88 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce No Reserve on 2040-cars
Naples, Florida, United States
|
I bought this car a little over 2 years ago with 114,000 miles and it has been my daily driver since and now shows 140,000 miles. A couple of weeks ago in my infinite wisdom I added a can of fuel injector cleaner to the fuel system and now the car has an intermittent miss. I'll be running along smoothly and out of nowhere it will miss, sometimes it will clear and everything will be fine, and sometimes it will give me fits until it clears up. My problem is that I no longer have a garage, or a place to properly attend to the car. I believe the problem is fuel supply ( I changed the fuel filter, didn't help), and thinking that some particles from the fuel line has partially pluged an injector, or carbon is trying to clean out the valves and the pistons and this is causing the miss. The only other possibilities I can think of is that I put an aftermarket catalytic converter on last year and its starting to clog, or perhaps I have a vacumn leak (original vacumn hoses). In any case I can't afford to have a shop look at the car, and I don't trust and shop that doesn't know their way around Alfas. So if you're out there and still interested at the starting bid, here are some more details about the car.
The body is in very good shape except for some bondo work around the rockers. I painted the car myself last year (first time) and its OK, but could use a repaint if you're a perfectionest. The leather interior is good with two small holes forming in the drivers seat from daily use. Typical two cracks on the dash alonf the vents.. The speedodometer does not read true, and neither does the volt guage (although the alternator is puting out 13 1/2 volts when checked at the batter). The air conditioner is original and needs to be upgraded, power mirrors do not function. New Falcon 195/65 tires last year, new top this year. One of the trunk spring retainers is bent, so I use a brace to keep the trunk open. In general the interior is in good shape considering its daily use. The car is complete,by that I mean no missing parts and all else is working fine. I'm still driving the car, and by the time the car is sold the problem may be solved. Regardless, I'm still selling as I can't give the car the attention it needs. Note: I have car for sale locally and reserve the right to end auction early. |

2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio is the priciest Alfa you can buy
Thu, Feb 15 2018Alfa Romeo has finally announced pricing for its Stelvio Quadrifoglio high-performance crossover, and it's not cheap. The base price is $81,590, which makes it the most expensive car in the Alfa lineup. The next most expensive is the Giulia Quadrifoglio at $75,295. That's a difference of roughly $6,000. And you can make the Stelvio even more expensive by optioning in Sparco carbon fiber shell racing seats or carbon ceramic brakes. Alfa hasn't revealed pricing for those, but expect the brakes to cost the same $8,000 that they do on the Giulia Quadrifoglio. You do get a lot of car for the money, though. The Stelvio Quadrifoglio gets the same twin-turbocharged, Ferrari-built V6 as its Giulia counterpart, still making 505 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque. That will take the car to 60 mph from a standstill in 3.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 177 mph. The Stelvio Quadrifoglio is also the current SUV lap time record holder at the Nurburgring. If the price seems acceptable to you, you'll be able to pick one up early this year.

Best sport sedans for 2022 and 2023
Thu, Nov 11 2021SUVs dominate the car industry at every size and price level, but some people still prefer the looks, and more importantly, the performance and comfort, of the traditional sedan. With a lower ride height, lighter weight and generally smaller size, they often are much more fun to drive, and can even be more comfortable. Sport sedans of course lean harder on the performance side of things, and are among the best options for sheer speed and fun, thanks to those inherent characteristics. We've rounded up the ones in the segment that do the sporty dance better than any others in 2024 to give you a handy guide when you're shopping for one of your own. You'll find a wide array of cars here including gas, electric and hybrid powertrains. They'll have manual and automatic transmissions and drive the front, rear or all four wheels. Technically a few hatchbacks have slipped in, but they're close enough in look and feel that we wanted to include them. And excluding them means you might miss out on some of the best-driving options available. You wouldn't want that, would you? Alfa Romeo Giulia Why it stands out: Punchy four-cylinder; astounding power from Quadrifoglio; light and nimble character; awesome shift paddlesCould be better: Clunky infotainment; sub-par switchgear Read our Alfa Romeo Giulia review We start this list with one of the most predictable inclusions: the Alfa Romeo Giulia. Yes, it's a stereotype that the Italian sport sedan is fun to drive, but the fact is, well, it is. The Giulia comes standard with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 280 horsepower, making it one of the most powerful four-cylinders in the segment. It's paired with a snappy and smooth eight-speed transmission and either rear-wheel or all-wheel drive. The engine is lively and torquey, if a little short of revs, and the chassis feels super-light. The steering is eager and the car jumps into corners. We also highly recommend getting a version with the enormous and superb aluminum paddle shifters that make clicking through gears much more entertaining. And on the topic of the interior, it's attractive, but the various switches and knobs feels a little cheap, and the infotainment system is clunky. Of course there's also the incredible Giulia Quadrifoglio at the high end. It gets a Ferrari-derived twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6 making 505 hp, and it's rear-wheel drive only.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles: The next five years
Tue, 06 May 2014Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 24 hours, you've no doubt read about all of the big future product news coming out of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles today. We had individual brand reports from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Maserati and even Ferrari, but in the interest of simplifying and summarizing, we're going to list out the hard facts once more. Of course, with all of this still off in the future, there's still the possibility that a few changes will be made. But as of what we know right now, here's what's coming, and what's going away.
