Depreciation Insight
The Alfa Romeo Spider depreciation curve follows a typical luxury‑sports pattern: the chin‑y car often drops the biggest slice in the first couple of years, then stabilizes.
- First year: Losses normally range from 15–20% of original MSRP.
- Years 2‑4: The car generally loses another 5–8% annually as new models arrive and refinement improves.
- Years 5‑8: Depreciation slows to 3–5% per year, reflecting the shift from “new” to proven quality.
- Beyond 10 years: Home in the 5–7% bracket, as the population of functioning 2002 Spiders has thinned but the collector market has hardened.
So, if you’re buying a *used Alfa Romeo Spider price* after five years, the vehicle typically retains about 65–70% of its value relative to the original price.
Comparison Context
Compared to similar sports coupes in the same price realm, the 2002 Alfa Romeo Spider stands out in both charm and quirks:
- Mazda MX‑5 Miata (1999‑2005): The Miata offers lower maintenance costs and a more aggressive rev‑up due to its 4‑tuned 1.8‑liter engine, but lacks the visceral Italian styling.
- Porsche Boxster (1996‑2004): While the Boxster boasts a flat‑6 mid‑engine layout and factory horsepower >200 hp, it comes with skin‑deep complexity – a higher service cost and the risk of more frequent electrical issues.
- BMW Z3 (1999‑2005): A more technologically advanced option with leather seats and a 2.3‑liter turbo engine, though it usually commands a higher resale figure than the Alfa Romeo Spider.
