Car: Too many Rep Power: 30 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | My predictions with my limited knowledge of Alfas. The V6 model will keep running, yet with electrical problems, any 4 cylinder models will run great right up until they throw a rod and or sieze. My money is on Jeremy so long as he spent all his money on the 75 then my guess is that being the oldest car at the highest price it will be in the best condition, especially considering that despite the 75 being one of the last RWD Alfas (and a great chassi at that), its a bit of a black sheep due to its styling, a.k.a. a good model can be had for cheap. Thats assuming the 75s driveshaft donuts don't give out ![]() |
