Just some brief background on why I’m frustrated: I live in the same area as the guy who got this now unobtainable deal last summer on a Stelvio TI. 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Ti, South Florida, $362/mo $50,940 MSRP, 1st Pmt DAS and I even tried going to the same exact dealership where he got his. To be honest, I would have taken that deal even if I had to pay the $1500 down he claimed they never charged him. Every dealer I visited this month assured me that deal he got last summer is history and is unlikely to ever return. But the fact that I can’t even get anywhere in his ballpark is very bothersome.
Since the quotes I was getting from dealers on '19 Stelvios with 50k - 51k MSRPs were making me gag, at one dealer I tried to work on their lowest priced vehicle currently in inventory, a 2019 base AWD w/driver assist & upgraded infotainment and some different type of rims, MSRP of just over 46k.
The lowest they were willing to go after an hour of back and forth as I was about to walk out the door was $420+tax monthly w/$2000 DAS, but that was with 36/10, not 24/10 like I wanted. They made it sound like I would not find a deal better than that down here this month and they were only willing to do it because it’s the end of the month. I left anyway, because I still didn’t feel that was anything too great, especially on a base Stelvio when our buddy from last year drove off in a 51K TI for $362 and zero down. I didn’t get a copy of contract or anything to share because I didn’t think this was that great. I told them to give me a call when they were ready to do it for $400 all in, and they said without more incentives from Alfa Romeo that would be impossible.
Am I wasting my time trying to get a great deal on a Stelvio this early in the year? Or was $420+tax with $2K DAS decent? Should I forget about coming anywhere close to what the guy on here accomplished last summer? Or do you think if I wait till summer of this year I could score something similar?
Thanks
