She looks nice. Thanks for sharing the photo, we newbies weren't around last time you posted her.

Hope you get yours sorted out, I too had many problems at one point, but for the last 4 years she has been as solid as a rock reliability wise.

I'm either going to become one hell of a 164 mechanic or go broke at the shop, it seems.

Yeah these cars are not good for the checkbook mechanic, I would advise to either learn how to work on them, or if yours is really draining you financially, find one that is sorted, which is not easy task. Either way, knowing the ins and outs of these cars is essential for ownership, and there are many on the BB that are willing to help you have a happy alfa 164 experience, best of luck,
Jon

This is a good lesson. The PO had all service records from all but the first year of the car's life. It really seemed like he had taken care of it. I think he took care of it until he came across a repair he just wasn't willing to pay for so he sold it. Crazy. My Milano was a tank, never a mechanical problem. Just the rust around the rear wheels. Thanks for your support.
