4C - Where are we with prices right now?

[Chris1712]

That is a bargain. Has some interior carbon and the race exhaust also. Was really hoping the bottom of the market wouldn't get under £30k this year, but looks like it could happen .

I would have thought prices would hold up. I've been doing monthly WBAC quotes on my 4C coupe and their offer has actually gone up nearly £2K in the last 6 months!

Interesting. Just ran mine through there for a quote and it was more reasonable than I expected. I'd still hope to get a bit more than that on trade in at a dealer but it's certainly much easier

That does look a great deal, less than I paid for mine in Sep with 25k miles - similar spec

Just run WBAC and much higher (£4k) than the Autotrader prices which seem way too low

Hi All
I've got a Aston V8 Vantage at the moment but have decided that I need something less practical so today I went to test drive a 4C - Im now sold on the idea of getting one I had an Exige S1 many years ago so it reminded me a of that, but probably a bit more refined.

Iv'e read Joe's buying guide which is very helpful, but I have a couple of questions.
- What I test drove today was Spider but I think id prefer a coupe - are there any differences between the two other than the roof?
- From reading this thread it seems like Alfaworks is the best place to go for servicing - but does anyone have any recommendations for garages in Essex/London area
- Can someone let me know what the servicing schedule is, for example if I was looking at a 2016 car how many service stamps should I be looking for

Many thanks all
Cheers
Paul

There is servicing info for the car on the Alfaworks website. I was looking at it a few days ago.
I’m sure I read that the Spiders had some small improvements done to them over the coupe.
That was from reading articles I found via google as I’m seriously considering one myself.
A white spider with tarty red seats would do just fine!

Apart from the obvious differences the spider has much better rearward vision than the coupe, most helpful when reversing. Make sure you get the bag to store the roof panel and the car cover, both factory supplied, are present.

Thanks guys.
I was surprised by the rear vision in the Spider as it was better than I expected - think I need to try a coupe.

[Chris1712]

Anecdotally the Spider is quieter in the cabin. I think the soft top lets some acoustics escape a bit, compared to the coupe which really resonates at motorway speed.

My Apple Watch registers 79-83db on a cruise in my Spider, be interesting what a Coupe is.

[lawrywild]

Coupe looks sooo much better though

[Stuart J]

I thought about a spyder but went for another coupe , yes I prefer the looks of the coupe but the big killer for me was a boot that’s already small is where you put the roof , I enjoy decent driving holidays and the thought of taking even less luggage didn’t appeal .

The Alfa std sports Zorst is the thing that resonates at motorway speed, the Alfaworks aftermarket doesn’t and sounds so much better overall

I miss mine very much, and would jump at this one if I was in the position to buy now.
Sadly I’m not...

Mostly low spec ones. The good spec, fairly priced ones sell quickly

You should never stalk an ex... it just prolongs the hurt!
