Almost 20 years have passed since the last Alfa Romeo that was affordable to mere mortals was sold in the US. Sure, there was a brief comeback with the 8C Competizione and new models are set to reach these shores soon, but it seems like us Italian car car enthusiasts have been waiting a lifetime for this to happen. If you are impatient, why not sample one of the last new Alfas we had access to, the 164 sedan? For sale in Georgia, this final year 164LS 5-speed manual is about as close to new as you can get, with just over 25,000 miles on the clock.

CLICK FOR DETAILS:1995 Alfa Romeo 164LS
One owner 25,000 miles, very clean and nice, Fresh timing belt and water pump. Clean Carfax. A great find with very low miles that is in very nice condition.
Versus the rear-drive Milano & 75, the 164s seemed to be valued just a little bit less, no doubt due to the fact that some hardcore Alfisti deride the front-drive architecture shared with Fiat, Lancia and Saab. This 164 truly pushes the envelope of what is possible when it comes to values currently, but it's doubtful you'll find one with less mileage anytime soon. For someone who has to have Pininfarina styling, a sonorous exhaust note and just needs to be different, there are few better luxury sedans with which to do it with on US shores.

Isn’t this the same grossly overpriced black 1995 164LS for sale in Connecticut from last year? (www.classicitaliancarsforsale.com/1995-alfa-romeo-164ls-5/)
While the market has improved dramatically, pricing is still way out of line. Seller is fishing for that one emotionally smitten buyer willing to pay 2X for an ultra-low mile 164LS.
Larry,
It appears to be the same car, good call. It is hard to keep each and every vehicle straight on these sites with multiple writers, as you can imagine (especially after a year’s time). Not surprising it is still for sale. Appears to be ahead of the market.
Where is the battery located on these things?
PJ, the battery is located in the trunk.
