Greetings to everyone. I have been a member for about 6 years, but life intervened and I never got myself a drivable Spider. But my Alfa interest never ceased. Suddenly, there appears a silver 86 Quad at my local used car dealer! About crashed my truck rubbernecking to see if I saw what I saw...
The car runs, has about 127K on the odo, and the dealer is asking $6K. They handed me the keys and let me start it. It started right up idled smooth. No noxious smoke emitting from the tailpipe which was encouraging.
I know pictures are always wanted, so today I went and snapped off a few with my cellphone camera.
It appears that in one of our summer storms down here in Georgia a tree branch fell on the car and dented the boot lid as well as possibly the top. Both appear to be repairable. Otherwise it looks fine for a car nearly 30 years old and better than many much newer.
Any opinions on price, condition and general advice greatly appreciated. The admiral and I are going to go by tomorrow and take it for a drive. In the meantime I am beside myself hoping this car is a keeper and I can swing a deal.
