Previous owner (I'm the third), a keeper of several Alfas, owned this since 1998 and maintained it extremely well. Lead Mechanic Paul at Alfa specialists DiFatta Brothers in Baltimore says that the motor looks so clean that you'd think it had been replaced. This is a seriously nice Q. The car has absolutely no rust; it had been a southern MO car and I don't drive it on wet roads. Within the last 16K miles, the PO had the valve guides, engine wiring harness, and clutch assy replaced, and the flywheel resurfaced . Since I bought the car 9K miles ago, I replaced the suspension incl new Koni yellows (done by DiFatta), upgraded the radiator with DiFatta's custom all-metal oversized radiator, replaced the tired/partially-shrunk inst cluster hood with a new-old-stock hood, replaced the stock headlights with the Bosch and the stock airbag with the Euro style. PO installed gorgeous-sounding ANSA exhaust. Unplanned maintenance consisted of the replacement of the crank trigger sensor and the air flow meter. Receipts available. This car runs beautifully and needs absolutely no mechanical work. The engine will outlast me, no doubt. T-belt was done at 88K miles in Nov 2009. I planned on having it done next year. Seats are in excellent condition. Not perfect of course, but great for 19 years old. What does not work or is not perfect: The sunroof has the common issue that only allows it to go about 1/2 the way back (more than that it will bind). It pops up and down fine. The LCD doesn't work. The airbag is disabled (apparently); I removed the dash light. Could use new door speakers, though at volumes which allow you to still hear the engine, they're fine to my non-audiophile ears. I'll leave the speaker replacement to the buyer as he or she would know what they want. Seat heaters don't work. Easy enough to fix if you care (you would replace them).Cosmetic defects: small vertical crease near front of driver's door (see final pic – Zenders not included unfortunately). A few minor paint chips that were touched up previously (Ford Cardinal Red is a perfect match for the car's red; if I were keeping the car, I'd eventually take care of those myself). Stock wheels have some brake dust corrosion but not too bad. I'll add close-ups of those. I can give permission for those seriously interested to talk to Paul at DiFatta about the car. He will certainly confirm that this is a seriously nice car in all the important ways. There aren't a lot of Qs and this is one of the very nice ones. The 24V engine is easily the sweetest engine I've ever experienced. Amazing on the freeway; the best all-around car I've ever owned (and I've owned nearly thirty cars; with a minivan now in the family I no longer need an all-around car so am jumping into GTV6s). I had a V8 SHO at one time. On paper it has the same numbers as the Q but the tactile feel of each is worlds apart. I really enjoyed the SHO but the Q is on a totally different level. From what I'm told, a Q will also quickly leave a 12V 164 far behind on the highway. Please contact me only if you are seriously interested in this car; I appreciate casual interest but that is why we have the internet as a research tool. Also, absolutely no offers to help me sell the car, please. I am also advertising this car on a classic car site; I reserve the right to end this auction early if the car sells first through the other site. |

Alfa Romeo to launch eight new products by 2018, increase sales to 400K units
Tue, 06 May 2014
Alfa Romeo will go back to being the brand people admire, according to CEO Harald Wester.
After a few streams of news on the various brands in the Fiat Chrysler family, here's the deluge we've been waiting for - Alfa Romeo. The legendary Italian brand is being pointed towards a renaissance, as shown by the brand's five-year plan.
Alfa Romeo considering Ferrari-developed engines for new product lineup
Sun, 06 Apr 2014A report in Bloomberg adds more details to the plans for Alfa Romeo's fourth turnaround plan in Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne's tenure, and this time Ferrari is apparently going to be part of the show. In December Automotive News Europe reported that a new Maserati-derived rear-drive architecture would be the centerpiece at Alfa Romeo, as well as coming Chrysler and Dodge products. At the time, ANE said the platform would support a new midsize sedan and wagon perhaps to be called Giulia, a fullsize sedan and a midsize crossover, with retail appearance of the product initiative commencing perhaps as soon as next year. It would be part of Fiat's $12.3-billion spend on new models and European recovery.
The Bloomberg report says that particulars haven't been finalized, but the plan is to have six new Alfas appear over the next five years, two of which would be SUVs. The futures of the Mito and Giulietta, two of the three cars Alfa currently sells and 99 percent of sales last year, aren't assured, meaning that the lineup in six years could be seven cars (including the 4C), six of which we haven't any definitive clue of yet. The top-tier versions of those cars, according to the report - perhaps the Quadrifoglio Verde - "will be equipped with motors developed by Ferrari."
Marchionne wants to get sales up to 300,000 units per year when the lineup is complete, pairing Alfa sales with Jeep's global dealer network to open up the retail channel. That kind of volume would get Fiat's Italian plants back in business properly, even though Marchionne's stance on Italy-only Alfa production would mean the end of the anticipated roadster that was to be twinned with the coming Mazda MX-5 Miata. Alfa's direction will be laid out in Detroit in May as part of the overall strategy presentation for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV.
