Selling a 1991 Alfa Romeo 164L with 239000 miles. I'm a mechanic and I have cared for this car for a long time (including tuning it and changing engine & transmission oil frequently). In fact, the engine oil pressure is the same as when the car was new despite the mileage. The engine runs smooth on all 6 cylinders (good compression) and transmission shifts good in all gears. The battery is brand new (paid $150). The car has recently been rear-ended and that put a dent in the back bumper and a crease in the left rear fender ; however, the car drives fine (I drive it to and from work 64 miles every day). I'm hoping to sell it to someone that is either willing to fix the rear end damage and other defects or use its parts to keep another 164 in top shape or take it apart and sell its parts. The parts for these cars are becoming hard to find and are worth many times more than the worth of the whole car. I'll be glad to answer any question you may have about this car. I just reduced the asking price because I need to part with this car.
Here is a list of the good components/features of the car: Recently replaced water pump and timing belt, engine doesn't burn oil (passed NJ inspection recently), new battery, V rated tires still in good conditions (another 10 to 20 thousand miles), well balanced rims and tires.
Here is a list of the defects that do not affect driving the car, but buyer may want to fix: Warning lights come on in dash due to grounding problem (such as oil pressure, ABS, temperature), airbag light comes on and needs to be reset, heat in car is operated via cable opening and closing manual valve, engine and transmission seals lose some oil, the breather hose on top of the gas tank is cracked and needs to be replaced, front brake rotors although they brake fine, they pulsate; they need to be turned or replaced along with front pads, frame for courtesy lights dome in car fell apart (I do have all parts), antenna is stuck up, AC doesn't work, the oxygen sensor needs to be replaced (causes the checkengine light to come on sometimes).

Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio is new SUV king of the 'Ring
Fri, Sep 29 2017It's been a couple years since the last Nurburgring SUV lap record was set by the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, a quick time of 7 minutes and 59 seconds making it the first SUV to pull off a sub-8 minute time. The Cayenne's glory days are over, though, as the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio just obliterated that time. Alfa's wild SUV with its Ferrari-based 510-horsepower twin-turbo V6 managed to whip around the north loop of the 'Ring in just 7 minutes and 51 seconds. Not only does that make it 8 seconds quicker than the Cayenne, it's an insane 23 seconds faster than the Land Rover Range Rover SVR, the record holder before Porsche. The Stelvio also was working with a notable power disadvantage compared with the Cayenne and the Range Rover. The Porsche packed 565 horsepower, and the Land Rover had 542 horsepower. View 9 Photos Alfa Romeo also got the whole lap on film, which you can view up above. The video also shows that the Stelvio had an aftermarket roll cage fitted for an extra layer of safety. Alfa didn't say anything about how that might affect performance or what may have been done to offset it. But as we always point out with these records, they shouldn't be taken too seriously, especially for the SUV segment, in which we can virtually guarantee no one will be attempting to replicate this lap time with their personal Stelvios.

Alfa Romeo's Super Bowl commercial is about dreams and reinvention [UPDATE]
Mon, Feb 6 2017Update 2: Alfa Romeo keeps rolling out the Super Bowl ads. The post has been changed to include the third ad and information about it. Update: Alfa Romeo had not one, but two new Super Bowl commercials, and this post has been edited to include the second one. Alfa Romeo's Super Bowl commercial talks about the things we've dreamed of since we were kids, like riding on dragons and flying cars. It also covers the various life lessons many of us learn, including how to be true to oneself. All the while, images of childhood, growing up, and vintage Alfa Romeos are spliced together. It covers some heartwarming ground, but it's all a bit broad and borderline vague. The idea seems to be that Alfa as a company has learned the same lessons we do growing up, and that it all pays off with its new models. The second ad is much better, and is all about Alfa's strengths: driving enjoyment, passion, and other cliched Italian automotive characteristics. It shows a new Giulia Quadrifoglio cruising some gorgeous mountain roads, and the driver talking about being one with the vehicle and loving the experience. The bit about letting something go if you love it was cheesy, but this was a commercial that really showed what Alfa Romeo is all about, and we liked it. Check it out above. Alfa's third Super Bowl ad of the night continues what the second one started. This one focuses on the most powerful Giulia's beauty, and, well, power. It's apparently both breath-taking and breath-giving. Check out the commercial above. Related Video: Image Credit: Alfa Romeo / YouTube Alfa Romeo Super Bowl Commercials Videos super bowl li
Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider rightfully fawned over by Petrolicious
Thu, Jan 16 2014Following the Top Gear adage "You can't be a true petrolhead until you've owned an Alfa Romeo," is rather difficult for those of us in North America. Faced with a distinct lack of new cars and an equally disturbing abundance of vintage basketcases, the road to Alfa ownership is a difficult one for residents of the new world. Where there's a will, there's a way, though, and the benefits certainly seem worthwhile, as we see with Casey Annis and his gorgeous 1962 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce 1600. Annis is the publisher and editor of Vintage Racecar Magazine, so he knows a thing or six about these classic Alfas. The video discusses his Alfa, which has been upgraded to Veloce specifications, as well as what the Alfa community is like as a whole. Petrolicious has the story on Annis and his Alfa in its latest video. Fans of classic Italians are not going to want to miss this one.
