1987 Alfa Milano - $700

not mine...

The car quit running while being drove down the interstate. I know these 3 things are wrong... relay to fuel pump valve cover gaskets passenger side window busted out Other than that, it's a neat little car!

Those are fun cars, and parts arent too hard to find, but remember two things. 1. the value of those is based about 90% on whether it has a 3.0 (that one is a 2.5), 9% on condition, and 1% on mechanical condition. In other words, that car is worth less than almost any other car in the same condition. The second thing, that car will need $500+ in work to even drive it ($100 fuel lines, $200 timing belt change, $100 valve cover gaskets, $100 relay). If neither of those things bother you, and you want a car that drives like a miata but isnt useless for more than one under 6 foot tall person, then it would be well worth checking out.

I actually saw one of these this weekend, it was running, but the paint job looked like it was rattle-canned....either flat black or a REALLY bad semi-gloss black.

I have to believe that 3/4 the way through the design the people building this vehicle gave up and ran the car backwards into a wall.

Awesome machines, gruesome tail treatment.

Soooo true and soooo funny at the same time.

John Brown,

I have to agree, if ever a car looked like it was styled by different teams that were never allowed to see each others work, it's a Milano. And yeah, it sort of looks like the Pepperidge Farm cookie bag, when emptied and crumpled up.

I drove one daily for 4 years, it wasn't that hard to keep running, it was just amazing how much everything not involved in the engine running was worn out with only 88k miles when I got it.

VERSUS:

I think the milano is better looking actually.

^^^^ What he said..

Amen.

I actually like the GTV-6 better than both but I like the looks of the 164 better than the Milano.
