My wife drove used Spiders in her 20's, and for her 50th, I'm thinking of buying her a fairly solid driver as a birthday present.
I used the MFSE, but couldn't find a thread on "buying a used alfa". Thought there would be a sticky for sure.
At any rate, can I buy a driver spider which isnt a total rust bucket for 5K ish? It will only be driven in summer (we live in CT) and probably less than 1500 miles per year.
I will comb through posts looking for "things to look for" but my expectations around this vehicle aren't very high. Just something that she can casually drive short distances on nice summer weekends.
She really liked her spiders, they were daily drivers for her in her 20's, and she lived with all the problems inherent, especially owning one in Boston.
Thanks for all your guidance and warnings (or encouragement)!
