1991 164S - 84K miles

As I have been driving it very, very seldom, I have decided to sell my 164S in order to pay off some loans. As stated in the title, it is a 1991 with only 84k miles on it (84,557 to be exact). It runs/drives well. The paint is in good condition, with minor chips on the hood and some cracks on the spoiler. Has new clutch, top end rebuild, and a lot of other new parts (see below). A/C blows cold air.

I originally purchased the car from 164 FAMILY on the bulletin board in October 2006. Within the first month, I had changed the slave and master clutch cylinders, along with all the hoses involved. I replaced the radiator, water pump, thermostat, t-belt, and all accessory belts. Sadly, once finished, I found out one of the head gaskets had been leaking oil into the valley of the block. So, four months ago, the car got a top end rebuild. The following were completed by Natale's Auto Repair in Campbell, CA:

-both heads rebuilt
-new head gaskets
-crankshaft seal replaced
-rear main seal replaced
-upper engine mount bushings (dog bone, both ends) replaced
-front and rear engine mounts replaced
-shifter bushing replaced
-timing belt and all accessory belts replaced
-new clutch

The above was all completed on 2/18/08.

After those repairs were completed, I noticed a stumbling idle issue and had replaced the following parts myself:
-distributor rotor
-distributor cap
-spark plug wires
-ignition coil
-idle control valve
-throttle position sensor
-oxygen sensor
-coolant temperature sensor

The car idles well now.

I am also in the process of replacing the front control arms, anti-sway bar bushings, and ball-joints. I completed the passenger side today. Driver's side will be done tomorrow.

The car currently has an after-market exhaust (magnaflow, I think), with a straight pipe instead of a resonator. So, yes, it's a bit loud. I do have a stock cat, and brand new resonator and muffler that I would throw in with the car. With that said, I have quite a few spare parts that would go with the car for anyone who's interested. Would also throw in a Blaupunkt Monterey MP27 stereo.

Asking $4500.

I have all receipts available for parts and work done on the car while it has been in my possession.

Car is located in Los Gatos, CA. I should also mention that it passed the SMOG test today. The pics were also taken today, after a quick wash.

Please send PM with any questions you have.

All,

Sorry, I have been out of the country for over a month, and have not been tracking this thread at all.

I have actually decided to keep the Alfa, as I am lending my xterra to a friend, indefinitely. The Alfa will now be my daily driver.

Again, my apologies for late replies.

-Dimitriy

That was way too much car for the money. The mileage and all the work done merited a higher asking price... I'm glad to hear that you are keeping her.

Best regards,
