Hi guys, i am looking at buying a '98 Spider 5spd, and i am wondering what i should look for in the way possible problems or what are the known issues with this model. The Dealer only sells sports and classic cars.  And the last Alfa i owned was a Alfetta 2ltr.   :)

Thanks Jayarr  much appreciated,  :)  from what i understand this car i am looking at used to be the car dealers son's private car. And for some strange reason the kid wants to buy a bloody big camaro  :o  silly lad lol.  It has 190,000 on it and is about due for a Minor service.

 :-\  hehe Jayarr i am hoping it's considered a good price, i've looked at prices thru carsales.com etc and it seems about right for what he is asking. Even the little red book says the price tag ( 13.950 ) is about right. It is in pretty good nick and even has the fancy chrome wheels on it  8)
