Ideally a 50th anniversary in Rosso competizione. Failing that a high spec spider with the 18/19 wheels, racing exhaust, leather dash, carbon air intake, leather or microfibre seats, parking sensors and cruise control in any colour except yellow. Full service history and not an ex lease would be a bonus.
That makes 2 of us looking for that spec hehe

Bloody hell, it’s going to hard enough finding one as it is without the competition headachelaugh

Ex lease and daft price. I phoned about it and dealer won’t move on price. The best I’ve seen sold around 38k, (I was an hour too late), and recent main dealers sold around 40k, so if someone wants to pay an extra 5k good luck to them.

On Manheim is there a black 4C on about 14k miles with black tinted reflectors? I can't see what they have for sale

No not on there at the moment. There was around 4 or 5 black coupes on there at one point.

I'd only been keeping an eye out so I could see how much mine was when it ended up with a dealer. Unfortunately not a great price, about £1,500 more than the offer I had from Leasys to buy. Too much for a basic spec, as much as I still loved it.

Alfa 4c is 2090 o/all wing mirrors , std single garage door is 2100, that’s 7ft, not 8 ft , so measure your door . I can back through a 7ft door , I just fold the drivers side door mirror in as I pass the door pillar my side and then out once in .
If you don’t fancy that the 4c is really light so if your garage entry is flat it’s a dodle to push in and out . I have single doors on a double garage so once in i can open the door fully. Biggest concern with a single garage is getting in and out of the car once in the garage so it’s better if you can push it in and out
Mine fitted in easily enough it it was a squeeze to get in and out. I found putting the seat back then lifting my right leg out at 180 degrees to the left and then lifting myself up on the rear wing worked. I’m 5’9 and 65kgs though and fairly flexible, if you’re much bigger I hope you know a good physio lol

I’m 6’4” and 99kgs and did ok in a single garage.
Admittedly, it was slightly wider than a single once through the door but not by much.

I was lucky with mine on two counts. Firstly, I never measured the door v car and when I first brought it home I did have a bead of sweat.... I have a double garage but single doors on the front so once inside I was lucky enough to be able to open the door fully.

If it’s the black coupe, it’s at the same dealer that is selling the yellow spider pictured above. Maybe just using the Manheim photos before collecting it. I see autotrader is down to just 13 cars now. I could be waiting a long time for the perfect spec and condition to appear.
I bought mine this time last year and there were 30+ for sale

Mine was the cheapest at £33k, although relatively high mileage. Lowest at the mo is £34k

Looks like theyve been taking lessons on soft top design from Lotus

Go for it. I could end up waiting to buy the perfect car and end up never finding it.

Same here ; I’m only looking to purchase around the end of the year to be honest. My 4C went back in July so I’m biding my time for a few months before pushing the button on one.

Definitely a good time to be an owner and even better if your thinking of selling.
