1987 Alfa Romeo Spider VIN: 2arba5648h1dy5941 (CarFax available upon request) This Alfa has spent all of it’s life in California since brand new. The body is in good shape other than a few minor dings, however nothing major. The paint looks like it’s original and is shining in great shape. I am the the second owner and since I have owned the car I have made many improvements such as a new clutch which is still in brand new condition, major engine services have recently been done as well. The engine runs very strong and significantly better than other Alfa’s I have tried out. The wheels have been upgraded as well. The top is of canvas material and in great shape with a clear rear window. (as seen in pictures) Also included is a factory recommended roll-bar for safety. Interior is very clean and in great shape. I upgraded the previous radio to a new one that needs to be connected and has a CD player. Most Alfa’s throughout their lifetime have a dis-functional odometer which is why you see so many with unrealistic low mileage, even though these cars usually for occasional driving pleasure. The mileage on this vehicle reads the actual mileage and has never stopped working. I tried to the best of my ability and knowledge to describe the car and personally approved any repairs and necessary upgrades suggested by my mechanic. All parts on this vehicle are original, meaning they are Alfa Romeo factory parts. The condition of this sale is on an as-is basis, so please see all pictures carefully and ask me any or all questions you may have before engaging in bidding. This car is a part of my classic collection which I intend to reduce due to relocation to a smaller property. Please be noted that the previous two vehicles I sold were driven across the country both earning me excellent compliments upon arrival. Thank you and good luck! |

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.
Mazda engineers urging execs for more RWD models
Wed, 02 Oct 2013According to Edmunds, Mazda engineers are pressuring the company to create more rear-wheel-drive models, in an effort to better differentiate itself from its rivals. This push is reportedly coming from middle and senior engineers within the company, and these folks at Mazda believe this rear-drive strategy would allow the automaker to produce more distinctive, fun to drive cars. Mazda discontinued the rear-drive (and rotary-engined) RX-8 a few years ago, leaving the MX-5 Miata as the company's only RWD offering.
As enthusiasts, we're fully on board with Mazda offering more rear-drive cars, but unsurprisingly, the company's top management isn't exactly keen on the idea - and with good reason. First and foremost, the cost associated with redesigning fresh architecture for new models would be very high, and considering the fact that Mazda hasn't exactly been raking in the dough lately, an expensive new venture like this doesn't make a whole lot of sense. What's more, Mazda's latest front-drive models - the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5 - have been very well-received, and are helping the company gain sales momentum.
But that doesn't mean there aren't other options. Edmunds reminds us that Mazda is already partnering with Alfa Romeo on the next-generation Miata, and if this collaboration is successful, perhaps the relationship could bear additional fruit. After all, Alfa Romeo is said to be working on returning to its rear-wheel-drive roots, so Mazda's engineers might be able to make a case for more RWD goodness after all.
Just 45% of Fiat dealers are profitable, and they're angry about it
Mon, 07 Oct 2013<
On average, Fiat dealers have only been selling about 17 cars a month.
We've been wondering for some time how Fiat dealers in North America have been getting along with just one model range in their showrooms up until recently. Franchisees spent millions building, stocking and manning sleek new 'studio' showrooms, only to have but a single model to sell, the cherubic 500. And even with its many derivatives, the Cinquecento is still an inexpensive model with its attendant lower margins. Perhaps it should come as no surprise then, that just 45 percent of US Fiat dealers are said to be profitable.
