I've had the car serviced locally by Bayles Tuning in West Palm Beach, who are specialists in foreign cars. I've known the owner, Jim Bayles (a race car driving gearhead), for over 25 years and wouldn't take a car anywhere else. - bigfissh From: slfaught2012 To: bigfissh Subject: Re: Vehicle condition: slfaught2012 sent a message about Alfa Romeo : Other #290777664967 Sent Date: Sep-26-12 11:19:32 PDT Dear bigfissh, Thanks for answering so thoroughly. I appreciate the effort! As far as paint goes, I was referring to the black bumpers--the insert on the early cars was light grey--but I forgot they started painting them black from the factory in the later years. My mistake. Where did you have it serviced? Stephen's Alfa? - slfaught2012On Sep-27-12 at 18:12:59 PDT, seller added the following information: Adding the following information in response to some questions I received: Are there any leaks? No. The car blows no smoke, doesn't burn oil and the driveway is clean. What about second gear synchro? As with all Italian sportscars, one has to get to know the shift pattern precisely. I am able to shift through all gears, including second, with ease. Although I wouldn't let my wife drive her! Does the clutch or driveshaft vibrate? I don't believe so. I am no expert and could ask my mechanic his opinion, but any problems with the car have been repaired as they arise and this hasn't come up. My mechanic is very knowledgeable. What do you hope to get for the car? I have put the reserve on this car quite low at $5k to get the ball rolling. The NADA retail is between $7,700 - $13,600. Ideally, I'd like to see something in the $6200-$6500 area. I'm taking a loss but will be content to know she's getting a new home while freeing up space at mine.
