Mechanicals:

Starts, runs, and drives excellent with a steady idle and steady power throughout the entire RPM range. The all aluminum 2.0 motor pulls hard with full compression in all 4 cylinders. Clutch feels great, as does the transmission which shifts smoothly throughout all 5 gears and into reverse. Suspension is sporty and tight, yet comfortable and compliant. Up to date on service with fresh fluids, filters, hoses, pumps, and belts. The car is super reliable and needs nothing mechanically — just a new owner to love and enjoy it. The A/C does NOT work.
Exterior:

This beautiful Pininfarina-designed Italian roadster is timeless and still looks incredible. The body is straight and the deep black paint is smooth and glossy. There is some normal minor imperfections to be expected of a 24 year old used car. All chrome and glass is good with no oxidizing or pitting. The convertible soft top looks and functions great with no rips or tears whatsoever. The rear plastic window is great as well, with none of the common yellowing or fading. The top goes up & down with ease, locking tightly to seal the interior from noise and weather. The door jambs, rocker panels, wheel wells, undercarriage, and engine bay are all rust-free and clean. There are no major imperfections to note.
Interior:
Overall very clean and tidy. The seats are excellent and look brand-new, having been fully reupholstered. The door panels are nice and clean too, along with the carpets and floor mats. The dashboard, instrument cluster, and center console are all very nice with no cracking. Lastly, the trunk is very clean and looks to have been used sparingly. The interior underside of the convertible soft top has seen better days, however it functions as it should and is out of sight.

Wheels/Tires:
The original factory Veloce equipped phone-dial 15 wheels are straight and true. Brand-new
Pirelli
(all-season 195/60) tires all around with less than 50 miles.
Electrics:

All exterior & interior lights are bright and function as they should. There are no warning or check-engine lights on in the instrument cluster. The driver's power window moves up & down perfectly with normal speed, however the passenger side is currently not working properly. Both left & right power mirrors move in all directions as they should. Radio and speakers are good, and the power antenna goes up & down with normal speed.
Summary:
Being an
S4
(1991-1994), this Spider not only comes equipped with many modern creature comforts not found in the earlier models -- but it is also the best looking of all four generations. This particular example is also a Veloce, which was the highest trim level offered on the S4 Spider.
Surpassed only by the S1 (1966-1969), the S4 is the most desirable generation of the Alfa Romeo Spider -- and certainly the most valuable. I have personally owned multiple examples of all four generations, and the S4 is truthfully superior to its predecessors both mechanically and cosmetically.
The Alfa Romeo Spider in general, but especially the S4, has been steadily increasing in value over the past 10+ years. Most classic car collectors and analysts agree that the S4 Spider is an excellent investment. Nice examples regularly trade anywhere between $15, 000 to $25, 000. This car is ready-to-go, yet I am looking to sell it for substantially less. Be careful of those that have been neglected and need more money invested into them than they are worth. Don't take my word for it, do your own research.
In short, this is the greatest convertible Italian sports car that can be had in this price range. It is very reliable and user friendly -- and although parts are readily accessible, it is not a fragile and finicky car that needs constant maintenance. They are very economical to own, and drives like a modern car while maintaining that unexplainable feeling that comes from a classic Italian roadster. Lastly, it is designed by the legendary Pininfarina.
Qualifies for collector/classic auto insurance, further lowering its cost of ownership.
