Hello,
I am trying to decide whether I should buy a 1987 Alfa Romeo Milano/75 for $1500 CDN (roughly $1250 USD). This is most likely the "platinum" version. I have heard that there are problems with reliability (brakes, electrical). I am a student and although I have plenty of money to perform regular maintenance I am not going to be able to bare too many expensive replacements.
I know that this mostly depends on how well the previous owner has taken care of the car but does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Believe me, I have owned many Italian cars. Right now I own a 1975 Lancia.That sounds like a great buy,but it WILL be expensive for parts.And unless you are an above average wrench, and able to work on it yourself,it will be hard to find a decent mechanic to work on it.....and it won't be cheap!

Sorry---run away. This car is a piece of crap (and I LOVE Alfas and have owned them).
If you MUST have an Alfa, get a 1982-93 Spider with Bosch injection, or if you MUST have a sedan, try a 164 but only with a manual transmission-----Alfa automatics really suck.
Unless you can budget perhaps $200 a month to keep this car on the road, (that's just maintenance and repairs, not gas or insurance), I'd suggest you sober up and try something else.
BAD cars the Milano....BAD BAD cars....

that's an ok automobile. no longer the fastest automobile yet no longer the slowest both. once you're searching into figuring out to purchase this kind of i'd not recommend it. they're very unreliable, and performance a huge style of documented fires. they have a wiring issue in the major harness that more beneficial oftentimes than no longer shorts out and motives engine fires ruining your automobile. on the different hand inspite of the actuality that they're a blast to emphasize. if you're looking for for a Fiero like automobile i'd recommend the Mazda Miata or in case you may have the funds for it the Honda S2000.

Agree, Milano BAD BAD. Had to replace the fuel line at least 3 times in one year. Guiseppe(car's name) ate oil like there was no tomorrow. Had it tuned constantly by the Alfa dealership. Try something else, please.
