If its a lease car are you allowed to do the steering fix ?? It requires new parts being fitted by a third party specialist & will cost you £450

Im not knocking the deal, just owning one I know as std with the heavily track focussed set up it can be a tadge lively on the British cart tracks known as roads, Im guessing if you don't like it you just do it & either leave it when you hand it back or get it put back to stock
I'll probably go for the £450 fix. I value my life more than that!

An explanation re: different prices at Unity Oxford...

...the cheaper prices are for cars registered before 31st March (i.e. before VED rates increase). The prices I quoted in the OP are for cars delivered from 1st April. Thought I'd messed up the figures for a brief moment!

Guess the question is, anyone managed to get a stock car? biggrin

So some cars are in stock then. Good news for those wanting it ASAP.

Just be mindful that 'only' £17/month is actually (9+23)x£17 = £544
Apparently the £319/month does not include the tax increase of £185 to £500

For those of you on a budget I don't think servicing is included. Check but if it isn't It's annual or every 12000 and it isn't cheap. The first service is a big one, mine was £940, second was 600 , I don't know to much about leasing but I assume if you have the car for 2 years it has to go back with services completed .
Fixed price servicing is available for £1400. First service was quoted at £1200 I think.

I was informed the prices were incorrect and wasn't aware of any stock cars available so not quite sure what's going on.

The xenon option is £400 so that's what it cost spread monthly over the term as far as I understand?

I signed up! So excited! Got black with xenons.

It test drove so well! It sounds like a supercar from inside but looks like a poverty elise inside! I'm really only buying it because it looks so incredible outside. Real head Turner.

If anyone is procrastinating then don't. For 10k (and 20% rrp) over two years there's nothing better out there surely!

Can anyone clarify service requirements? Puts me off what seems to be amazing deals.

What estimated delivery dates are people getting? Someone mentioned September. Is that other people's experience?

Very jealous of all you lot, seems like a great deal on a great car.

If I didn't have the remainder of the agreement still to run on my car, I'd probably have opted in too!

It puzzles me that speccing a cost-option colour (like red) adds so much to the rental when a) It will improve resale (probably), and b) The rental period is only 2 years, so the additional cost should be pro-rata.

As it is, there are going to be an awful lot of black 4Cs around in just over 2 years. You'd think it would be in Alfa's interest to make it affordable to mix it up a bit.

To those that have driven, how bad is the tramlining? The reviews say it is pretty horrendous but I have z4 coupe with run flats and that's no roller.

Want so bad but it would be a daily for me..
