Really proud of this one. Worked with Michael at Russell Westbrook Alfa Romeo to get me into the car I wanted at a price that was only in my dreams. This is replacing a 2018 Audi S3 that I’m paying roughly 1.4x in payments.
The dealership is selling cars like crazy right now. They did 30+ sales on Black Friday and the dealership was packed by the time I was getting into the car. Worth noting Ally is their bank, so residual is lower than what you will find researching on Edmunds (through FCA). Also starting today, Ally is now charging an acquisitions fee.
I was looking at Giulia’s a few months ago to replace my bmw & that dealer had a great inventory & was willing to give a good deal. Congrats on the car & the great payment!
There’s $1500 in incentives that I don’t know where they came from. We originally had an understanding that it was $4500 in incentives, but the extra $1500 showed when I got settled with the finance guy.
$1000 - Retail Bonus Cash
$1500 - Season of Speed Bonus Cash
$1000 - Conquest Bonus Offer
$500 - Black Friday Bonus Cash
$500 - Auto Show Bonus Cash
$1500 - ???
Hey man I’m close to signing a lease with same model. Any way you can get info on that extra 1500 incentive? Paperwork due tomorrow or Tuesday but if that’s available then would try to push to add that in. I’m in Texas so not sure if it makes a difference
The S3 is running a JB4 and feels like an absolute animal. That car 0-60 with launch control is 3.9 seconds. The AWD makes the car feel handle like a dream to the point where it can be boring. Overall, I really like the Giulia’s seating position and seats. Feels much more like a drivers car vs a really fast small sedan. Some of the interior bits are not as high quality but I’m a fan of the styling. Once the S3 is out of the driveway and my Phase 1 upgrade arrives, I’m sure I won’t even remember the S3. Also, there’s definitely and extra few inches of legroom which makes fitting the wife and kid in the car way more comfortable. Ultimately ticks the boxes for what I was looking for. Am a fan of the whole DNA thing too as it allows me to eek out that extra gas milage without going through menus.
Launch control with AWD is the best! 3.9 is damn fast!
What is the Phase 1 you are doing on the Alfa?
I haven’t modded any of my cars since my 2008 VW R32 so I didn’t even know that JB4 was an option for Audi haha
There was a brief moment I thought of doing a JB or similar to my 340i but I don’t know if I’d ever mod a lease again since it all has to be taken off before returning.
