The Alfa Romeo 4C lease thread

Sorry so are you saying that despite delaying the first service they still made you pay for a second service even though technically it wasn’t due?
Nah - The leasys guy was quite upfront, if it the service is not due, you don't need to do it. I pulled the collection date forward by a few days just to make sure. The replacement Golf R has been sitting at the dealer since the beginning of June - collection / drop off is next Friday.
Will be sad to see the 4C go.
In todays leasing market there is absolutely nothing out there similar for the same money.

Damn you children
Mines gone back now, collection and inspection all very easy. I was half expecting them to claim front tyres needed replacing due to slightly uneven wear, but everything was fine. In my opinion fair wear and tear rules are more than fair, but after 19k miles my car was still close to mint. Like others I delayed first service allowing we to skip the second and that was not a problem.
I’m going to miss it! Thank you Alfa!

From a used perspective, i found that v few dealers are willing to buy these cars outright. The few dealers that are willing to, will add significant margin to cushion against being stuck with the cars for a while. Despite being an Alfa product, I couldn’t find any local Alfa dealers who were willing to put a price on it, perhaps because they have a different clientele and product mix, and the 4C doesn’t really suit. So then the cars are primarily handled by independent dealers.
Such a shame as they are wonderful machines.

Yes which is why I think it would be interesting to see where the ones being leased and handed back now on this thread end up and for how much. My question wasn’t just about general value Such a shame as they are wonderful machines.

There are only 6 in the AR stock list used and the prices are so inconsistent from 57k for a 2015 car with 7k miles to 36k with for a 2016 car with 17k on ... and bang in the middle a 2014 Launch Edition car with less than 200 miles .... no wonder they don't want anymore ....
Veloces have a 2016 car with 11k on for 38k .....
They are with some odd outfits like TH Boler and Marshalls, i do wonder how many are SOR, and then you have the odd prive seller trying to get retail money ......
Looks like a bunch of 50th Anniversary cars including mine will be up for auction tomorrow- Manheim Bruntingthorpe auction. Not sure how you see sale price though.
Nice to see mine described as Grade 1 condition after 19k miles!
