Is anyone from the bb going to purchase this baby? If it was a 156 GTA i would get it, but the 166 isin't that bad of a car. http://www.alfaclassifieds.com/detail.php?siteid=2063

Just a reminder- before buying any non US market car, make sure all the paperwork is in order for both the EPA and DOT. Either one have the power to impound and crush cars.

Would be a fun one, though...

I would be really be careful about this car. Apparently those new AutoDelta 166, GTV and Spiders were turned out to be illegal imports and FBI is trying to track down the owners and take away the cars. (Yes AutoDelta is gone and both owners had their first trial few days ago) This car could be one of them. I don't think it's morally wrong to buy these cars. It's not like they are unsafe and danger to other motorists or they polute air. (Unlike those huge SUVs!!!)
But if you are involved in an accident you could be in a huge trouble.
