I told people that asked my advice that the stelvio and tundra were killer deals. Some listened and bought them last week, others hesitated and are missing out now. I don’t like to pressure people, that’s what dealers do. But when your getting a car under the .80% mark you need to jump on it.
Unless Alfa adds an extra $2000 of bonus cash. That 400 Alfa is in the 500/mo range today…
From my experience, some people chase “the best” deal for so long that it ends up biting them.
I tell people $25/mo is one lunch. Don’t lose the car you love and want over lunch…
You eat pretty well.
How much is dinner if lunch is $25?
Maybe he means lunch for a family of 5.
Sometimes people compare to a cup of coffee at Starbucks. However, what if I don’t drink Starbucks and think Columbian coffee from Folgers is 100x better and cheaper?
Aww. You must eat alone a lot…
I just pack + save myself $22/day. Not all of us are big ballin’
What changed? I was never really looking at Alfa, but basically, you’re saying, at this point, the deals are significantly worse for this month?
Residual went from 60 to 56 on 24/12 lease
You have numbers for the Giulia?
I didn’t even look. The dealer said they lost a few % and already were leasing bad last month. I think Alfa is out for now unless they drop prices another 3-4%
Happens all the time. Unfortunately the auto market is something where its hard to trust someone, thanks to ancient dealer tactics which are still alive today.
I had a guy leave a deal for 9 bucks on and encore thinking it will be better next month only to never being able to get it any more.
And people on the forums want the best price the last guy got. They passed on a 400/mo stelvio bc someone got it for 380. No stelvio for you…I don’t think Alfa will ever get back into the 300s unless they will do 22% off msrp or come up with another $2500 in lease cash
Who knows what happens when 2019s hit the ground and they still have 2018s sitting at the ports. I do think its going to be dry for a little while, but I’d be shocked if it doesn’t come back around.
Yeah I guess it all depends on inventory. Since they sold a lot last month, there will be more on the road. Which means more presence and people wanting to get one. Same thing happened with the q50 3-4 years ago. They were giving them away to get market share then upped the price. I hope they do drop back down, I had 5 sold for this week, and now no one that knew they were once 400/mo will pay 500/mo
Packing lunch is underrated. I saved so much money bringing lunches to school/work over the past few years. It adds up.
I WFH - everyday is a packing lunch day whether I like it or not…saves a bundle.
What’s the residual for 36/12 lease?
perhaps a new topic, what do people pack for lunch? My wife cooks almost every other day, mostly eastern european or Italian cuisine, so that’s easy. Breakfast is tougher, so I do a multigrain bars or bagels.
