ITEM DESCRIPTION:   Selling my 1995 Alfa Romeo due to having a hard time finding qualified Alfa Romeo technician in Phoenix, AZ.  The car has been in my family since brand-new, purchased off the showroom floor at ALGAR Enterprises Inc. in Rosemont, PA.  It has always been garage kept and well maintained with thousands of dollars in receipts.  It now has 179K miles, no accident damage/clean CARFAX report, clean and clear Arizona title,  runs and drives beautifully but has the following issues that would need to be addressed:

AC compressor bearing is failing will need to be replaced.

Driver side door only opens from outside due to broken cable on inside door handle

Rear tires in good condition, front tires will need to be replaced

Front leather seats are rough, rear in good condition

Hood and trunk do not stay open

Small dent on right rear panel (photo11)

The factory carpet on driver's side is damaged by battery acid spill and covered by Alfa Romeo floor mats

Passenger side mirror adjuster does not work.

Front windows and sunroof work, rear windows do not

Gas cap needs to be opened from inside of trunk, electric opener does not work

Has minor scratches from normal use.

Bumper covers look fair but have some fading

Although it needs some attention, it is a solid running, beautiful exotic car with shortcomings to be expected from a 18 year old vehicle.  There are very few miles on clutch and belts (replaced last year with the car only being driven on weekends)  Lights and turn signals in good working order, heater works, AC will need freon charge and compressor bearing replacement.  I have described this car to the best of my ability and I would be happy to answer any questions and concerns you may have.  Best method of contact would be through eBay message as I work in an area with intermittent phone coverage 602-281-2918.  Reserve is very realistic compared to completed listings of such a rare car.  Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs and I will be glad to assist with any necessary shipping arrangements.

The new Alfa Romeo Giulia needs to be a BMW beater

Mon, Apr 11 2016

The introduction of the Alfa Romeo Giulia as a BMW challenger is a claim that historically has meant that it will not be as good as a BMW. Mercedes, Audi, Lexus, Infiniti, Cadillac, and a few others have tried to loosen BMW's grip on the sports sedan market with little success. It was BMW that was doing the copying when in the early sixties they looked to Alfa Romeo's sport sedans for inspiration. Alfa Romeo's pre-war racing pedigree was second to none, and series production Alfas were sporting twin cam engines, and fuel injection years before BMW. What the post-war Alfa cars did not offer was reliability and an North American dealer network that knew how to service or sell their products. Consequently in 1995 Alfa abandoned the US market. Now it is the Alfa Giulia taking aim at the BMW 3-series. The Fiat/Chrysler group has a lot of resources (think Ferrari), and the engineering chops to beat BMW at its own game, but it will take a long time to build a reliable dealer network, not to mention the quality issues that have dogged them for decades. Alfa will follow what has become a familiar recipe to challenge the 3-series. With 3 sets of trim available, the most affordable model, the Giulia, and further upscale, Giulia ti, both with a turbocharged 4-banger and 276 HP compares favorably with the BMW 328i and the Audi A4. The 505 HP Giulia flagship is shooting for the M4/3. Good luck with that, Alfa. A delayed introduction hints of troubles to come. Unfortunately for Alfa both the Audi A4 and BMW 3-series have millions of dedicated fans, most of whom do not have to be reminded about their automobile's pedigree. Millennial have never had the chance to aspire for an Alfa, and the older generations that still remember them are only a very small share of the market. Alfa has to avoid joining the automotive graveyard of models that have tried to attain BMW's status. Just to be cruel I will mention the Cadillac Cimarron. If you are too young to remember, it was the cheapest Chevy front wheel drive platform with a Cadillac badge. Panned by both GM management and the automotive press, it was a spectacular flop. I hope that the executives of the Fiat/Chrysler group remember it well. We do not need a Fiat in a stylish suit.

This Alfa Romeo Spider is a four-wheeled fountain of youth

Wed, Jan 20 2016

For some, the only real way to experience a direct connection with nature while driving is to be piloting a convertible. Keith Helmetag is one such individual. His 1969 Alfa Romeo Spider fulfills his desire to commune with the outdoors on the road, while simultaneously reminding Helmetag of his youth. The Spider's flowing lines especially appealed to Helmetag's eye as a designer. He loved the nose's pointed shape and the boat-tail rear's downward arch to the narrow taillights. To make it his own, he removed the badges and added plastic headlight covers to bring the Alfa's look closer to the original clay model it was styled after. Helmetag's design tweaks pair with a few engine modifications to create a roadster that perfectly fits its owner's relaxed style. Check out this Alfa as Petrolicious takes a drive along tree-lined roads, which are great surroundings to match the Spider's green paint. Related Video:

2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia still makes us swoon

Wed, Sep 16 2015

It may have debuted in June, but Alfa Romeo's hot new Giulia makes its first public appearance at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show this week. And even though we've told you all there is to know right now, we just can't resist bringing you another set of photos, and another round of praise. Alfa is once again showing the Giulia in top-of-the-line Quadrifoglio spec, complete with a twin-turbocharged V6 that's said to make around 510 horsepower. We already know it sounds awesome, and all we can say is, watch out BMW M3. Alfa Romeo is quoting a 0-62 time of less than four seconds, and we're told the car will have the quickest steering in its class. Sounds good to us. The Giulia will officially launch in early 2016, and while the top-trim Quadrifoglio will probably start around $70,000 or $75,000, less-aggressive, more mainstream models will also be available. There's talk of four-cylinder power with both gasoline and diesel motivation, but it's unclear exactly what's in sore for the US-spec car. Still, it's exciting to see the new Giulia, and we're eager to drive Alfa's latest when it goes on sale next year. <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p> Related Video:
