Cool Love my quad lights on the XR - got simmilar for missus!

Well, my wifes car (1999 Mazda 323) got written off after a minor
accident which wasnt her fault. I was looking at getting her perhaps
a used Mazda 3, Mazda 6, or 2001 Laser.... But I came accross this
beautiful quad light (Matches my AU XR6) thing. I picked it up in Sydney
for under $20K with 53,000kms on the clock. I drove it back down to
Melbourne, and I must say its a joy to drive! A very sexy little convertible
which gets plenty of looks, and its just perfect on a sunny day! I couldn't
beleive how fantastic value these Alfa Spiders are!!!

Thanks guys.

The wife is really happy with the car! We took it for a cruise
with the roof down yesterday, and it was great fun!

It handles really well being fanged through the twisty stuff.

Alfa Romeo reliability issues have really been sorted these days,
the only drawback is that spare parts & servicing is quite exensive.

Quite a neat looking car, surprised you can pick up a convertible under $20k tho. Looks like a good buy.
