I got a pretty good deal on a leftover Alfa Giulia, which includes the buyout of 3 remaining payments of my current Jeep. I will probably be taking the deal, but on such short notice I did not have the ability to get my car fixed after someone opened a door on me, presumably. Thoughts on the damage?…

2 things to consider who is your bank… and if the damage is not bigger than the size of a credit card

To be clear: current/future lease is FCA, no pull-ahead, they are taking it on trade?

Less than the size of a credit card I’d say. There’s a bit of a dent too.

Future lease is FCA, not sure if it’s Chrysler capital or Ally, but I currently have Chrysler capital.

Im pretty sure you would be fine i have returned lease with dent with scratch as well but it was smaller than credit card and I didn’t get charged

@joeblogs They’re running out of 2019s to deal on unfortunately and I really haven’t seen any 2020s going for these amounts. Have you? I’m looking into a 330i as well but it seems like you get more bang for your buck with the Alfa, not to mention I’ve always liked Alfa Romeo and since I was a teenag…

Personally I’d wait and grab a 330(or a 340 for the payments you’re getting quoted on the alfa) deal and skip the fca experience, alfa might not be around for the lease turn in. You’ll probably be turning it in at a jeep dealer, calling all around town finding out which one will take it

This will be up to whoever is apprising it and how nice they feel. Tough to say exactly how big the damage is, but how far it goes into the paint concerns me. Here is the guidelines from Chrysler: CRACKS, SCRAPES, SCRATCHES, DINGS, DENTS, RUST/CORROSION AND SUB-PAR REPAIRS One or more occurrence…

Personally, I don’t think the damage looks bad. It’s a little deep but seems fairly small. I had way worse damage on my Genesis when I turned it in last year and AIM only charged me $150. Not sure how strict FCA will be, though.

Personally I’d wait it out unless you’re over miles @MJA
If those payments are just rolled in, it’s killing the deal
