Today $21,000 · modelled median at five years $24,603
Solid line: the value this library has carriedDashed from 2026: modelled · even money $19,204 to $30,223
The green band is the even-money range and the one to plan on: half of outcomes land inside it. The pale band behind it bounds eight in ten ($14,338 to $35,287). The path is this model's own: it starts along the momentum of its recorded history and bends toward its projected median as the horizon lengthens, so no two cars share a future curve.

The verdict

Strong within its price band. Scores 48/100, ranking 13 of 46 in the under $30k band. Scarcity is the strongest input, liquidity the weakest.
Running it costs about $6,250 a year (29.8% of value), which is what the economics score measures. All in, including the projected value change, it is $5,817 a year.
The model's five year median is $24,603, a +17.2% move, with the tenth percentile at $14,338.

Scored against every recent Australian sale this library holds, half its values land within 11.2 per cent of the price paid and the rest miss by more, in either direction. Projections are therefore damped toward flat in proportion to how little is known, and the plausible band is never narrower than the error the model is known to make.

2 completed Australian sales of 4 rows. Rows marked asking, no sale, or context are shown for honesty but do not count toward the evidence grade: an ask is not a transaction, a pass-in is a refusal, and a provenance or overseas result does not price the ordinary local car. The badge on every row is computed by the same rule as the grade, so the two cannot drift apart.

No forecast is used to compute the hurdle. It is the purchase, the duty, any premium and 5 years of running cost, grossed up for the cost of selling and spread back over the hold. The projection it is measured against is the weakest number in this product and is drawn that way in the chart above. Transport, finance and any restoration spend sit outside it.

The case for and against

The case for

Giugiaro's Italdesign shape is the whole case and it has aged better than almost anything else from 2005, which is why the model is now bottoming out rather than still falling. The V6 Q4 manual is the rare combination: all-wheel drive, a six-speed manual and 191kW, at a fifth of the $94,950 it cost new. Timing chains rather than belts make it materially cheaper to keep than the Busso Alfas it is usually shelved beside.

The case against

Running costs are 34.7 per cent of the car's value every year, which means the car has to gain roughly a third of itself annually just to leave you square. Two Australian auction results are the whole local record, three years apart and 41 per cent apart, so the value still leans partly on guides and one asking price. The engine is a GM High Feature derivative rather than the Busso, which caps the enthusiast premium the badge might otherwise earn, and at 1,625kg with a front-drive-derived platform it was never the driver's car the styling promises.

Known faults and risks

Two Australian auction results, which this record previously said did not exist

$27,000 at 63,483km in Jindalee, Queensland on 30 April 2026, and $16,005 at 126,722km in Vermont, Victoria on 31 May 2023. A third car at 193,414km failed to sell at Keilor on 25 June 2026.

The two sales cannot be used to fit a distance curve

They are 63,000 kilometres apart and 41 per cent apart in price, which would imply 6.4 per cent per 10,000 kilometres - implausibly steep - but they are also three years apart in a rising market, so time and distance are hopelessly confounded in a sample of two. The distance penalty stays at its assumed 1.2.

The value moves $18,000 to $21,000,

Deliberately short of what the April 2026 result alone implies. Taken out to the distance this record expects, that sale supports about $24,000; one transaction plus a recent no-sale on a high-distance car does not justify going the whole way.

The asks on this record now read differently

A $24,990 dealer ask that looked far above the market when this record carried $18,000 is an ordinary margin over $21,000.

The Q4 caveat

All three lots are described simply as 3.2 V6 and all are manual. The Australian 3.2 JTS was the Q4 all-wheel-drive car, so they are almost certainly the specification this record covers, but the listings do not say so. SOURCING: aggregator-surfaced auction results, not confirmed against the auction house, which is the weakest evidence grade in this library. Replace with a published figure when one appears.

This record used to say the model had never come to public auction in this country,

And everything that follows was written under that assumption: the value was set from published guides, one live asking price and the international record, which is the second-weakest grade in this library. The two sales above supersede it. The guides and the ask are now a cross-check rather than the basis of the number.

The engine is not a Busso, and that matters twice

The 3.2 JTS is a derivative of the GM High Feature V6 - the Alloytec family - fitted with Alfa's own direct injection and TwinPhaser variable timing, and the engine record states it was built in Australia by GM Holden. Buyers who price this car as the last of the Busso line are pricing a different engine, and the correction usually goes downward. But it also cuts the other way on cost: the High Feature runs timing chains, so this car does not carry the several-thousand-dollar belt service every three to four years that dominates the running cost of a 156 GTA.

This entry prices the V6 Q4, not the 2.2

Australia got both, at $94,950 and $69,990 respectively, and they are different cars in specification and in market: 191kW and all-wheel drive against 136kW and front drive. Guides price them barely apart, which is a guide problem rather than a market one.

What the guides say

CarsGuide, using Glass's data, puts a 2007 3.2 V6 at $8,250 to $11,660; carsales' own guide puts the same car at $11,100 to $15,700. Both are trade-weighted and both understate an enthusiast coupe that is now bottoming out.

What the market asks

A 2010 3.2 V6 manual in Blu Montecarlo over Poltrona Frau leather, 103,909km, is currently at $24,990 at a Victorian dealer, and its carsales specification line carries the [IMP] suffix, which denotes an imported rather than Australian-delivered car. That is an ask and not a transaction.

International context, four results only

A 2006 manual coupe made US$15,750 on Bring a Trailer in May 2026 at 135,000km and a 2006 Sky View made US$14,500 in April 2026; in Britain a 2008 Brera S Prodrive made GBP6,250 in December 2025 and a 2009 Spider GBP4,300 in January 2026. Converted, the good American manual coupes land near A$23,000 and the British cars near half that. Four results across two markets cannot support a trend and none is claimed.

Production and delivery figures

21,661 Brera coupes were built across all engines between 2005 and 2010; the V6 Q4 is a small fraction of that and no separate figure is published. The Australian delivery count here is an estimate and is not sourced. Survivors are put slightly above deliveries because private imports have supplemented the local fleet, which the live listing above demonstrates.
