Poll May Switch Choices
Welcome to This or That; Where I choose 2 vehicles (but probably can't afford) and you choose which one you'd rather have with the poll.
You can explain your choice below, or not.
An exercise of interest: What’s the best bang for buck sedan you can take to Redwood and live with for $8k?
First up is a Bianco Argent (Pale Silver) 1989 Alfa Romeo 33 1.7 EI. It has a Naturally Aspirated Fuel Injected 1.7L Flat-4 Engine with 109hp, 5-Speed Manual Transmission and FWD. Inside is a Charcoal Interior with Cloth Seats, AC and a Retrofitted GoPart Head Unit.
Need those 80’s boost noises?
It’s up against a Light Blue 1985 Volvo 740 Turbo. It has the Turbocharged 2.3L [B230FT] Inline-4 with 154hp, 4-Speed Manual Transmission and RWD. Inside is a Blue Interior with Pinstriped Bucket Heated Front Seats, AC and Retrofitted JVC Head Unit.
Vehicle has a “reconstructed” title with some accident repairs.

@Exage03040 V is for Volvo.
AND THAT ONE IS GORGEOUS.
this interior is SO comfy
If this was for sale right now I'd GLADY fork over 8k for it. -
@Exage03040 Volvo
-
@Exage03040 Easy Volvo vote here. It's a color with a super tight interior and the only Alfa I really want is a 105.
-
@Tripper I think you'd have to be criminally insane to pick the Alfa over that Volvo.
Also it might be one of the only times where choosing the Italian over the Swed would be the dull choice. -
@Exage03040 Volvo is the easy choice. 8 grand seems like someone got a great deal. The seller, that is.
-
a tank vs unreliability... easy choice
-
@Exage03040 I still have to pick the Volvo, but these tailights are wicked cool.
-
@HFV I have to go with the Alfa on this one. The Volvo interior is nice but living somewhere where these are almost a daily sight makes it the more boring choice.
-
The Volvo is a lot nicer inside, but I'm not sure if I could ever live with myself if I took a Volvo over an Alfa when I had a choice. The Alfa is a lot better looking in my opinion too, so that colors this a lot.
-
@Exage03040 Volvo would have to be a wagon for me to consider it. Really not a fan of the 740 sedan.
-
@Exage03040 I've had a Volvo with a salvage title. No thanks. Too many people look at pretty pictures and don't read the details. If I was just voting on a representation of a car, and not the actual car pictured, I'd probably go Volvo instead.
-
@Exage03040 I picked the Volvo, but I feel someone got ripped off at $8k on a "reconstructed title" vehicle with 154k miles.
-
Was leaning to the Vulva until I saw the reconstructed title… so in this case, it’s the Alfa for me
-
@Exage03040 Volvo. If I am to throw money away on a Alfa, it sure as hell won’t be that one!
-
@facw saloon's can be cool
-
@SamV8 I mean I drive a Volvo sedan. But like that 850, it's not a 740 which is a significant improvement.
