Our Take:
- Rare Find in the US: The 1998 Alfa Romeo 156 is a true unicorn in the States, especially with a right-hand drive (RHD) configuration. It was primarily sold in Europe, and bringing one to the US requires navigating through import regulations, making this example even more special. Spotting one at a local car show would definitely turn heads given its rarity on American roads.
- Legendary Busso V6 Engine: Ah, the Busso V6—one of the most melodious powerplants to ever grace an Alfa. Enthusiasts often refer to this engine as a mechanical symphony on wheels. Crafted with passion and precision, the 24-valve version in this 156 offers a driving experience that’s both thrilling and aurally satisfying, a real feast for the senses.
- Manual Transmission Charm: For purists, the six-speed manual gearbox adds a layer of engagement that’s hard to replicate with an automatic. Changing gears in an Alfa Romeo is like communicating with the car, a dance between driver and machine—something that continues to captivate driving aficionados around the globe.
- Immaculate Condition: With zero rust and a body in perfect condition, this car defies its age. It’s as if time stood still in Wisconsin. The seller highlights new tires, brakes, and a fresh timing belt, showcasing dedication to upkeep—no small feat for any vehicle, much less a 25-year-old Italian sedan.
