For those unfamiliar with this car,
Stock specs:

It's a legendary car that was purpose built to compete against the E30 M3 and Cosworth 190E Mercedes. "Verde" is to the Alfa Milano as "M" is to the BMW 3 series.

Despite its rarity there is a huge following, thus parts are easy to come by. Plus, there's a wealth of worldwide info. This car has a large following in Australia and South America(where it's still driven in rally championships) in addition to USA and Europe. With this huge and dedicated following there are indeed MANY aftermarket performance parts, but keep in mind it is a rare car so the parts aren't always cheap.

New water pump
New fuel injector hoses
Clean title

Bad:

I'm selling because this thing needs a legitimate mechanic, not a weekend warrior. Although it's a car with amazing stock stats, and is a blast to drive, it requires an owner with money or lots of know how. I have neither and I need a reliable car to tow my toddler around in.

The car is currently non-op(no back fees!) because there are some gremlins that I just don't have the mechanical aptitude to figure out and I can't afford to send it to a shop to be fixed.

Looking for $3200

Thanks for looking and if you're not interested, I still recommend you check this under-appreciated car out on youtube or just google.
