Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"This cute little Italian sports car is perfect for those with a passion for driving. Those leaf strewn backroads of Fall will beckon you around every turn. I bought this car in June 2004 with 70,000 miles on it. Now 9 years later and only 3,000 more miles it is time to part. Twisting the key brings the Spider's all-aluminium twin-cam two-litre highly-spirited inline four to life. (Temple of VTEC worshippers may not wish to note that the Alfa Romeo Spider was the first production car to use variable valve timing back in 1980, beating Honda's V-Tec system by almost ten years.) The Alfa's Twin-Cam engine, produces 115 horsepower a bit past 5,000 rpm, and 120 lbs. ft. of torque just before 3,000 rpm. Unlike the Gregorian crescendo of most modern engines, the Alfa's four roars like a wounded beast, with just enough thrash to let you know its mechanical heart is beating with the explosive deaths of millions of hydrocarbons."

I have had many performance upgrades installed by European Auto Specialsits in Cincinnati (repairs & performance upgrades alone over $8500) including:

Performance headers and performance muffler (entire exhaust system from headers to tailpipe replaced including new catalytic converter). Performance Bilstein shocks and performance springs, larger performance rear sway bar. Cross-drilled rotors. All bushings replaced with polyurethane bushings.

Exhaustive maintenance & repairs:

Plugs & wires, cap & rotor, air filter, fuel filter, passenger window motor, wiper motor, heater motor, changed all fluids (coolant, clutch, brake, engine, transmission) including rear end limited slip additive, headlight switch. New driveshaft components: both U joints, center support, center bearing, flex disc. Alignment performed. Emergency brake cable replaced, all cooling hoses replaced. Door stops replaced. New ignition switch, replaced radio and replaced all 4 speakers and added 250W Alpine amp. 3-spoke wood steering wheel.

Total suspension rebuild:

Center mount bushing kit, shock bushing kit, shock bushing kit, trunion arm bushing kit, rear anti roll bar kit, training arm kit, diff trunion kit, spring set, performance swaybar, poly cater bushing, control arms, bushing inn lower arms, lower ball joints, tie rod ends, front & rear brake hoses, shocks.

Summary:

As the pictures note this car is in excellent mechanical condition after extensive maintenance and performance upgrades. Although not perfect, I have done the heavy lifting and you are well on your way toward an Italian weekend drop top backroad cruiser. Body work due to rust (see pictures) is required. Lastly, the heater motor which was replaced has since failed and needs to be replaced and the speedometer stopped functioning sometime this year but I only drove it for the first time a few weeks ago.

Marchionne offers belated apology for 'wop engine' comment

Wed, 22 May 2013

Automotive News reports Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has issued a written apology for his comments regarding his decision to stick with an Italian engine for the upcoming Alfa Romeo 4C. As you may recall, back in January, Marchionne was quoted as saying, "I cannot come up with a schlock product, I just won't. I won't put an American engine into that car. With all due respect to my American friends, it has to be a wop engine." The CEO penned an apology to the Italian American ONE VOICE Coalition for using the racial epithet, saying that he made the comment in jest. Marchionne also said he realizes his remarks were unacceptable.
ONE VOICE, an organization aimed at fighting discrimination and stereotyping of Italian Americans, thanked Marchionne, Chrysler and Fiat for the apology. Marchionne is an Italian-born Canadian citizen, and he's gotten in trouble for other comments in the past. In 2011, he called high interest rates Chrysler was paying to the Canadian government "shyster rates." He apologized a day later.

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.

CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over

Mon, 03 Sep 2012

After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.
