The veloce takes it up to 280bhp but you would always know that you should have got the quadrifoglio.

A bloke at work has a Veloce. Red with tan leather. It's lovely and not slow. Given that the last Alfa he had (a 159) closed the M60 for 4 hours by spontaneously combusting, I think he's very brave.

Is the Aldo a new shoe-shaped version?
Re: Aldo Guilia 2.0L £299/297pcm
I don't think I'd have a problem with the power, the normal Guilias look a bit doughy to me though.

Re: Aldo Guilia 2.0L £299/297pcm
I was very close to buying a Veloce and going back to one car, but they're still in the dangerous depreciation age. Hopefully in a few years time the Quadrifoglioioio will be more in my price range.
That being said, a Quad out of warranty, with Alfa costs? Hmm.

They've lost 33% in a year so I'm expecting them to be down to 20k in 2020. I'm also expecting running costs to be eye watering.Matty wrote: ↑Tue Oct 16, 2018 1:12 pm I was very close to buying a Veloce and going back to one car, but they're still in the dangerous depreciation age.

Nonsense, a highly tuned Alfa with carbon bits? I'm sure it'll be super reasonable to repair. Warranty schmarranty.Jimmy Choo wrote: ↑Tue Oct 16, 2018 3:57 pmThey've lost 33% in a year so I'm expecting them to be down to 20k in 2020.

I always think of Ducatis as lovely bikes for other people to own.
It's similar for Alfas, except I think of them as distinctly average cars - for other people to own

My mate showed up for a coffee last week on a red Ducati Supersport S. It looked lovely, but I’m obviously a tart for red Italian shizzle.
The Alfa will probably be the first car with carbonfibre/aluminium parts that suffer from rust.

Alfa have been "not as good as we hoped" since... the 1950s? I think we need to lower our collective expectations.

I'd disagree. Alfa need to raise their game to try and meet people's expectations. Undoubtedly a good drive but everything else is sadly lacking against Audi, BMW & Mercedes.Jimmy Choo wrote: ↑Tue Oct 16, 2018 5:45 pm Alfa have been "not as good as we hoped" since... the 1950s?

Are quadrafanglios depreciating wildly or still too new?

They seem to be distressingly expensive, still.

No, it's all nonsense. I do believe you either "get" them or you don't, though.
Dropping to low 40's now. Dealers are giving really shitty p/x values (according to PH), and many seem to hang around. I think they do have a 5 year warranty now? So that may help residuals, as I expect otherwise they'd drop off a cliff once the warranty is up.
