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).

Chrysler earns $1.7B in 2012, revises product plans for US
Wed, 30 Jan 2013Hot on the heels of Ford's earnings announcement for the year that was, Chrysler today reported a 2012 net income of $1.7 billion, up substantially from the comparatively minuscule $183 million profit earned in 2011 when it repaid its US government loans.
Chrysler's good year ended with an excellent fourth quarter that saw net income rise 68 percent from $225 million in 2011 to $378 million. Where are all those extra earnings coming from? Market share, which Chrysler saw increase to 11.4% last year on sales of 1.65 million vehicles. In fact, the Auburn Hills, MI-based automaker out-paced the industry's market growth of 13 percent last year with sales up 21 percent for the year.
The company also revealed an updated product plan for its Chrysler Group and Fiat brands that looks all the way out to 2016. It's an updated version of the plan introduced in 2009 shortly after Fiat took control of the American automaker, and includes such new additions as an Alfa Romeo model, likely the 4C, to be introduced in the US this year, as well five more Alfa models by 2016. Likewise, Fiat will be growing by an additional seven models in the coming few years.
Marchionne threatens to move Alfa production out of Italy
Fri, 12 Jul 2013Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne was unsurprisingly frank when asked by reporters about potential investments in Italian manufacturing for Alfa Romeo and Maserati, giving the Italian government the ultimatum, "Italy should decide if they want [Alfa Romeo's relaunch] to happen here or not as Fiat and Chrysler have several alternatives." Them's fightin' words.
Fiat's issue with the government stems directly from its courtroom clashes with the Fiom labor union. The two are currently embroiled in proceedings over longer shifts and shorter breaks, as Fiom has so far refused to sign a new contract citing revised labor laws that it says are anti-union.
According to Bloomberg, Fiat will be spending over $2.5 billion on development of eight new Alfas and six new Maseratis, in a bid to wrest some of the luxury pie away from BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi. But that's only going to happen if the government is willing to play ball and make life easier on Fiat.
Marchionne uses racial epithet to describe what must power future Alfa Romeo models
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Sergio Marchionne and his Fiat empire have a lot riding on the US return of the Alfa Romeo brand. The endeavor has been in progress for what feels like a lifetime - certainly for as long as Fiat has had the Chrysler brand under its Italian wing.
It's not surprising that Fiat CEO Marchionne needs a perfect first Alfa to mark a return to America. And here's where things get dicey. Nobody would argue with Marchionne's insistence that Alfa Romeo's be powered by Italian engines - as Marchionne himself is quoted to have said at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, "There are some things that are well done in Italy."
If not what he said, then, it's how he said it that has eyebrows raised. "I cannot come up with a schlock product, I just won't. I won't put an American engine into that car. With all due respect to my American friends, it needs to be a wop engine." Wait, what's that?
