Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio - Anyone Ordering One

[footsoldier]

I’ve just taken the plunge and bought a Misano blue one.
Collecting Friday, looking forward to it.
Not driven one yet, so I’m relying on all the positive forum chat, and all the good reviews!

You'll hate it.

I loathe mine so much that I've decided to take it to the Nurburgring on Saturday. It'll be really rubbish there.

It'll be the most fun you've had with your trousers on

I suspected this.


Sigh!

I've just got back. It comes alive there. You will love it.
I have a card with 2 laps left on it. £50 if you want it. Will save you queuing. And save me the embarrassment of forgetting it next year.

I'd love to buy it but I won't get it in time now. Many thanks for your kind offer though.

No problem.
Enjoy your trip. Try and get into PistonKlause for the hot stone steak.

Hi, I’m new to this forum and considering purchasing a Vulcan black QF with the upgraded alloys. Anyone with a similar purchase they could share any feedback/reviews, good or bad? Thanks

Amazing. JFDI.

That's pretty much all you need to know.

About to go and have a chat with my local dealer about ordering a QF.

What sort of achievable discounts are around, carwow only hits about 4% at the mo.

Unless you’re after something really specific, I think there’s a lot to be said for a very lightly used one.

[Little Lofty]

Yes I agree with the above, I bought mine as a pre reg, it would have listed at around £65k, it’s now worth £48k/£49k trade at 9 months old. Obviously it depends how long you expect to keep it, but as I change mine before a year old I simply could not afford that sort of loss every year.

Would love to get a pre reg but I “need” the folding seats of the MY19 Giulia QF. Also isn’t the APR on used horrific compared to new ?

I got around 5% apr so not too bad.

Exchange rate and low margin at the dealership (they're not like the M3 which has loads of mark up. It's an expensive car to build). You'll be lucky to beat 5% at the moment.

If you need the seats then it’s a moot point buying used, but if you go elsewhere other than a dealer for your finance you can still get <6% apr

Just been told that 'my' car should be arriving at the dealers in week 3 of December 2018. Am I reasonable to expect a turn round of no more than a week to being ready?

That’s good. I’m hoping for a mild snow free Christmas while the office is closed
