I am in my seventies and it is time to sell my driver quality Alfa Romeo. Last fall I turned the car over to an experienced Alfa technician with the instructions to properly mechanically prep this vehicle for an eventual sale. Items that were fixed and/or improved include (but are not limited to) new front seal and pulley plus injection pump belt, new brake master cylinder and rubber wheel hoses, new high performance electronic ignition (RML?), new Bosch coil, new Bosch electric fuel pump and related fuel lines, new emergency brake cable and related hardware and, of course, all associated fluids and filters. Total cost for parts and labor (will include receipt) was $3267.43!!! After having worked on the car and having driven the car for a couple of days, the mechanic is convinced the odometer miles are true. The cockpit of the Alfa is in very nice, mostly original and in highly detailed condition. It still has the original rubber mats throughout. The floors are solid and I applied 3m sound control mats beneath the rubber. The door panels are straight and door jambs present very well. The engine compartment is clean and in original unaltered condition. The luggage compartment is also very clean, nicely detailed and it houses an almost new spare tire mounted on a bead blasted and refinished steel rim. The original working jack has been refinished along with the factory lug wrench. This is a color change car having been painted in base/clear coat some years ago by a previous owner. The original color was a factory off white (see photo of luggage compartment without mat). The paint job, not show quality, still shines nicely. The convertible top is an older vinyl one that is still weather tight. I have always kept the top folded beneath the boot cover having only driven the car in good weather. The tires are in very good condition, showing little tread wear. Included in the sale are two original ignition keys, an original owner's manual, a service manual, the original distributor and cap, the original coil, new metal side emblems and a new reproduction chrome side view mirror with Alfa Romeo logo (from International Auto Parts). The Alfa will need rocker panel work in time (a previous owner had some correction done but not to a high standard). Repair panels were fabricated rather than using factory replacements. These things are taken into consideration by offering the car at a rather low and NO RESERVE starting bid (I have two and a half times that amount invested). The Alfa starts up, runs, drives and stops extremely well. Clutch activity and shifting is very good (second gear is no problem after brief gearbox warm-up). The car is garage kept and covered when it is not in use (see picture) and cover is included with sale.

Remember this is a forty year old driver quality car and it is being offered at NO RESERVE and without warranty written or implied. One opening bid of $3900.00 will win this car so, bid only to win. Transport is the sole responsibility of the auction winner, but seller will cooperate with arrangements. Payment must be made in full via domestic U.S.A. bank check and payment must be received within seven business days after end of the auction. The car will not be released for transport until funds have cleared my bank (Bank of America). Happy bidding!

Editors' Picks June 2023: BMW 3 Series and more luxury sport sedans

Fri, Jul 7 2023

This month sees a number of luxury sport sedans gain Editors' Pick status thanks to updated or recently-all-new models coming out. The BMW 3 Series is a longtime favorite, and so is the Alfa Romeo Giulia at this point. Just like the electric version of the G80, though, the gasoline version is also an Editors' Pick this month. In case you missed our previous Editors' Picks posts, here’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get an EditorsÂ’ Pick designation. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in May that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2023 BMW 3 Series 2023 BMW 3 Series View 15 Photos Quick take: The 3 Series may not be the standard anymore, but it's still a superb luxury sport sedan with powerful engines, great handling, impressive tech and tons of space. Score: 7.5 What it competes with: Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Audi A4, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Cadillac CT4, Acura TLX, Lexus IS, Infiniti Q50, Genesis G70, Volvo S60 Pros: Enjoyable and powerful engines; fun handling; lots of space in rear seat and cargo area; attractive design inside and out Cons: Infotainment is frustrating to use sometimes; value isn't the best From the editors: Road Test Editor Zac Palmer — "The 3 Series ticks all the boxes that a top-shelf luxury sport sedan should. It's attractive but not gaudy. The driving dynamics leave me grinning at the end of a fun road, but don't beat me up on the highway. Any and all modern tech is present and accounted for. And while the price is high, it's not so bad for what you get. I'm an especially big fan of the M340i with its inline-six, but the four-cylinder in the 330i is an excellent option if you don't want to spend as much." In-depth analysis: 2023 BMW 3 Series gets fresh styling and infotainment   2023 Genesis G80 2022 Genesis G80 Sport Prestige View 61 Photos Quick take: The G80 has looks to kill, and it backs that design up with a functional and also-gorgeous interior. There's a lot of value to be had with this nice-to-drive luxury sedan.

We're not getting the Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce, and that's fine

Wed, Sep 21 2016

Alfa Romeo revealed today that a special edition of the Giulia sports sedan called "Veloce" will make its debut in Paris. It's only slated for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, but before you start lamenting that the US will once again miss out on a cool Euro-spec sedan, we have some good news: it's nothing special. The Giulia Veloce is just a normal Giulia with an appearance package and a fancy name. It comes with either the 280-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder gas engine, which we will get in 276-hosepower trim, or the 210-horsepower diesel four-cylinder. From there, Alfa throws in options like Q4 all-wheel drive, 19-inch 5-hole wheels, a tweaked front bumper, sport seats and steering wheel, rear diffuser and black window trim. That's it. Well that, and one of the Veloces at the show will sport a new color of blue, but it's not clear if that's a package-exclusive color or just another option. Many of these components will be available in the US, including the all-wheel drive, wheels, and, based on the American Alfa website, probably the black window trim. It's just that they won't all come in one package. And even if a few pieces of vehicle flair don't make it here, we're still not going to lose sleep over an appearance package. If you really need to be upset about something, perhaps consider the fact that we probably won't see Giulias on dealer lots until early next year. And that's just our best guess since we don't have an official launch date yet. Now that's something worthy of some frustration. Related Video:

FCA is setting a five-year strategy: Here's how the last one played out

Thu, May 31 2018

We're slightly more than four years removed from Sergio Marchionne last five-year plan for FCA, a tell-all where the Italian-American automaker divulged its plans for the 2014 through 2018 model years. It was a grand affair, where Sergio told FCA investors that all was right in Auburn Hills, Alfa Romeo and Maserati were making comebacks, and the fifth-gen Dodge Viper received a mid-cycle refresh. You can read every last one of those past predictions right here. We're on our way to Europe to see Sergio's sequel, coming out Friday straight from FCA's Italian headquarters. (Bloomberg reports a plan to expand Jeep and Ram globally, combine Alfa Romeo and Maserati into a single division for an eventual spinoff, and downsizing Fiat and Chrysler. Also, EVs.) But before we arrive in Italy and find out exactly what Marchionne has planned for 2019 through 2023 as his last act as CEO, let's take a minute to tally up the results of his last term based on the same scoresheet we used in 2014. Now, we're only five months into 2018, so much of this — including vehicles like the Ram HD and Jeep Grand Wagoneer — could still debut this year. For those, we'll mark things TBD. We're not going to draw any conclusions or make any objectionable remarks. We're simply going to let the stats speak for themselves.
