Nice spec very low miles Spider just released to the market on AT at JW.Rigby

It is nice, but Alfa Red not Competitizone.

It's strong money, unless we are starting to see prices creep up?

£21,150 off of its new price after 2 years and 426 miles. I'd say it was a bargain! I make the current average asking price for 2016 Spiders is £45,361. So the asking price is just below average.
I'd probably take the higher mileage Comp Red car at Auto100 over this one though.

I wouldn't. The Auto100 one has the nasty plasticky dash.

I agree that the non leather dash doesn't look great.. however, surely a decent trimmer could sort that out for a sensible amount?

I think alcantara with red stitching would look great. I've got to say that the plastic dash doesn't really bother me. When I take my car out it's usually for a spirited drive, and the dashboard is the last place i'm looking.

Whoever bought the black spider from London Morgan certainly got a bargain then especially with the extra exterior carbon that made it stand out.

So after two years of ownership I’ve finally been pulled over for no front plate. Was on the M1 yesterday going to London. They came past and looked back at me so he knew what he was after. Good telling off and £100 fine later I’m on my way. Not bad though for over two year driving. Might put a stick on plate on not sure. Was told by dealer in London I use as it came out the factory without the plate holder you can have a sticker. Decisions....................

[Armitage.Shanks]

I'd have thought advice might have been more proportionate? 95% of sports/supercars round my way don't seem to have a front plate! Whilst some have the same 'issues' as us in finding a suitable mounting place other like maclaren don't really have an excuse.

I think they must of been unhappy as I was out having fun and they were working lol.

Earlier today I bought the HWM cars one.

[T5GRF]

Good work,.
Glad to see it's finally been sold as a coupe..
It looks a lovely car with a very nice specification!

Well done mate - sorry about snatching the other from under your nose

[Demolitionman13]

Are you guys paying the screen price or are there some small discounts to be had on the cars?

How are the insurance quotes for your new toys?

Currently got a Giulia QV and toying with adding a 4c too.

I paid screen price, but I think it was a bit of a good price anyway.
Dealer has paid for wheel refurb (a few scratches on 2 wheels) to my colour of choice, and fully paid for the 1st service, which is a big one.

To change my insurance from an F-Type R to the Alfa resulted in a refund of £12...

I got a fair bit off when I bought mine but perhaps since buying prices have firmed up a bit.

Insurance with 3k Miles a year, garaged is £370 a year for me comprehensive with a £250 excess.

[BlackPorker]

I didn't pay screen price and got it for similar price as MellowskipSlinky. I have a Giulia QF too. Just need the 8C now for the Alfa Romeo modern "holy trinity".

Thanks for the replies all. Very useful.

The Quadrifoglio should be all that i need but i miss the rawness of my Exige. Am hoping that the 4C may have found a level now and i wouldn't do my brains on a weekend car.

Congratulations! Was that the Coupe on AT or the Grey Spider on here?
