I'm seriously looking at one of these for a daily (ish) driver.
Anyone got experience of the best deals / lease options available?
My wife leases from nationwide car leasing and 3 cars in is happy with those, online pricing for the QF looks good. Alfa dealers on Carwow are coming back 5% discount with one offering 9% discount on their pcp. Or using someone like oracle finance to sctructure a pcp / lease deal. To be honest it all looks much of a muchness to me, but what's the collective thoughts on the best way from experience?
And more importantly ... colour? It's Italian, so red jumps to mind! Silver looks good, but my Elise and wife's merc are silver so not sure. Blue with yellow calipers looks nice I think?
Mine is a spit under £600/mth on lease, 6 upfront. 15k/yr over 4 years. Go via a broker, dealers are sAnyone got experience of the best deals / lease options available?

t - best dealer quite was £100 more for only 12,000 miles.I went Vesuvio and over 3 months on, still think it is the best colour...IMO. Pictures of mine are on the previous page. I don't like colour callipers, but thats just a personal thing.
Totally agree on the Vesuvio Grey; I thought I wanted the tri coat red until I saw the grey. Now I'm going for grey.
Welcome to the Vesuvio club

Hopefully! When I leased my M5 it was £648 a month including VAT; figures were always provided inclusive of VAT, as are all personal lease figures on contracthireandleasing. The only lease figures I've seen excl VAT were business lease.
You've mentioned that before. The only lease figures I've looked at were business lease. But right now, you can't get an M5 for less than £1200/mth (incl VAT).
The only way you could get an M3 for £648/mth would be on a 9+47 and being limited to 8,000 miles per year.
If you are hoping to repeat your last lease, you're going to be disappointed I'm afraid. You got possibly the best leasing deal known to the performance car Gods

I reclaim VAT so I look at it differently!

You are so right about dealers. They are so bad that this morning I again spoke to Alfa Romeo Customer Care in Italy. This was necessary since I got contradictory advice from dealers as to either Monza Red or Silverstone Grey colours were available for the
Quatrofoglio. They pointed me in the direction of a Silverstone Grey car being sold in this country, but is has a bare unpainted carbon fibre bonnet and roof, which does not appeal to me.
I await their reply re Monza Red, but in the meantime have found a Guilia 2 litre car in Tucson, Arizona which is painted Monza Red. It is an absolutely fabulous colour, so I hope that I can order a car in that colour.
why dont you look at the configuartor for color options rather than wasting a dealers time Quatrofoglio. They pointed me in the direction of a Silverstone Grey car being sold in this country, but is has a bare unpainted carbon fibre bonnet and roof, which does not appeal to me.

Blue with yellow calipers looks great, and what I’d have.
In fact, yellow calipers with any body colour except red - then only red calipers.
There’s a stunning grey one for sale here

red callipers on red is too samey, red and yellow is the best combo for red paintIn fact, yellow calipers with any body colour except red - then only red calipers.

I keep thinking about getting it done - can’t have enough carbon!
Get it fitted by the dealer if you do!
Classic Ares,
Have you got the Carbon knob refitted by dealer?
My dealer tried 2 couldn't get them to fit, phoned Italy, no help, had the AlfaUK training guy in, no luck. Waiting to hear from Italy again.
I spoke to Naz on Saturday and she said its very simple and not problematic and should be a quick job, so she will be in touch with my dealer to finally sort it.
The fact you said yours was difficult suggest Naz may have been incorrect and there is an issue.
The fact that the CF knob should have been standard factory fit given the rest of the CF on the dash and trim would have made this a non issue. Even then the CF knob looks a bit cheap and crappy.

If that’s your car in the pic you don’t *have* to be offended by my comment.
It’s just my opinion and a colour combo I think looks crap.
