Novi, Michigan, United States

Up for auction at "No Reserve" is a 1989 Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio Spider. Vin # ZARBA5563K1064990.
Clear Car Fax. Clear "Michigan" Title 91,560 Original Miles. I will be adding more pictures within the next few days. Due to an unexpected opportunity I am having to offer my 1989 Quadrifoglio Spider up for auction at "No Reserve". The Quadrifoglio was part of an estate and I was told that the owner purchased it off the showroom floor of the local Alfa dealer in Kentucky in 1989 with 8000 miles on it. It was kept in the same family for the entire ownership as it was conveyed to me. The Alfa has seen little use over the years showing only 91,000 miles. Has not been used for at the last year if not longer. Will need some general maintenance work as noted in the description below. For those that are not familiar with the Quadrifoglio Model, it was the top of the line model offered at the time. The Quadrifoglio came with a color coded factory "hard top", special "recaro" style seats and a factory body kit as well as special 15 inch "phone dial wheels". This example is completely stock down to the original factory shift knob and radio. The body is in good original condition as shown in the pictures. The paint on the Alfa is weak and really would benefit from a repaint. The body shows previous paint work that does not match very well. There are also numerous chips, cracking in the paint and scratches that have occurred over the years, including a good sized scratch on the right front fender as shown in the pictures. These imperfections in the paint do not show up very well in the pictures, but upon closer inspection paint condition is quite evident. The body itself is very solid with excellent panel gaps on the doors, trunk lid and hood. The floor pan is in good condition with no evidence of rust or damage. Rust is limited to a small "bubble" at the lower portion of the driver's side front fender and also there is a soft spot in the spare tire well. Hard Top has small 1 inch crack. Lower valance below rear bumper has 2 cracks in each corner - not very noticeable but worth mentioning. Has small "outie" dent from battery. Nose panel is in nice condition with no damage. Trunk carpet in very nice condition. The interior is in excellent original condition showing very little wear. The dash is very nice with a few small cracks near the defroster, but not the typical large cracks. The factory leather seats are in good condition. Both door panels are in nice condition however the driver's side needs new mounting clips. The dash itself as well as the center console are all in very nice condition as shown in the pictures. The original "red" carpet is in very nice condition as is the rear jump seat area. Has original convertible top that could use replacing. The original factory radio and power antenna both work fine. The 2 Liter engine starts up easily and runs quietly with no strange noises. As best as I can tell there has not been any major work done to the engine and I suspect that the head has never been off. With many Alfa's, there is some indication that the headgasket will need to be replaced at some point since I can see some oil in the overflow bottle. The Alfa does not have any noticeable oil leaks underneath. Gearbox seems fine with typical weak second gear syncro. Clutch pedal feels a little soft and may need to be bled, but does not have any issues getting into gear. Lights, blinkers, wipers & heater motor work fine. All lenses in good condition with no cracks or damage. Has new center section of the exhaust. Known issues: Needs tires Paint is weak Convertible top is original Gas lid cable needs replacing - can be opened from the outside. Rust spot on lower front fender Spare tire well has soft spot Small star crack in the windshield AC not hooked up Passenger side window regulator not working Misc. maintenance The Alfa Spider is being sold in "as is" condition with no warranty expressed or implied. I cannot be held responsible for any errors or inaccuracies that may have been inadvertently been provided. Please have your finds in order prior to bidding. Shipping is up to the buyer to arrange. As stated, the Quad represents a wonderful opportunity for the Alfa enthusiast that is looking for a solid example at a low price. Comes with a clear Michigan title. Will need some general work/maintenance as noted in the description. The buyer should expect other normal wear and tear items to be addressed as would be expected of a 25 year old vintage sports car. Sold in "as is" condition with no warranty expressed or implied. I have done my best to describe the Alfa to the best of my ability, however there may be some things that I may have missed. It is up to the buyer to do due diligence when making a purchase online. Do not make any assumptions about anything. Ask any questions that may not have been addressed. I am not responsible for any errors or erroneous misinformation. I will be adding more pictures within the next few days. For the motivated buyer, I will consider ending the auction early for a serious offer. "NO RESERVE AUCTION" The fine print: If you have 5 or less feedback transactions, you must contact me prior to bidding. A non-refundable deposit of $500.00 is due within 24 hours of the auction end. If the deposit is not received, the Alfa will be offered to the next highest bidder. The balance is due within 7 days of the auction end date. The car must be picked up within 10 days of the auction end date. A $10.00 per day storage fee will be charged after the 10 days unless prior arrangements have been made. I have sold several vintage cars to overseas buyers with the buyers being extremely pleased with the sale. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me. I will do my best to answer any questions you may have. |

Fiat set to invest $12B on new models, stop Euro losses in 3 years
Mon, 09 Dec 2013Naturally, you'd expect a massive automaker like Fiat to have an in-depth plan to exit the current European-market doldrums, and you'd expect that plan to include plenty of new vehicles to attract those precious buyers that still remain despite the financial downturn. And you'd be right, though Fiat does seem to have a few unexpected twists up its corporate sleeve.
Perhaps the biggest shocker is a report that Fiat will completely drop the Punto, a car with mass-market appeal aimed at small-car buyers cross-shopping the popular Volkswagen Polo. Its replacement will be a five-door Fiat 500 aimed at upmarket buyers (sounds awfully similar to the 500L) that will be built in Poland. Lower-end customers will reportedly be served by variants of the Fiat Panda.
Borrowing a page from the BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen playbook, reports Automotive News, Fiat is said to have plans to reignite production at its Italian factories by retooling them to build high-end vehicles from Maserati and Alfa Romeo. These will be marketed as premium products, built by skilled Italian workers (who are paid wages that are 75-percent higher than those building Fiats in Poland), and will be sold around the world.
Chrysler earns $1.7B in 2012, revises product plans for US
Wed, 30 Jan 2013Hot on the heels of Ford's earnings announcement for the year that was, Chrysler today reported a 2012 net income of $1.7 billion, up substantially from the comparatively minuscule $183 million profit earned in 2011 when it repaid its US government loans.
Chrysler's good year ended with an excellent fourth quarter that saw net income rise 68 percent from $225 million in 2011 to $378 million. Where are all those extra earnings coming from? Market share, which Chrysler saw increase to 11.4% last year on sales of 1.65 million vehicles. In fact, the Auburn Hills, MI-based automaker out-paced the industry's market growth of 13 percent last year with sales up 21 percent for the year.
The company also revealed an updated product plan for its Chrysler Group and Fiat brands that looks all the way out to 2016. It's an updated version of the plan introduced in 2009 shortly after Fiat took control of the American automaker, and includes such new additions as an Alfa Romeo model, likely the 4C, to be introduced in the US this year, as well five more Alfa models by 2016. Likewise, Fiat will be growing by an additional seven models in the coming few years.
Share price falls on skepticism of Chrysler-Fiat five-year plan
Thu, 08 May 2014Following this week's Fiat Chrysler extravaganza, where the Italian-American manufacturer announced its plans for the next five years, the Autoblog staff was cautiously optimistic of the company's future. Investors? Not so much.
Fiat saw its shares tumble 12 percent in Wednesday's trading, falling from 8.67 euros ($12.06 at today's rates) to 7.44 euros ($10.35) as of this writing, with blame partly going to the Italian half of the FCA marriage, which recorded a pretty significant drop in profits during the first quarter of this year.
The plan, which will cost around $77 billion over the next several years, is facing criticism from investors thanks in part to a 1.4-percent drop in Fiat's first-quarter profits, to 622 million euros ($862 million). That figure is also short of Bloomberg analysts' projections, which predicted $1.18 billion in profits before taxes, interest and one-time items.
