Need true market value To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, December 29, 2010, 12:16 PM Being a member of this list makes us Alfa nuts but I have to take exception to delusional behavior. To classify the Milano (and the GTV6 and 164 for that matter) as a collector car is a stretch. They are owned because they are different and/or great fun to drive. Collector cars are almost, by definition, 'in demand' with values that are quantifiable and understood. While original, low mileage, rust free late model Alfa's with records and no accidents may sell in the 5-10K range it is rare. eBay is the most likely source to find what kind of cars sell for what price. A look through Alfa Owner or you local club mag/newsletter will show many good condition Milano's etc. that have been for sale for a long time and they are targeted ads at other enthusiasts. Value for insurance purposes is not the 'value' the car has for the owner. If you want more for your Alfa don't wait until it gets totaled, get an agreed value from your insurer. The reality is when you sell a Milano you are recovering the cost of maintenance (if you are lucky), the car is basically free.
