WTB Alfa Spider

[Carlo Bruni]

Hello:

I am new to the community and I thought this might be the right place to start in order to buy my first Spider. As my skills are limited, the car will need to be turn key. I am in the Richmond Hill area near Toronto if anyone has a line on a 1982 to 1989 Spider.
Thanks!

Stick with the latter years for dependability. I'd avoid the SPICA cars altogether for a rookie. Just look for the usual stuff, head gaskets, good documentation,etc. Other than basics, it depends how much you want to spend, and what you want the car for.

Thanks, Lazz.

I did end up buying a 1987 Quadrafoglio with the hard top about 2 weeks ago. It is is very good shape with 41,000 miles.

I don't have a alfa spider, I own a fiat spider which I could never part with.
Anyways
I am in Middletown, NY one of my best friends is Val Bruni, another fiat lover, any relation.

I remember he and I talking that we both go up to Toronto and visit family.
