Let's face facts. Precious few of us buy a coupe because of the way it drives. In most cases they drive identically to the saloon model they're often based on. Coupes tend to be bought for something less tangible. Call it a sense of occasion, whatever, but it's that heart warming feeling you get when you see it outside your house and swell with pride that it's yours. Few coupes do a better job of tugging the heart strings than Alfa Romeo's Brera and here we take a look at whether a used example really is worth your while.

About the Alfa Romeo Brera

A used Alfa Romeo Brera is a complex proposition. Although the car itself is mechanically quite robust, used prices are currently quite firm but may not always remain so. A critical mass of buyers moving out of the market could do for the Brera as it did for the residuals of the Chrysler Crossfire. Therefore it's probably wisest to either aim to keep your Brera for a limited spell, opt for a lower priced and more depreciation-proof 2.2-litre petrol car or close your eyes and hope for the best. On the plus side, Breras are unlikely to have been driven particularly hard and are easy to find.

Representative finance example

If your borrow amount is £7,000 with a deposit of £1,000, a selected term of 48 months, at a representative APR of 17.9% (fixed) and an annual fixed interest rate of 17.9%, you would pay £171.83 per month. Total charge for credit would be £2,247.84 and total amount repayable is £8,247.84.
