Saw this car for sale in the Washington Post this morning. Just passin' it along, I haven't seen the car nor do I know the owner. He's asking $19,500 obo.
Boy, that GTV has a lot wrong with it for that kind of $. Looks like a quick cheap paint job on a beater for a quick flip.

I actually went to see that GTV in person this weekend. And I couldn't agree more with you guys. It was a great 10-15 footer with TONS of little blemishes that added up to me walking away from the deal. The paint was done before this dealer picked the car up. They bought it as is, and I believe them.Yes that car looks like a quick flip.. and not a very nice one..![]()
Great question, and Im not quite sure myself on the answer. I have been noticing mint condition GTV's in the mid to uppper 20's. I have also seen some rough looking drivers (original worn out condition) fetch in 8-10 range. This is sort of in between, on the higher end. Hopefully an "expert" will chime in...I'm new to GTV's but not Alfa's. I had a 83 Spider and 84 GTV-6 but both were purchased new-ish. Been thinking of a GTV for my next weekend car but don't know much about them. I see the paint overspray in these pic's and the nicks/bumps etc. How much in your opinion's should a car in this condition go for.
I have seen a fair number of GTV's in the low 20k range advertised, is it reasonable to expect flawless cosmetics for that price or are nicks and scraps to be expected
Thanks

I'm no expert but IMO, the red GTV 2000 in question should be worth no more than $13K - $14K assuming it runs/drives well, has decent compression #s and comes complete (no missing trim, hardware, etc). My guess is this car has some mechanical issues. $14K is probably a stretch. Also, may be the photos but the Rosso Amaranto respray doesn't look quite right. Look at the wheel wells vs. the exterior paint. Hmmmm.I'm new to GTV's but not Alfa's. I had a 83 Spider and 84 GTV-6 but both were purchased new-ish.
