The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Drivers side exterior door handle needs to be replaced (part included in sale, rear bumper is cosmetically damaged, speedometer works when it wants to, very small hole in passenger and drivers seat, dash cut for aftermarket stereo, SPICA light stays lit and car is hard to start due to a custom made fuel pump return by my mechanic. Once the car is started the fuel pressure is fine and the car will run to hell and back. Easy to start when engine is warm. Car has aftermarket driver side rear view mirror."

Overall the car is in Good condition in my honest opinion.  It has been in my family for about 4 years now.  The last 2-3 years were spent in WV and FL.  I just recently had the car repaired, inspected, and titled here in Virginia to get her road worthy again.  The rear pinion seal had gone, and it was leaking fuel.  I had my auto mechanic at DIA Automotive in Virginia Beach, VA replace the rear pinion seal, all fuel lines, fuel filters, and fuel pump.  There is a fuel pump return for these cars that he was unable to find a part for so he custom made one. It's a little hard to start because of the custom fuel return, but it runs great once it cranks over. The car has new spark plugs, a bunch of new parts in the trunk most of which I do not know what all of them are, but there is a new door handle (the drivers side is broken like most of these cars I have seen around).  The wheels on this car are beautiful, and it has an Abarth exhaust.  The top looks great and I've had no leaks since I took it out of storage, but it hasn't been driven in the rain either.  I drive it 1-2 times a week mostly Sundays.  The car will come with the toneau cover, and the Virginia inspection sticker is less than 30 days old.  The car also comes with ALL of the original service documents, owners manual, and a few other random items the previous owners held on to.  


I have added a stereo to the car (Pioneer DEH-4400HD,and infinity reference 6x9's in sealed boxes behind the seats The antenna works, but looks like it was broken off.... the car receives all the local stations though).  The interior on the car is a solid 7.5 out of 10 in my personal opinion.  The exterior is about a 9.  I get more compliments driving this car than I do my 2004 WRX STi.  My problem is I am 6'7'' and my girlfriend is 6'0'' we can't keep this car it's too difficult for either of us to drive regularly.  

The car was gifted to me by my parents.  They bought it in PA while they were living in WV, had it titled in FL when they moved down there, and I had it titled here in VA.  Title in hand ready to go.

Please message me for any specific questions or further details.  I can take pictures or videos of whatever you like.  This car is beautiful and I hate to see it go, but honestly I'm not at a point that I can afford a fancy toy car like this and I'm just physically way too big for it.  It has less than 58,000 miles on it right now I just listed the mileage higher because I do drive it around still and will until the day it is sold.  It's not comfortable on my long legs and knees, but the waves, and smiles I get from people with the top down are too much fun.  This car has TONS of life left in it and cruises on the interstate, lights up your face with a smile for every on/off ramp, and is going to make whoever buys it very happy!  Please don't be afraid to ask me anything as I'm not trying to hide any details about the car.  

Upon completion of the auction a minimum of a $500 deposit must be made, and I will not ship the car and sign over the title until I have received full payment for the vehicle.  BUYER will be responsible for shipping or picking up the vehicle here in Virginia Beach VA.  I will not pay for or be responsible for trailer transport of the vehicle, but I am willing to drive it up to 85 miles from Virginia Beach VA.  US BIDDERS ONLY UNLESS YOU HAVE SHIPPING EXPERIENCE & PLANS.

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.

Marchionne uses racial epithet to describe what must power future Alfa Romeo models

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Sergio 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?

Fiat set to invest $12B on new models, stop Euro losses in 3 years

Mon, 09 Dec 2013

Naturally, you'd expect a massive automaker like Fiat to have an in-depth plan to exit the current European-market doldrums, and you'd expect that plan to include plenty of new vehicles to attract those precious buyers that still remain despite the financial downturn. And you'd be right, though Fiat does seem to have a few unexpected twists up its corporate sleeve.
Perhaps the biggest shocker is a report that Fiat will completely drop the Punto, a car with mass-market appeal aimed at small-car buyers cross-shopping the popular Volkswagen Polo. Its replacement will be a five-door Fiat 500 aimed at upmarket buyers (sounds awfully similar to the 500L) that will be built in Poland. Lower-end customers will reportedly be served by variants of the Fiat Panda.
Borrowing a page from the BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen playbook, reports Automotive News, Fiat is said to have plans to reignite production at its Italian factories by retooling them to build high-end vehicles from Maserati and Alfa Romeo. These will be marketed as premium products, built by skilled Italian workers (who are paid wages that are 75-percent higher than those building Fiats in Poland), and will be sold around the world.
