupholstered, plush material.

-Armrest leather reupholstered.

-Fitted boot lid spoiler to give the finished look at the rear end.

-All factory condition, no aftermarket accessories and unnecessary mods.

-A/C is cold even with one fan speed.

-No overheating problems

All comfort and safety features are working as should such as all 4 powered windows, radio, A/C, ABS, TCS, VDC, lights, central lock, reverse sensor, wipers, cruise control, steering wheel audio control.
Headlamps and wiper are not automated after the manual conversion.

Mileage done 242k km, engine around 201k km but doesn’t drive like a high mileage car.

*Only left a few basic wear and tear needs to be done. PM for more details.

No flood and accident damage in its history.
Repair and maintenance receipts are available.

Reason to sell? Planning to get a larger car for my family needs, also need an automatic car for long distance trips.

Car hasn’t been driven anywhere far for the past 2 years, only start it warm up and drive around the park.

Still catches people’s attention on the road.

RM42k, definitely negotiable for serious buyers.

PM or WhatsApp me for more details and pictures if you want to be the next owner. It’s one of the best cars I’ve driven.
