 Very Reliable, All Common Alfa Ailments Fixed. Alfa Romeo 1st Edition Quadrifoglio: 

This is one the nicest and cleanest Spider on the market today. Well Over $17,000 spent (I have the reciepts) on all the improvements and upgrades, and hundreds of hours of my time. Plus an additional $8,500 purchase price a few years back.

Most all work was performed by Auto Veloce a highly regarded and rated professional Alfa Specialist / Shop in Miami. I have receipts and pictures for most all of the improvements. The paint( Correct Alfa Silver) and interior were redone prior to me purchasing. I had the Center console, that always cracks, redone in Genuine Leather. This car drives, looks and still smells like new. The engine is smooth, runs strong, burns and leaks no oil. She Runs at temperature all day and is extremely comfortable and reliable. The car drives straight, does not pull, is tight and does not vibrate at high or low speeds. The tires are in good shape with little tread wear and the rims are in good condition. The car shifts beautifully and the infamous 2nd gear Synchro is good.

This car is a definite head turner! Also everything that needs to be accomplished to make an Alfa Spider a reliable and comfortable everyday driver has been done.  All the known flaws that are in inherent to late model spiders have been addressed and fixed.

This Quadrifoglio shows to have been adult owned and properly maintained. It spent most its life in VA. NC. and FLa. This car is stored indoors in my climate and humidity controlled one car garage at my Residence in Bal-Harbor, Florida. I will gladly show the Car live via skype to any serious buyer. I will also send a video of the undercarriage to any interested party. Prior to sale I encourage the owner to come with me and meet the mechanics that performed all the work. Im an Alfa Enthusiast however this was a hobby for me, therefore the mechanics can offer much more detail.

The car has about 47k on the odometer as cable was broken when I purchased this car about 2 years ago. The Engine runs perfectly.The paint job is a 6 out of 10 and the car has some minor / miniscule dings here and there but as its my daily driver im fine with that. To the untrained eye the car looks like new. The car fax shows no accidents but the left front fender did have some bodywork performed in the past. Prior to and then post purchase the car was closely and professionally evaluated and this car has no frame damage whatsoever. This Spider has a Florida State Title with no liens.

I inherited a 1978 Ferrari 308 and must now part with this Gem of an Alfa. My loss is your gain! $17,500 very firm. Note im taking a $8,000 loss not to mention countless hours of my time. Luckily I Dont need the money whatsoever, so please dont waste your time with low ball offers. You always get what you pay for. No other Alfa in the market today has had this kind of work done.

If you buy another one, sooner rather than later you will have to do all of the above and it will end up costing you a lot more than it did me. I intended on keeping this car till the end so i did everything that commonly goes wrong with these cars and more. Feel free to call me at (917) 684-6993 w/ any questions.

Compare to other Alfa's on the market, and this is the one you will want to own! Thanks for looking and good luck with your Alfa Quest. Remember luck is the crossroads when preparation meets opportunity.
