The Alfa Romeo Spider (939 chassis), produced from 2006 to 2011, is a stylish and fun convertible based on the Alfa 159. The Alfa is known for its elegant Italian design and a spirited driving experience. It offers a unique alternative to mass-produced convertibles. Here's what you need to consider:
Common issues can include wear in the suspension (particularly front) components, electrical faults and turbocharger issues. The timing belt should have been addressed, due to age. Due to it being a convertible, water leaks can present themselves and damage the interior, so inspect for dampness.
Tyre conditions, brake pad and rotor condition should be inspected. Check CV boots and suspension components for any wear and tear. As this is a relatively low car, check the underside for any damage.
The Alfa Romeo Spider range had a variety of different engine options over its lifecycle, offering drivers different driving experiences depending on your need for speed! The interior design and leather trim are comfortable but can be prone to damage via sun exposure. It is important to make sure the soft convertible roof functions smoothly - replacements are expensive.
