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 comfortableand 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 beautifulPininfarina-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. Therear 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 excellentand 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. Theinterior underside of theconvertible soft top has seen better days, however it functions asit 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 normalspeed, 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 normalspeed.
Summary:Being an S4 (1991-1994), this Spider not only comes equipped with many moderncreature 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 isthemost 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 itspredecessors both mechanically and cosmetically.
The Alfa Romeo Spider in general, butespecially the S4, has been steadily increasing in value over thepast 10+ years. Most classic car collectors and analysts agree that the S4 Spider is an excellent investment. Nice examplesregularly 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 thathave 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 isthe greatest convertible Italian sports carthat 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 constantmaintenance. They are very economical to own, and drives like a modern car while maintaining thatunexplainable feeling that comes from a classic Italian roadster. Lastly, it is designed by the legendary Pininfarina.
Qualifies for collector/classic auto insurance, furtherlowering its cost of ownership.
Disclaimer:Please understand that this is a 24 year old used car with 88,xxx miles, so please have realistic expectations. It is not brand-new, and not 100% perfect. Having said that, it is in incredible condition for its age and will not disappoint. This is an Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce you will truly be proud to own.
I have tried to describe the car as thoroughly and honestly as possible,however I still prefer any interested parties to come see the car in person. If this is not possible, Iwill do my best to answer any questions you may have and send you any additional photos you may need in order to help you make an informed decision.
