WTB SPIDER

[Mark Fletcher]

My daughter wants a red soft top... she had a red Mk1 Golf Cabriolet... is a Spider a realistic alternative for $9000? or just buying trouble?

I would appreciate you wisdom as I do not know much about the Alfas of this period.

Seems 9-10k will buy a reasonable 98 model?

Your advice would be appreciated.

Hi mark
this thread may give you a bit of advise, all be it on a 156, i cannot comment myself as i dont own a modern alfa.

That price is at the bottom end of the scale.  May need a full service & belt change, tyre

Make sure you  get a pre purchase inspection done at a dealer or Alfa specialist.  The  $100 ( or what ever) is essentially for peace of mind. 

Probably better to spend a bit more and get one that has books, up to date servicing etc, .

Check out both price options and compare - perhaps you may decide to buy a car and get work done yourself.

End of the day you get the best car you can afford.

Cheers
