In 2009, I bought a 2002 156 2.4JTD Veloce Sportwagon with 96,000 miles from a private seller for, if I recall correctly, £1900. Full service history supplied. The seller had just bought a 159.
It ran it to 134,000 miles in just over 2 years, but not without incident. It constantly needed suspension parts, there were numerous electrical gremlins and It had a decent appetite for tyres.
Having said that, I loved it. This 159 seems well overpriced to me, but if you can find a decent priced example then do it, as long as you're prepared for a labour of love.
