    Just picked up a high mileage 2017 QV 3 months ago... carbon sport seats and CCBs... 1 owner, fully serviced its entire ownership. Had serviced at the dealership here in Pa and given a perfect bill of health!!! Dont be afraid to purchase one of these with miles! They're the performance bargain of the decade!

    I know you are trying to stay on a budget, but honestly, in 2020 Alfa Romeo made so many adjustments to the Giulia, Software and Hardware, resolving pretty much all of the original issues older models had... To get a Quad could be worthy a bit more of a sacrifice (economically) and get at least a MY 2020

    • @RonsRides
      @RonsRides  10 днів тому +3

      That’s a good point, 2020 was a big adjustment for the QV, maybe if I can save a little more a 2020 may be worth it!?

      If you drive a 2020 and a 2019 back to back you will prefer the handling and raw sound of the 2019. All the changes to suspension and interior made it a less desirable car in my opinion.

    The engine doesn’t have to be dropped to replace the accessory belt, which is supposed to be replaced every 4 years or 36k miles. Also, carbon mirror caps weren’t standard, they were always an optional component.

      Man that belt job being $2k when I worked at the dealer I thought it was such a laborious job because of that.

      @@RonsRides I’ve watched the video a few times and I’ve zoomed in on the mirrors. From what I’m seeing, those are aftermarket mirror caps, not OEM. The carbon weave is “wrong”. They would definitely be mentioned under “standard equipment” on the window sticker.

      @@RonsRides During the last year I owned my 2018 I had an oil change and the mechanic brought to my attention a small oil leak that was going to cost over $10,000 to repair out of warranty. Of course 95% of this was labor cost. I never saw an oil leak in my garage, but the mechanic said I would not know because of the under body tray in place. Maybe to protect yourself, buy a warranty to cover you at least three years. You don’t know what is lurking on the car right now. Maybe this is why the original owner traded it in. My car hobby has burned me a few times and I have learned to be very cautious.
