I cant find a Giulia for lower than 500!

3

Me either, actually less than $580 in NC!!

4

$379 with how much due at signing? Is the discount including rebates or prior to?

5

thats actually good for September, i can’t find anything under 500 for Sept…

6

$4000 down.

7

If that is inclusive of all taxes and fees, it is actually still not that bad. About $490 effective on $46k msrp.

8

No thank you. I wouldn’t want anything to do with that.

9

Why not? Its a lease.

10

So what if it’s a lease. If the car had been repainted (or it could have been PDR) and the paint is somehow not up to par in 3 years then the lessee with be responsible. Not something I’m willing to take a risk over for a few bucks a month.

OP tell them same deal on a new car without hail damage and see what they say. If they say no we can’t then you know there is something up.

11

I take comments for face value. “Excellent condition” means it presents as from the factory. As such, it can certainly hold up for just a few years.

12

I doubt you would have any issue with the paint, if it was PDR I definitely wouldn’t be concerned. If it was a respray I would assume that the body shop that did the work would guarantee it. Just ask them about it.

13

Oh and if you live in Colorado it’s only a matter of time before you’re driving a car with hail damage/hail repair.

14

You may want to reconsider this car entirely based on this report;

15

Yeah but that is the Quadrifoglio, many more things to break on that one, not that the standard one can’t break too.

Meh. That’s why you lease.

While I mostly agree with that I also think there’s also the inconvenience factor to take into consideration. I live 45 minutes on a good day from the closest AR dealer so that’s 90 minutes round trip, 3 hours if I would have to drop the car off.

18

That is a fair point. I’m only about 20 minutes away so less of an issue for me. I also have a seeing-eye Saab for my Alfa, for when it goes in the shop. :rofl:

19

Unless you decide to sell it before lease end.

The Alfa? Nah. Keeping this one. Also there is no dispo fee on it, so really no cost beyond what I’ve put into it.
