@gregghia congrats, beautiful ride! Man, all you East Coasters are crushing the Stelvio deals. It’s crappy here in the PnW, they just won’t budge below a certain point. I kept telling the two local dealers with MSRP 55-56k 2019’s that I would take one for about a 46k selling price, they won’t do it.
Guess I’ll wait until they (hopefully) get more desperate in coming months.
enjoy your ride!
Great looking car @gregghia ! It’s also nice to hear about a smooth and non-contentious transaction…it’s nice when everything works out comfortably✔️
@Mfizzy What about doing the deal remote and then have them put it on a truck and ship it to you? Think cost is around $600-$800 but for the payment you can achieve if you are doing say a 36 month lease, might be worth the extra cost.
From what I understand you can drop your lease off at any approved Alfa dealership in the country so you wouldn’t have to worry about the back end of the lease.
Why are you guys paying 475 for an outdated leftover whose dealers are steadily going out of business? Read about the travails of people who want to return their current leases.
@vhooloo don’t poop on the parade, lol. I/we are happy with the payment, the deal, the car and the brand. I love that leasehackr is around as it has really helped me not get taken advantage of but at the same time if you analyze things to much in life, you will never execute.
If you know that model there is irrelevant change between the 19 and the 20 so if someone wants a new one and the timing is right why not go get a leftover for a hell of a deal and live life.
When you mention leftovers - what in that should one be concerned about? The car runs great, no flat spots on the tires, exterior is solid. I really don’t care the car was on a lot or a storage unit for months.
When you mention the travails - don’t know what your are referring too - have a hyperlink to something tangible so I can read? Maybe use as ammo later if it’s a known issue.
In the end I didn’t “stick it to the dealer” but I got what I wanted at a price point I am more than happy with. In fact I created a great relationship with two guys there already - may or may not pay off in the future but if I had haggle and beaten them up, would not have had the same outcome.
Worst case and I mean worst case scenario if the unit sucks and Alfa goes out of business - I would go drop the Stelvio off at the dealers front door, through the keys on their roof, walk away and stop paying. I could care a less about a ding on my credit. Ain’t gonna let that impact my sanity.
Next time you come in with a stick and move comment please offer some value.
There was actually quite a big improvement to the interior and driver-assistance systems for MY2020.
That’s the point. If the dealer is out of business in USA, you might need to drop off the Alfa to the mothership in Italy?
Congrats, don’t sweat. Enjoy the nero. Looks great by the way!
On second thoughts, wasn’t Nero the Roman emperor who played the harp while Rome burned? And Alfa calls their car Nero package? Rofl!!!
Is Alfa planning on setting fire to their returned Stelvios?
Really doubt US Attorney’s office would allow that… I’d be down for a free overseas lease return though.
And with a 24 month RV in the 40s, might be cheaper, see Ft Meyers parking lots for reference 
.
Nobody has ever said my comments don’t offer value. I am to this forum what Trump is to Twitter.
Alfa might need the Mussolini package to get out of this one.
See his Corona Virus speacials post for more examples.
I REALLY hope there aren’t any College Board social media reviewers on this forum.
@vhooloo you really hate Italian cars don’t you. Why do you take it so personally. Since you are such an avid Leasehackr contributor and you own the forum, I suppose that does give you the right to crap on people and then rant about it.
Again thanks for pointing out one person that is having lease return issues, didn’t know that. The root of pointless back and fourth is your initial comment had zero empathy, you just came in to make people feel stupid for their choice. Have fun going on and on about it but it just reflects on who you are.
The fact that two other people got value out of my sharing this intel and using that to get deals is enough to know that posting my info (very humbly) helped others out.
Hope you don’t continue to troll and use your vast forum prowess to help others.
The Giulia Quad is an M3 slayer, Vhooloo just got the wrong car! Thats why he is a little bitter.
Thanks to you the dealer sold 10 units and there out of 2019s. The haters will hate
If you look more than skin deep on the Stelvio and Guilia, you’ll find that there’s a bit of Ferrari design and a whole slew of FCA underpinnings. I think they only let the Italian folks at the exterior design in general (outside of assembly) but there are a few aspects where you look at the Alfa and struggle to guess what they were thinking. On the plus side, many of those quirks were ironed out between 2017-2019 and the 2020s took care of the rest.
As for the marketing - well, “could be better” would probably be the rating. People that drive the Alfa’s do like them - it’s getting folks through the door that is the problem as there is poor brand awareness. Alfa didn’t help their cause with the 2018 MY that had a mix of 2017 and 2018 hardware (and dealers thought it was all 2018 HW).
Thanks to @gregghia - I hadn’t found a dealer that had many 2019s and they had something that would work and were great to deal with (SIGNED: 2019 Stelvio Sport - 24m/10k, 53k $800 DAS and $378/mo)
Cheers,
John
This intel has been around here for years. Criswell is known for giving good deals. Just search. I thought it was them when you mentioned MD dealer
What is your point, that new deals shouldn’t be posted? I believe all data points are valuable, especially recent ones.
My point is that search also works. And his “intel” is an open secret. Nice of him sharing, too
I got an X6, so I am more than a little bitter. Apparently the hatch has started leaking.
Should have gotten a stelvio!
Recent posts confirm a 450 payment on a 2019 was not a good move
