1987 Alfa Romeo 75 Platinum review from North America
"A great car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first got the car there were a few bugs to work out.
ABS brakes needed some sorting which turned out to be a wheel speed sensor.
The power steering pumped leaked but I was able to get a good used one.
Engine wouldn't start when cold, turned out to be a plugged cold start injector. :-)
It has helped that I tinker on the car myself as it really keep the cost down.
General comments?
Once I got the initial bugs worked out the car has been great, nothing but gas and oil for the last two years.
Loves to go to redline as much as do I.
I am very happy with how this choice has turned out. People still say that I have a great looking car but they don't realise that it is a 15 year old family sedan, goes to show the styling has stood the test of time.
