Mechanics:

Starts, runs, and drives excellent with a steady idle and lots of power throughout the entire RPM range. The aluminum 2liter motor pulls hard with full compression in all 4 cylinders. Clutch is newer and feels great, as does the transmission which shifts smoothly throughout all 5 gears and into reverse. Suspension is nice and tight, while still comfortable -- handles incredibly. Fresh filters, fluids, pumps, and hoses. Cold A/C. All maintenance is up to date and the car needs nothing mechanically — just get in and enjoy. It is extremely reliable, and I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere.
Cosmetics:

This timeless Pininfarina-designed Italian Spider looks incredible. The deep black paint is extremely smooth and glossy, with very few imperfections to be expected of a car from this vintage. All chrome and glass is near perfect with no oxidizing or pitting. There is absolutely no rust anywhere. The convertible soft top is cosmetically excellent with no rips or tears whatsoever. The rear plastic window is near perfect as well. It goes up & down with ease and locks tightly, sealing the interior from the elements, while also keeping road noise to a minimum. The interior is very clean and tidy. The seats are excellent, having been completely reupholstered in black leather. The carpets, floor mats, center consoles, and door panels are all clean as well. The trunk is tidy as well with clean carpeting throughout. The door jambs, rocker panels, wheel wells, undercarriage, and engine bay all look great and are completely rust-free. There is one dent on the on the nose panel right next to the driver side headlight bucket (see photos).
Wheels/Tires:
Original Veloce phone-dial wheels are straight and true with no oxidizing or pitting of the original bare metal finish. Brand-new PIRELLI tires all around.
Electrics:

The ignition system operates as it should with no problems. All lights are bright and work as they should. There are no warning lights or check-engine lights on the dash. Driver side power window works excellent, but the passenger side is not working at the moment. Power mirrors also work as they should. Radio and speakers work great and the power antenna goes up & down flawlessly with no reception issues.
Summary:
-A great investment. Classic car analysts & appraisers predict that these beautiful Pininfarina-designed Italian Spiders are going to increase in value dramatically in the upcoming years.
-All Alfa Romeo Spiders are desirable, however the Series4 (1991-1994) version is by far the most desirable. Being the last of 4 generations, it has all of its quirks sorted and has modern creature comforts not found in earlier models. It is cosmetically & mechanically superior to its predecessors. This specific example is also a 'Veloce', which is the highest trim-level offered.
-Comparable examples are currently trading between $15, 000-$20, 000. I am looking for substantially less for mine.
-
Please understand that this is a 23 year old classic car, so please have realistic expectations — Having said that, it is in excellent condition for its age and has tons of charm and character.
-
I have tried to describe the car as thoroughly and honestly as possible.

Feel free to message me with any questions or concerns, I will try to reply ASAP.
