UP FOR SALE IS THIS RARE RUST FREE ALFA ROMERO SPIDER QUADROFOGLIO EDITION. THE QUADROFOGLIO IS THE SPIDERS TOP LEVEL TRIM AND RARELY FOUND FOR SALE. QUADROFOGLIO MEANS FOUR LEAF CLOVER AND IS REPRESENTED BY THE CLOVER SHOWN ON THE EMBLEM.
OVER $6,400 RECENTLY SPENT IN MECHANICAL UPDATES INCLUDING A $900 SOUND SYSTEM WITH AN ALPINE RADIO INCLUDING CD AND BLUETOOTH AND FOCAL SPEAKERS.ICE COLD AIR CONDITIONING AND EFFECTIVE HEAT.NEW TIRES, MUFFLER, CATALYTIC CONVERTER AN 02 SENSOR. THE TOP NEEDS REPLACING DUE TO THE CRACKED AND CLOUDY REAR PLASTIC WINDOW. BUT A NEW BOXED GERMAN TOP GOES WITH THE SPIDER. (I AM A STRICTLY TOP DOWN PERSON SO I HAVE YET TO HAVE IT INSTALLED)ALL IN ALL IT'S A SUPER NICE DRIVER WITH SMOOTH SHIFTING IN ALL GEARS.
BUT, IT'S NOISY, UNCOMFORTABLE, ROUGH RIDING AND HAS NO FUNCTIONAL OUTSIDE REAR MIRROR ELECTRONIC ADJUSTMENT, NO BACK-UP CAMERA, NO BLIND SPOT MONITORING, NO BEEPS FOR NOT FASTING THE SEAT BELTS, NO CRUISE CONTROL, NO AUTO START STOP. NO POWER STEERING, BUT, TALK ABOUT TOP DOWN DRIVING FUN---IT'S ALL THERE. BE PREPARED TO MAKE NEW FRIENDS WHEREVER YOU PARK.
I AM SPARCE WITH SUPERLATIVES AS EVERYONES STANDARDS VARY SO CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS AND ASK ANY QUESTIONS.I JUST PURCHASED A PORSCHE TURBO CABROLET AND THE ALFA IS TAKING UP GARAGE SPACE I NEED FOR THE PORSCHE OTHERWISE IT WOULD BE A KEEPER.
PRICES FOR THESE ALFA'S ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE. I SEE WHAT APPEARS TO BE SMILAR ALFA SPIDERS FOR SALE AROUND $10,000 TO $12,000 BUT SEE ONLY ONE QUADROFOGLIO AND IT HAS A PRICE OF $14,000. I HAVE PRICED MY SPIDER WITH A LOW BEGINNING BID AND NO RESERVE FOR A QUICK AND EASY SELL AND ALSO HAVE A BUYER THAT IS PLEASED WITH THE PURCHASE. THE "BUY IT NOW" IS ALSO VERY REASONABLY PRICED. DO KEEP IN MIND THAT WITH THIS OR ANY OTHER ALFA SPIDER YOU ARE LOOKING AT A 30 SOME ODD YEAR OLD ITALIAN IMPORTED SPORTS CAR. FUN TO DRIVE, FANTASTIC TO JUST HAVE IN THE GARAGE AND ADMIRE, AND GREAT TO TAKE TO ALFA CLUB EVENTS BUT THEY ALL HAVE THEIR INHERENT VINTAGE SHORTCOMINGS.
I PURCHASED THIS SPIDER FROM THE OWNER IN LONG BEACH WHO BOUGHT IT FOR HIS WIFE AND HAD IT GONE THROUGH BY THE LOCAL ALFA MECHANIC WHO DID THE UPDATES, PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE AND WHATEVER WAS NEEDED TO MAKE IT A RELIABLE AND SAFE DRIVER. THE WIFE LIKED IT BUT WANTED A NEW ALFA SO THIS ONE CAME UP FOR SALE. I DROVE IT TOP DOWN FROM LONG BEACH TO MY HOME IN MONTEREY BAY AND ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE AND WOULD NOT HESITATE TO DRIVE IT TO NEW YORK AND BACK. IT'S A CAR TO BE DRIVEN AND ENJOYED.
I REQUIRE A $500 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT VIA PAYPAL IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS AND THE BALANCE DUE WITHIN 5 WORKING DAYS VIA BANK TRANSFER, DIRECT DEPOSIT, CASHIERS CHECK OR CASH IN PERSON. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR ANY QUESTIONS OR TO SCHEDULE A PERSONAL INSPECTION AND YOU ARE WELCOME AND ENCOURAGED TO DO.
LOCAL PICKUP IS MUCH PREFERRED BUT IF YOU WANT TO ARRANGE FOR SHIPPING VIA TRANSPORT I WILL ASSIST ON THIS END IF THE TRANSPORTER PICKS UP AT OR NEAR MY RESIDENCE. BUT, WHY NOT FLY INTO THE SAN JOSE AIRPORT GET A UBER RIDE OVER TO APTOS, PICK UP THE SPIDER AND TOUR MONTEREY, CARMEL, PACIFIC GROVE, THE SEVENTEEN MILE DRIVE AND FINISH WITH A RIDE ON THE MERRY GO ROUND ON THE BOARDWALK IN SANTA CRUZ BEFORE HEADING HOME.
THIS IS A SWEET DRIVING SPIDER AND TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE IS WITHOUT ANY ISSUES AND READY TO BE DRIVEN ANYWHERE. HOWEVER, IT IS BEING SOLD AS IS WHERE IS WITH NO WARRANTIES EXPRESS OR IMPLIED AND NO RETURNS. SO, AS PREVIOUSLY STATED, CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS AND ASK ANY QUESTIONS.
