We're going back to the older Italian car well for today's UCOTD, so brace your wallet. We're featuring a 1989 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce.

This triple-black car has 113,000 miles on it, is said to run and drive well, and has been garaged and owned by the same person for the past two decades.

The owner wants to sell only in New Jersey, and I normally might skip such a listing, but there are obviously a lot of people in that area -- the seller doesn't live in the middle of nowhere. So if you're in or close to New Jersey and have a spare 10 grand, this car could be yours. That's right -- the asking price is a mere $9,250. Check it out here.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Question 1 part A: Why would you "Only want to sell locally to NJ"?
Question 1 part B: To what lengths is the seller prepared to go to verify that I'm not lying about my state of residence, or that he isn't selling to an intermediary who is immediately going to flip it to me X states away?
Question 2: When did under-hood pinups become a thing?

  1A: He doesn't want to deal with out of towners.
  
  1B: Probably not too many, and I doubt dude cares if you NJ resident turn around and sell it.
  
  2. News to me, my guess is he only puts it on for shows otherwise she'd get very dirty.

  I don't do this but some guys like to squeeze one off while working on their car.

EBFlex This is just an avenue to track people. The state needs to be nuked.
FreedMike I'm cool with something in my nav screen or gauge cluster notifying me of the speed limit. Mandated limits? Automated slowdowns? Nope.
Kjhkjlhkjhkljh kljhjkhjklhkjh if your going more than 10 mph over for any length of time beyond passing, you are putting everyone at risk and it should be loud as hell and and constant. if you are going more than 20 over any more than 20 seconds it should notify law enforcement and your insurance company. a whole bunch of people are about to scream at me that ''it might be an emergency'' ... i get that but you going 20 or more over .. now YOU are the hazard that can kill a family.
Jalop1991 first he has to define "affordable".He hasn't, so he can later say that means whatever he wants.It's like the law: you can't just make a law without first defining your terms carefully and completely. Otherwise, it's meaningless.Just like this announcement of Ford's.
