Supercars spotted, some rarities (vol 6)

[DannyH7]

Full volcano orange 675LT in Whitley Bay. I think I prefer the look of LTs without all the additional (and undoubtedly expensive) carbon-fibre bits

I saw that car up here in Cheshire a few weeks ago, was going to post in the appropriate plates thread but didn't get a photo.

Nice
one of the coupes (they also did 500 spiders)
Not having the CF really hits the residuals on these

Liking the placement of the exhaust pipes - now no need to bend down to heat up two pasties together

I really like the new Alfa Quattro formaggi. Hopefully residuals will be typical Alfa so I can pick one up for cheap in a couple of years.

I prefer just mozzarella on my pizzas

Alfa have little faith in the residual, their PCP offer on the £60k has a GFMV of low £20k's.

Imagine taking one on Finance, optional final payment would probably be around £15k and the car would be worth about £5k.

Had a look at lease prices recently. Nearly £23k over 2 years. I'll just wait and see what they are worth in 2 years instead.

Model Alfa Romeo Giulia 2.9 V6 Bi-Turbo 510 bhp Quadrifoglio (Representative Example)
On the Road Price £59,000
Customer Deposit £9,999
Amount of Credit £49,001

Total Amount Payable by Customer £63,048
Duration of Contract (months) 48
Rate of Interest (Fixed) 2.98%
APR Representative 3.0% APR

Lose £40k or in other words 67% of it's value in 4 years

Don't think 3% APR is too bad

Agreed, just why?!

For about the ninety-squillionth time.

Because the person who owns the car clearly doesn't think it ruins it, that's why they have it on their car.

You are clearly entitled to your opinion but you make the mistake of projecting that opinion onto reality. The owner has paid for the car and enjoys driving the car, you have done neither. For him or her the car isn't "ruined" just because a stranger on the internet thinks it is.

Frankly, I can't always tell one Macca apart from another - same goes for some Aston's

It's a 570S. The GT has the glass hatch over the engine.

Of course!

But that isn't the point, I sometimes have chav plates and sometimes not. The reason it gets on my goat is nobody ever says "Oh, in my eyes it spoils it" or "If you ask me it ruins it", it's always a self important, holier than thou "WELL THAT'S A GOOD CAR RUINED!!!!".
Only for you it's ruined and that's fine but why oh why oh why are people on such a high horse about something that doesn't affect them.

If you bought x model of car and specced it in an unusual colour because that is your personal preference I wouldn't say "Oh well that's a nice car ruined then", I might say I don't like the colour but who the hell would I think I am if I started telling you you've "ruined" your car?

Yes yes it's just shouty internet nonsense I know but it grinds my gears.

It's not an opinion.

It is simply a nice car ruined.

Bit like a matte wrap. Ruins any car.
