Here are the ads and pictures of "my" cars. Remember the black one is the one I am looking into.

Yes the car is beautiful. But the price is insane. A dealer should be asking @ $6500 US dollars for that car. Im not sure about the current exchange rate but if it equals $14000 CDN I know where I'm vacationing this year. Drinks are on me fellas. A good steak would cost me around 5 bucks.

Don't do anything hasty Neil. Research prices, reliability and average repair cost. Time is your friend when car dealers are involved. Check out some Alfa forums and ask those folks.

I still would rather have a 73 GTV 2000.

I will give up on these two cars until his price drops, a lot. I don't want to overpay for another car. It doesn't seem likley that I will find a good deal in N.S.. They are just too rare here I guess.

The GTV 2000 is a 2 door with the 2 liter engine. The Berlina is the 4 door. They are comparable to the BMW 2002 and older Volvos. I like the styling. Not as boxy as the BMW and Volvo. Plus I dont think I'll own another convertible. Just too much trouble. Body sagging and tops ripping and leaking. I've got kids now too. A 2 seater just isnt practical anymore. The little seats in back are perfect kid size.

I've seen them at the track but they are a bit pricey to bump doors with. I've seen more GT's on the track. GT = smaller motor and price tag. I just like the look and the sound of the 2 liter with sidedrafts and open exhast.

Heres a few links to some good examples:

I like those cars, how much for a "mint" car? I just love the Spiders looks. I don't mind driving "quirky" cars, as long as they run. As for body sag etc.... I have all of the cars I buy checked out and I buy the best one available.
Perhaps I should get this interested about my 924 again?

I don't know about Alfa's, but remember, Fiat stands for:

Fix
It
Again
