Signed this one back on 1/1/2020 but was out of town for a business trip until today - sorry for the delay! New 2019 Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti Sport RWD w/ sport package, driver assist, Ti performance package, Nero Edizione, HK audio, and dual-pane sunroof. Not sure if any incentives were included here outside of $2750 year-end lease cash. Lease forms showed $1100 DAS, but I didn’t have to pay it and could only get the calculator to say the right monthly payment by including this $1100 as an untaxed incentive.
Thats a killer deal at a glance. Alfa dealers seem to love pushing for the 39 month leases and they have much much better pricing. However, be aware you will need to pay for the notorious 30k mile maintenance (~$1500) and will likely need 2 replacement sets of wheels (standard all seasons on Tis seem to last around 15-20k tops). Not sure about brake replacement.
By no means trying to rain on your parade! Its a killer deal for an amazing car. Just wanted to provide a fellow Alfa owner’s foresight Enjoy!!
You don’t “need” to do any maintenance on a lease. You are supposed to. I have never had my maintenance record checked on any leased car. My wife drove a CX-9 for 3 years and didn’t change the oil. Granted she only put on around 15K miles but still. No issues when returned.
This may be off topic so no problem moderators if you dump this…
That’s bad and kind of lazy. Not so much the mileage but 3 years on oil, especially petroleum based will definitely shorten the life of the engine. You couldn’t at least pop through Jiffy Lube once or twice at least? Some unlucky person or family will likely have trouble with a good vehicle because of your disregard.
Agree with @tpgh. I’m not exactly sure of the “legal obligations” involving different leases and makes, I’d be interested to see.
However, when Alfa says 3yr/30k is for sparkplugs, brake/oil fluids, air filters, etc., I’d be surprised if they were okay with you bringing it back without these done. If this is moved, I’d be interested to hear other peoples experiences
Thanks for the info! I did inquire about a 27 but the MF was about 5 times higher (.0002 I think). I had heard of the dreaded 30k maintenance, but didn’t consider the lifetime of the tires until after signing - oops. Got a good place you like to buy tires? Also, I assume they’re going to want the same type (all-season run flats) of tires on at turn it?
Not completely sure. I’m going to do my best to only need 1 set of replacements. My dealer said to call and he will refer me to a local shop and just put a used set on that meets turn-in requirements. Can definitely save us some cash!
I just received my car 2 weeks ago haha. That schedule definitely seems like less than I’ve seen from any other dealership or the owners manual, or from other online Giulia forums.
Didn’t mean to turn this into “my thread”. Just wanted to bring things up to OP and congratulate him
You owe it to OP and others who are trying to seek correct information on this thread to edit your post. Your point is valid but cost is 425$ not 1500$
I agree with you. The oil should have been changed. Happy wife happy life. I tried many times but with the kids it’s tough for her and I don’t have the time to take it. However like I said she hardly drove 15K miles. The car is full synthetic oil. It’s fine. As far as some “unlucky family” getting it, everyone is responsible for their own decisions. If someone buys a car that has a mechanical issue that I happened to lease prior to them that is on them not me. You need to get a car checked out before you buy it.
Is there a reason you couldn’t replace the brake pads yourself? I always did this with my scion when I had it and had to replace brakes every 6 months.
Looks good. I’m looking for something almost identical to this.
What region are you in?
p.s. Anyone know if you can get the 2020 anywhere close to this?
Enjoy!!
Just kept asking to pay less I suppose? I think there was a good bit of year-end lease cash they were able to offer on one of their last 2019s.
