Hello Leasehackrs! Over the past couple of months I have been following this forum and talking with dealers about a lease on a 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio. I ended with quotes from 2 dealers that were quite similar, so it really came down to color. But I really like the salesman with the vehicle that I didn’t choose and told him that I would post the deal on LH and pass any interest along to him. IMHO, this is a FANTASTIC deal on this car and the best that I have seen. Here are the details:
Please note a few things. First, this deal includes Realtor and Maserati Loyalty rebates as well as the standard Great Lakes region rebates. The quoted is price is without taxes and registration fees (which depend on your state) and does not include delivery from the dealer’s midwest location. I am pretty sure that this vehicle was made before the Car Play / Android Auto upgrade, if that matters to you. Finally, the calculator includes some estimates/adjustments that I made to get to the quoted pre-tax monthly payment of $375, but it is still a little off (calculator shows $6/month higher than the quote). Since the calculator doesn’t support having just the first month’s payment due at drive-off, I cheated by including a negative downpayment to offset the doc fee. The Total Lease Cost in the calculator looks wrong to me as well, which is why I included my own calculation above.
If you are interested, PM me and I will give you the dealer’s info. Once the car is gone I will update this post and stop making referrals (I figure the salesman can start posting to LH himself if this works out for him). I am not taking any kind of broker or other fee out of this, just trying to help out this salesman and the LH community.
Definitely agree with that! @muvees, I have your phone number now, I would suggest that you delete your last post. Or @28firefighter, maybe you can use your mod superpowers and redact the number?
To be safe, I would assume there isn’t. I have checked some message boards on this subject and it seems like there are USB ports to be replaced, firmware updates to be performed (which are not publicly available) and potentially swapping out the entire head unit.
I don’t want to derail this thread, but there is no way to back-update a B-Vin or older Stelvio to CarPlay. It has been covered ad nauseum on other boards but you need to have a 2018 C vin or 2019 Stelvio to get CarPlay.
