P.P.S. Don't ask for pictures. I'm still too raw and it's too soon.
Looking for a new Spider
Hey everyone:
Many of you know me, as I acquired a n RC spider about 18 months ago and have actively posted here, as I have invested heavily in her.
Unfortunately, I had a bizarre accident with her and as repair estimates now being in excess of $55K, my insurance company is going to total the car. (I had a slow, uncontrollable and inexplicable drift off the road into a rocky mountainside - it was slow enough that the airbags didn't go off, but the cumulative suspension and rocker panel damage is now considerable. And we all know that Alfa was selling these at a loss, so the $55K in damages is an issue. And the carbon fiber tub was unscratched!)
I'm heartbroken about this. I loved her, and I feel I let the community down.
I am in the market for a replacement.
The only strict requirements are as follows:
2017+
Spider
Akro exhaust
CF Halo
Reasonably low mileage (< 20K)
(I can replace anything else I want on her)
I am not too particular about color.
And before anyone asks - I am keeping my designbybeau mirrors and engine cover for the replacement!
-Terence
P.S. If anyone can also send me screenshot of comparable sales for insurance purposes, I would appreciate it.

Sorry to hear. I went through this myself back in 2017 so I completely understand not wanting to post pictures (I never did of mine, lol).
I will keep an eye out for a nice spider.

Very sorry to hear that and hope you find a suitable candidate quickly!
I guess you've seen this one?

IIRC you have a carbon fiber hardtop so I guess adding the Koshi halo to this one wouldn't be a solution:
