I am not talking about junk heaps but drivable vehicles. I mean engines and transmissions that have been rebuilt properly. body without significant corrosion, acceptable paint needing repainting, and chrome needing re-chroming.
Look for sellers who are either getting divorced, those who have lost their jobs or incomes, realitors, etc. Don't be too anxious. There are more than 20 of these coming up for sale every year. There appears to be a buyer for every seller at every price point. Don't be afraid to offer below the listed price.

I think you get what you pay for, mostly. A Giulia Normale just sold for 33.1k on Ebay. Welcome to the real world. I looked at the car, it was nice, but just a driver, with typical rust bubbles here and there, needing minor body work on nose and drivers front fender, lots of oil underneath. Good driver, good history and a great enthusiast owner. The market has spoken, and old Alfas are moving up fast.
