Up for sale is a black 1987 Alfa Romeo Spider with 105000 miles!

Exterior: The color of the car is black and paint condition is 7 out of 10. The car has a few scratches but the body is clean and I do not see any major accidents in the car. 

Interior: The car has a black interior (I am not sure if this is leather or vinyl) the passenger seat is good but the driver seat has some tears in the center piece as you can see in the picture. 
The dash has some cracks as you see in the photos. The carpet is in good shape but it does need a little cleaning. The convertible top is in a very good condition (it was replaced two years ago). 
All the glass, trim, and lights are in very good condition. In total the condition of the interior is 7 out of 10.

Mechanics: The car has a 4 cylinder fuel injection engine with a 5 speed manual transmission. The engine and transmission are in good condition. I drove around my warehouse for about 10 miles without problems. The car has an engine guard! The exhaust is good, there are no leaks anywhere. The suspension is also in good shape! In total the condition of the interior is 8 out of 10.

Electrical: From what I see, everything works well except the high beam light (It can be do to the bulb or the switch). All the gauges work except the odometer which the previous owner said has not been working for the past year. The car has been driven less then 2000 miles sense. The car also has a security system.  
The rims and tires are in fair shape. I would give the tires 70%.        

The problems: The A/C does not work ( when I hit the switch, the compressor runs. So I think it just needs Freon R-12). The door lock has some issues, it sometimes does not lock. The odometer is not working. The drover seat has some tears. One of the rims has a small curb rash (no bend).    

I am not an Alfa Romeo expert, this was a car that I got out of a tried and I don't know a lot about this car. But I have a very reasonable reserve compared to other ones that I have seen like this. In total the car is not in a perfect condition but with some attention it can be.

I am more experienced in BMWs and Mercedes. I do not have much knowledge in Italian cars.  

This car has low milage for this typical model. This car has always been taken care of.
This car is 26 years old and has been driven for around 5000 miles a year!!
I have a very reasonable reserve price!! If you like more pics please send me your email and ill send them to you! I would be happy to have anyone come and check out the car! The car is at my storage in manassas va! THE CAR IS ASIS!
Bid with confidence!! I am a 100% positive feedback Ebay member. You can check my seller feedback!

2020 Chevy Corvette Stingray vs the world: How it compares on paper

Mon, Jul 22 2019

The 2020 Chevy Corvette Stingray in its base form offers an astonishing amount of performance for the money. In fact, so impressive is the car's spec sheet that the Corvette kind of exists in two different competitive sets: one of cars priced similarly, and another with cars of similar performance and reputation. To get a feel for how it handles each of these segments, we've compiled specifications for those two sets of players. You can find the first set below, which looks at cars of roughly the same price point. Following that is a bit of analysis, and then there's a chart of cars with similar performance and reputation. And that chart will also have some analysis. Though final pricing for the Corvette hasn't been announced yet, we know the Corvette will start at less than $60,000. And as far as pricing goes, its closest competitor is the Porsche 718 Cayman, which also starts at just under $60,000. Both are mid-engined and rear-drive, but the Corvette offers an extra 195 horsepower and 190 pound-feet of torque. The Cayman does boast a curb weight of right around 3,000 pounds, so it weighs a few hundred pounds less than the Corvette, but it's likely not enough to make up for the power deficit. The Corvette's sub-3.0-second 0-60 time bears this out against the Cayman's best 4.5-second run. Impressively, though, the Cayman has more cargo space than the Corvette in a package that's nearly 10 inches shorter. The Cayman also still offers a manual option for those that prefer self-shifting. The 2020 Toyota Supra is on the cheap end of this sports car class, just crossing $50,000. It also boasts more power than the Cayman, though it's still down by 160 ponies and 105 pound-feet of torque to the C8. It's also about as roomy as the Corvette, despite being about the same size as the Cayman. Cargo space is a bit tighter. Its driving characteristics will likely differ, too as the Supra sits on a front-engine platform. It might even feel closer to a C7 Corvette in some ways. The other mid-engine entry in this price range is the 2019 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider. Its small 1.7-liter turbo inline-4 only makes 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, but it's also far and away the lightest of this group at 2,487 pounds. That's roughly 1,000 pounds lighter than the Corvette. It isn't as fast as the Corvette in a straight line, but that lightness surely pays dividends in cornering and braking.

Alfa's upcoming EV sports car poised as a 4C Spider successor — the 4E?

Wed, Sep 27 2023

Expanding its ambitious plans for its future electric cars, Alfa Romeo is working on an electric sports car — one that might be badged the 4E and live on as a successor to the 4C Spider — for introduction before the end of the decade "There are some items from Alfa Romeo that we don't kill: One is the Spider, the other is a love of cars. We do want to continue them because that's the brand,” Daniel Guzzafame, Head of Products at Alfa, said in an interview with Autocar. “The main point is to make sure that when we do it, we are credible, are sustainable, and don't just throw something on the market for the sake of it.” The ItaliansÂ’ prospective scenario would hinge on the success of its new multi-car/SUV lineup that includes the Tonale, introduced earlier this year; a baby SUV spotted online recently that could come next year, and upcoming electric versions of the Guilia sedan and Stelvio. A new Alfa Romeo will arrive each year for the next five years, Alfa executives say, to build up the “sustainable” inventory foundation to which Guzzafame referred. In past years, he said, “we went to the dealers, and they had the 4C, Giulietta, and Mito, and that was all they had. First, you need to have a solid lineup, and then, of course, the Spider has to be the cherry on the cake.” The sports car discussed by Guzzafame may borrow styling cues from the newly revealed 33 Stradale supercar, available with Alfa's first-ever electric drivetrain. The company may also look to mimic the dynamics of todayÂ’s mid-engined sports cars by locating its battery in the center of the chassis, a placement that would allow a traditional cab-forward shape.  Alfa Romeo has suggested that all of its ICE vehicles will go out of production by 2027. As far as a “noiseless” Alfa is concerned, Guzzafame explained the company may try to emulate the sounds and vibrations of a gasoline motor in the new car. “ItÂ’s not what you hear, itÂ’s what you feel,” he said. “WeÂ’re working on how to transfer that into a vibe, more than sound, and something that will resonate in your ear, because you need to get something from your gut.” As for the gorgeous mid-engined Stradale, the engine is a version of the twin-turbo V6 from the Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio models, and apparently some aspects of the active suspension are also taken from the Giulia Quadrifoglio GTA.

Listen to the 2019 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio's howling Ferrari V6

Fri, Oct 18 2019

There's a lot that makes the 2019 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio special, from its name to its handling. But arguably its biggest claim to fame is the twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6 under the hood that was derived from a Ferrari engine. It makes 505 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque, and all that grunt goes through an eight-speed automatic transmission on its way to the rear wheels. Being a Ferrari-related engine, it has a suitably impressive exhaust note. Pop it into "Dynamic" mode, and the exhaust opens up. It's plenty loud with higher revs, but quiets down on the highway, avoiding much drone. The note is unique, with a deeper tone than you might expect from the Prancing Horse brand. It also has rippling crackles that occur more naturally than some of its consistently popping competitors from Germany. Take a listen for yourself with the video above.
