Read something recently that suggests there is only one dealer in Scotland going to be selling them...and it's one of Arnie's. Not sure that is going to help their sales in Scotland...

I was reading this on one of the Alfa forums. Lack of choice in Scotland was getting allot people quite frustrated.

Was watching a US You-tube car show which was interesting to see how the US sales was separating the Alfa brand away from the mass market stuff. Seem to be putting the brand alongside Maserati. Wish they did that here in the UK..

Apart from the caliper colour that would be my perfect spec.

Is the cloverleaf front wing badge standard or do they charge for it like Ferrari do?

I'm still torn re the caliper colour, red would look good but there is something striking about the contrast. the car in top gear this month is red with yellow and think it really stands out. It may be a four door saloon but it's heart is part Alfa part Ferrari.

The QV badge is standard. One of the great things about the Giulia (across the range) is how well spec'd it is - very few options to choose from. Carbon seats are a must, make the interior even more special.

Been offered a very good trade in deal on my 4C, £1000 loyalty contribution and 0.8, 2.4 and 3.5% over 2, 3 and 4 years respectively.

Spec - competizione red, yellow calipers, teledial wheels, green and white stitching on black, carbon seats and carbon steering wheel.

Have driven it a couple of times now and it's a fantastic machine. Quick, beautiful with lovely details. It's so nice to see a stylish interior without a stuck on screen you see in BMW, Mercedes and Audi. Has that rare ability to make you feel special from the moment you move away.

I think I am going to give myself an early Christmas present....

Available rates are 0.2, 2.2 and 3.0. Push harder

Well the Inverness dealer is selling them and I doubt that would be the only Scottish outlet so this sounds unlikely.

Yeah I agree, not sure about buying a car of this value and complexity from Arnold Clark..then you would need to take it there for servicing and repairs, no thanks..

What did you put down?

[Nero77]

I'm putting in 6k and then 1k from the dealer. Drive the 4C in, no money changes hands, 4C finance is settled by dealer and then it's just a question of waiting...

Whatever the % it's still v cheap.

that is good news then,and I agree it does seem strange/unlikely, pity the Alfa website dealer location search doesnt seem to know that though, only list the one Dealer for the Qaudrifoglio. Is the Inverness one another Arnie?

3 different amounts. £5/10/15k and tried each over 2/3/4 years. 12k miles a year.

Interesting to see different dealers giving different rates.

The current, soon to be past, and the future.... seeing them next to each other you realise the difference in size and that despite the fact the paint is called the same it's very different.

Yup - I believe that the 4C is wider .

Bit the bullet today.

Comp Red
Yellow Callipers
Tele-dial wheels
Carbon steering wheel.

Did originally have the carbon seats spec'd but decided against it due to lack of electrics.

I've been told April / May for delivery but still waiting for confirmation. Got an awesome deal on PCP so I'm happy. Now to sell the C63

First thing i would do is fit a smaller front plate.
