Shopping for a car

Been trailing around the North East today looking for a new car after my Accord was written off following last month's incident. Looking good is an Alfa Romeo 156 2.5 V6. Having driven it now, it certainly drives as well as it looks and even has a slightly more comfortable driving position than the Type-R (although only based on all of 30 minutes' experience). There are a couple of nice examples around, so it's a case of finding the right deal now and hopefully I can get it sorted on Monday.
