Giulietta TBi at 60k+

[parabolica]

I'm considering a Giulietta as my next car and seen a nice example in Cloverleaf trim at a good price; mileage is just north of 60k. Performance wise I've heard only good things from owners and they seem to be a little known gem, but I'm wondering what the maintenance schedule is like north of 60k and if anyone has experience of them? From what I understand there is a big service at 72k with cambelt, then next service is 90k? Typically keep my cars for 3 years/30k.

Here's a page showing the breakdown of costs for various Giulietta models and jobs from the Alfa Workshop site, might help you a bit:

Oh and I just noticed on that same page there are other tabs for the Giulietta dealing with parts, buyer's guide, how to guides etc.

Had the 1750 engine in my 159 TBi and took it up to 89K miles. The cambelt on these is 63k or 4 years (absolute max of 5 years) so the car will be needing one, I used Alfa Workshop for mine and it was £450ish but I had the waterpump done at the same time.

Other than that you'll have a spark plug service at 84K and the rest are standard oil and filter ones. It's a good engine but you need to know about the specific turbo oil feed pipe and filter issues that I'm sure are the same on a G as a 159, it's known about though so can be sorted. Few issues with leaking fuel injectors causing oil dilution and early turbo failure, again known about (talk to Autolusso).

The rest of it is standard Alfa stuff, they are pretty robust cars. Would highly recommend Alfa Workshop for the 1750 engine cars.

Thank you both; car is with a well-known AR specialist in London and their service prices are similar to the links. Turbo was recon'd a year ago and cambelt done at 42k so ahead of time. Good to know they are fairly robust; pretty tempted by the example I saw!
