Year:1995 Mileage:179211
Location:

 

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.

Next-gen Mazda MX-5 Miata mule spied 'Ring testing

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

Fans of simple, lightweight motoring, rejoice - we now have images of the next-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata undergoing testing at der Nürburgring Nordschleife. Now, to be fair, this isn't some lightly camouflaged example that will give us a great peak of what the next Miata, which will also become the next Alfa Romeo Spider, will look like. This is a mule, with the new bits hidden under a current Miata's body. That doesn't mean there aren't a few scraps of valuable information here, though.
According to our flock of camera-toting spies at the Nürburgring, the next Miata is likely to grow a bit, as new models are wont to do. In particular, it will be longer and wider, and the wheelbase is likely going to be stretched, based on the shape of the wheel wells and doors. Both of those factors will add more space in the cabin.
Those are the big indications provided by these photos, but while the MX-5 might be growing, it's a safe bet based on these images that it, and the (likely pricier) Alfa, will retain the classic, long-hood, short-deck styling that so typifies rear-drive roadsters.

Leno samples Corvette Z06, steam cars, supercars and the wonders of Pebble Beach

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

While Jay Leno's Garage was conceived to highlight the wonders of The Big Chin's eponymous storage facility, Leno does occasionally get out an into the larger world. Pebble Beach and the festivities around Monterey recently provided a great excuse for a road trip, and Leno seemingly had a pretty full dance card.
In an episode aptly dubbed The Ultimate Car Week, our host takes us through a pretty representative selection of great things to see in and around Pebble. Starting with a ride-along in a steam car, Jay manages to check in on the latest McLaren supercar and drive the Alfa Romeo 4C along the way. Oh, and he takes a good look at the all-new Corvette Z06 (next to the original Z06) before hitting the Concourse d'Elegance, too.

Mazda and Fiat finalize deal for Alfa roadster, next-gen MX-5 Miata

Fri, 18 Jan 2013

Although a little bit later than expected, Mazda and Fiat have signed a final agreement that will bring a next-generation MX-5 Miata to the Japanese automaker and a new roadster to Alfa Romeo. When the proposed arrangement was announced back in May, the two automakers had hoped to seal the deal last year, but it doesn't appear that the production timeline for these cars has slipped any, with both expected to start rolling off assembly lines in 2015.
Other than a shared chassis with a rear-wheel-drive layout, it sounds like the two cars are still planned to be distinct in their own ways from their styling right down to their engines. Mazda will produce both cars at a plant in Hiroshima, Japan, but it isn't clear what role each automaker will play in the cars' developmental process. The big question, of course, is what clever portmanteau name we can come up with, like Toyobaru. Mazda Romeo is the easy choice, but Alfazda might roll off the tongue a little better.
