Used Car Of The Day: 1987 Alfa Romeo Milano Platinum
Today we have an 1987 Alfa Romeo Milano Platinum for you.
This one runs but needs a tune-up and some other mechanical work. The interior is also beat up.
There are also a ton of parts available with the car, it seems, as well.
If this sort of thing interests you -- and I am the sort of dummy who likes '80s Alfas -- you can find it in Albuquerque, New Mexico, for $3,000. Click here for more.

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.

- Redbat01 "Has High Price Derailed Your Sports Car Dreams?" People expect so much more of cars today. And so, they have to pay the price. How many of us would be content with a little two seater with a buzzy four-cylinder engine, solid axle rear suspension, rough ride and an ill-fitting convertible top? But that is what a sports car was back in the 1950s and '60s. (I still think Sunbeam Alpines - the ones with the big fins in the back - are the coolest of them all!)
- EBFlex No....you can find plenty of used "fun" cars that are very reasonable with low miles.What does give me pause is the outrageous insurance and yearly registration fees. I shouldn't have to pay for a full year of road use when I can't use the car for half the year. Another factor is interest rates. The dolt that runs the fed is keeping them high for purely political reasons. They need to come down ASAP.
- 1995 SC I actually really like these. I love the Busso V6. And I will continue to admire them in someone else's driveway like all Alfas. I really want a 4c, but I don't quite hate myself enough
- 1995 SC I actually know a guy with one of these. Coolest Tercel ever. I don't mean anything derogatory by that.

To paraphrase Jeremy Clarkson, the peak of the automotive art, for a very brief amount of time.
That time was several decades ago.
