There aren't many well done up examples, but they do have potential. 86 and 87 are the best years to get though.

Rear end throws me off a little, but definitely interesting.

I guess its an Acquired taste but I think they are pretty cool looking for a hatch.

I love, love, love the GTV6. With that said be prepared for higher than E30 costs and headaches. With that one being in that condition it will definitely take some work. Those cars have a community and the coolness factor is definitely up there. I want to own one someday.

That's kinda ugly IMO...

I'd wait for m42.

Well R3v, I've been looking for a 318is for a long while, still have not found a stock one that wasn't blown into the sky for price range. But as I was browsing good old Craigslist I found one of my other long time favorites, maybe even more so then the E30. I had found an Alfa Romeo GTV6 for sale in decent/average condition for 3500$, I was thinking of bringing him down to maybe 2800 at least for extra money for repairs and removing dents... Or for a set of Corbeau Sport Seats to replace the normal seats in it.

Alfa in question: http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/cto/3262453758.html

So r3v, wait for M42 car, or get this sexy Italian into my garage?

If you know anything about Alfas please tell me what they cost in comparison to an E30 for maintenance, upgrades, parts, etc.
