Deal Check: 2019 Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti Sport AWD

Once again people trashing the deal but don’t do the math! The residuals on these are 45% so when the sticker is 6k more than the deal they’re comparing it to that equals almost another 135 or so in monthly payments. So in short, this is not a “terrible” deal. It’s totally comparable to other deals listed but with more options so more cost. Better discount than the other examples (14.5% off before incentives) even. You’re getting a great discount, 15k miles, and a totally optioned out car. You might not qualify for as many incentives or they aren’t offering as much this month.

I completely disagree.

First, $633 a month for Giulia, even one that is fully optioned, is an objectively bad price. That’s a total of $24,690 over 39 months ($560*39+$2850).

A two-second internet search shows a base Giulia “advertising” leases $359 a month with $3880 DAS, or a total of $17,881 over 39 months.

Now, the “ad” is assuredly a crap deal as well , but even assuming it does not account for taxes, title, etc., or hidden fees, it’s still several thousand dollars cheaper. Even assuming for the sake of argument that the options are worth the extra thousands out of your pocket - which I wouldn’t - OP’s offer is no better than the same crap deal as advertised, and likely worse.

Second, the OP’s combination of an awful RV and an unknown MF almost guarantees him an insane payment - particularly in comparison to what else you can get for your money in the present market. There are MUCH nicer cars to be had for an effective $633 a month than the Giulia.
