It's hard to give a decent answer to this without writing a book...

I would suggest buying a copy of Pat Braden's "Alfa Romeo Owners Bible" 
and reading it through. He has a great section on buying a secondhand 
Alfa which can save you a lot of expense and frustration. 

It's available from <http://www.motorbooks.com/> for $29.95. Catalog # 
119508.
