Alpha Romeo Spider

[chocolatelab]

Hi Guys


A buddy of mine has this car for sale. Figured I'd share incase someone was interested in a new toy.

1200 miles
2015 4C
Spider Launch Edition

65k

His name is Mark, 714-448-2252

Only 1200 miles, he must not have liked it much.

To me, it looks a lot like a Lotus.

There's a Classified section you know ?
At least this one seems to have decent panel gaps... You couldn't open the trunk by sliding your fingers in the gaps.. PS: It's AlFa with an F, for when you move it to classifieds ;-) But carry on, I got a good deal on my GTV because the craigslist poster spelled it Alpha and nobody found the ad !

I was looking at cars for sale and the porsche cars for sale is porsche only

Ill look for another classified section.

Geez.... Alpha Alfa whoops

Lighten up, Francis

I'd be really interested, but isn't that more than the new MSRP price in 2015? The base 2016 starts at $67k announced MSRP before discounts and options. KBB fair market price is about $63,000 for a new 2016. It's very nice, but I'd think it has depreciated a lot more than that, low miles notwithstanding.

But, and Car/Driver pointed out, it is the $60,000 Ferrari

You obviously don't understand that the ALPHA Romeo is a higher potency car for alpha dogs. They cost a little more but are worth it.

And it drives like one. I drove one in Hong Kong a while back. One word... GREAT drivers car!

Everything is Flimsy and light so at some point it will all apart like any other Alfa but at least you'll have some fun before that happens!

The colour of this one doesn't do it justice. IRL they are beautiful.

I was pretty impressed with the 4C as a lightweight sports car, until they introduced the new Miata and it was even lighter. How can Mazda make a two seat sports car at 2,330 lbs for $25k, while Alfa uses composites and ends up at 2,465 for $55k? Plus I've read a ton of reviews that mention how the Alfa feels flimsy, yet the Mazda doesn't.

I think the Alfa probably rattles more but the chassis must be way stiffer than a Miata and the g forces it is designed for are going to be higher than the Miata.

If not on these classified, try alfabb !! (and definitely spell it right there, if you think I'm being pedantic on a porsche forum, try "Alpha" there ;-)

I'm not joking either, I found my car at a good deal because most people's craigslist search did not ping on alpha ! ;-)
