Ive started the search for a new car for my wife and she has been enamored with the Giulia since we took one for a test drive last year. I got these number from a dealer in the Chicago area. Based on the current state of Giulia residuals, I don’t think it’s half bad.
Here are the numbers in the calculator. Like I said, I’m unsure of the exact breakdown of the fees but my best guess based on their worksheet came out to essentially the same paymentr so I am pretty confident.
Reach out to @ralphsaphony he should be able to help… He posted some deals earlier this summer, August was good but I think September was not as flattering… He should know what numbers look like for October…
I would love to hear an opinion from @ralphsaphony !
It seems like the residuals really fell through the floor in September, which is coincidentally the month my wife decided that she no longer wanted to keep her Mazda “forever” and wanted something new
FWIW, the numbers the dealer gave me for MF, RV, and incentives exactly match those I got from Edmund’s.
We actually ended up signing a lease for a Mazda 6 Signature instead (will make a new thread with that deal), but I don’t think this ended up being a terrible number for 15k miles per year. I was really pushing to get below $500 for 15k but this seemed to be the lowest they would go.
Thanks for your feedback, that is definitely a great price on a nice car. But that was also 2 years ago, on a different car, in a different part of the country.
I don’t claim to be a professional Hackr or that this was the best deal in the country, but I also haven’t seen many comparable deals (at least not outside of SoCal) on the Giulia since the RVs tanked for September.
