Selling a 1991 Alfa Romeo 164L with 239000 miles. I'm a mechanic and I have cared for this car for a long time (including tuning it and changing engine & transmission oil frequently). In fact, the engine oil pressure is the same as when the car was new despite the mileage. The engine runs smooth on all 6 cylinders (good compression) and transmission shifts good in all gears. The battery is brand new (paid $150). The car has recently been rear-ended and that put a dent in the back bumper and a crease in the left rear fender ; however, the car drives fine (I drive it to and from work 64 miles every day). I'm hoping to sell it to someone that is either willing to fix the rear end damage and other defects or use its parts to keep another 164 in top shape or take it apart and sell its parts. The parts for these cars are becoming hard to find and are worth many times more than the worth of the whole car. I'll be glad to answer any question you may have about this car. I just reduced the asking price because I need to part with this car.
Here is a list of the good components/features of the car: Recently replaced water pump and timing belt, engine doesn't burn oil (passed NJ inspection recently), new battery, V rated tires still in good conditions (another 10 to 20 thousand miles), well balanced rims and tires.
Here is a list of the defects that do not affect driving the car, but buyer may want to fix: Warning lights come on in dash due to grounding problem (such as oil pressure, ABS, temperature), airbag light comes on and needs to be reset, heat in car is operated via cable opening and closing manual valve, engine and transmission seals lose some oil, the breather hose on top of the gas tank is cracked and needs to be replaced, front brake rotors although they brake fine, they pulsate; they need to be turned or replaced along with front pads, frame for courtesy lights dome in car fell apart (I do have all parts), antenna is stuck up, AC doesn't work, the oxygen sensor needs to be replaced (causes the checkengine light to come on sometimes).

Alfa Romeo considering Ferrari-developed engines for new product lineup
Sun, 06 Apr 2014A report in Bloomberg adds more details to the plans for Alfa Romeo's fourth turnaround plan in Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne's tenure, and this time Ferrari is apparently going to be part of the show. In December Automotive News Europe reported that a new Maserati-derived rear-drive architecture would be the centerpiece at Alfa Romeo, as well as coming Chrysler and Dodge products. At the time, ANE said the platform would support a new midsize sedan and wagon perhaps to be called Giulia, a fullsize sedan and a midsize crossover, with retail appearance of the product initiative commencing perhaps as soon as next year. It would be part of Fiat's $12.3-billion spend on new models and European recovery.
The Bloomberg report says that particulars haven't been finalized, but the plan is to have six new Alfas appear over the next five years, two of which would be SUVs. The futures of the Mito and Giulietta, two of the three cars Alfa currently sells and 99 percent of sales last year, aren't assured, meaning that the lineup in six years could be seven cars (including the 4C), six of which we haven't any definitive clue of yet. The top-tier versions of those cars, according to the report - perhaps the Quadrifoglio Verde - "will be equipped with motors developed by Ferrari."
Marchionne wants to get sales up to 300,000 units per year when the lineup is complete, pairing Alfa sales with Jeep's global dealer network to open up the retail channel. That kind of volume would get Fiat's Italian plants back in business properly, even though Marchionne's stance on Italy-only Alfa production would mean the end of the anticipated roadster that was to be twinned with the coming Mazda MX-5 Miata. Alfa's direction will be laid out in Detroit in May as part of the overall strategy presentation for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV.
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.
Next Mazda MX-5 Miata headed for 2015 Chicago debut
Fri, 17 Jan 2014Twenty-six years after it was introduced at the 1989 Chicago Auto Show, the much anticipated fourth generation Mazda MX-5 Miata will meet the press at the 2015 Chicago show. A piece in Autocar refines some of the details on the larger, lighter Miata that a Mazda insider has said will be "our best-looking car ever."
The company has relented on the quest for the metric tonne, the 1000-kilogram (2,200-pound) target too difficult to achieve in light of cost constraints. You can still expect it to lose a generous dollop of weight - Autocar says a curb weight of 1,100 kg (2,420 pounds) will still make it the lightest in its class. And Mazda will be stressing a fun driving experience through light weight and a modest amount of naturally-aspirated horsepower. Engine capacities of 1.5 and 2.0 liters are expected. Sounds familiar (and good), right?
The Miata's interpretation of Kodo design will be veer from that found on the Mazda3 and Mazda6, with "very clean and simple" lines marking out "more muscular proportions" and elongated bodywork on a longer wheelbase. A stretched engine bay will make room for the current Skyactiv engine and perhaps the future Skyactiv 2 powerplants, initial reports suggesting there could be a 30-percent increase in fuel economy from the moment it arrives.
