Up for sale is a 1989 Alfa Romeo Milano Gold Edition. With only 112,000 miles on its 2.5L V6 churning out 154 horsepower, this soulful beauty is the last Alfa model released before the brand was purchased by Fiat. With near 50/50 weight distribution and an onboard diagnostic computer, this fine piece or vehicular artwork will ferry you around corners while simultaneously alerting you of your engine status.

With a sharp looking interior and a 5-speed transmission, this particular model is enticing, for a lovely low price of $2900. It hails from Norman, Oklahoma, and likely is being sold because a fellow gearhead realized that Alfa soul does not come cheaply, and textbooks even less so.

If only I had space in my garage.

Don't mean to be picky but I'm pretty sure the last Alfa released before the Fiat purchase was the 164.

EDIT: Nah, I was wrong. It was the last Alfa to be developed before the purchase. That's what being "pretty sure" gets you.

CP, why are the timing covers off, front seats are beat to crap, peeling paint, TRX wheels, old no name battery. Would run like hell even if the t-belt was just done, because either someone was too lazy to finish or couldnt get the covers on. Trust me, I have a Silver, with a 3rd of the miles at half the price. Oh yeah and the coolant is low too

NP if it's up to date on maintenance and has had the timing belt/water pump recently. But I have my reservations given the timing cover's current location.

Someone's going to come in and tell you about all of the Milanos they've bought for $1500 and how this is so ridiculously overpriced, but they're full of shit. It seems like it may have been sitting some, and I'd rather have one that's seen regular use recently, but this is a good price for a Milano in good mechanical condition (if it is indeed, which is a huge IF here).
