Alfa Romeo Repair: Alfa Romeo, new car loans, max mileage

Question
Well I just graduated and it's time for college. Time for a new car, loans and all that great stuff. Anyways I found this car and I wanted to know what an Alfa Romeo expert thinks. In general are these cars pretty good? 150,000 miles +? Tell me all you think I need to know about Alfa Romeo. Thanks, Matt.

Here's the link to the car.

Answer
It is difficult to find a knowledgable alfa mechanic.  The cars need more maintenance than most.  Be prepared for the occasional expensive repair. The temptation is to delay repairs and then they really get expensive--such as a rebuilt engine in 67k.  My gtv-6 has over 200k and engine is still strong. But, it always is maintained right.
