Alfa Romeo Giulietta

[Ntbg3933]

Hello! :)

 

Honestly, i dont know.. Just got it for 5 days.

 

Looking to discover it more..

 

Currently i have the following problems:

 

1. rattling passenger seat

2. shaking steer during high speed (suspect high speed rotation)

 

I can't reach the paper fuel consumption stated though..

 

Other than that, i am quite happy for the car! :)

 

 

Hi Bro,

 

How is this car maintenance ?

Any sudden breakdown and how years with you already ?

 

I love the shape.

For the following issues

 

1) FC issues

 

 

2) cannot overtake ROC

 

 

Please check for error between steering wheel and driver's seat.

 

 

For juddering

 

1) check for balancing,

2) dented rims (highly likely)

3) worn wishbones/mounts (but you will hear klonking sounds over humps or turning if this is the issue)

 

For Exhaust

 

You want

 

A) bassy

B) screamy

C) Fast... don't care what it sounds like

D) Maserati-ish burble

 

 

Then add

Option

1) Approved

2) Not approbe

 

 

Then check bank balance...... ........

 

 

 

LOL! Kidding ok bro, all in good fun.

 

Bring your car down this Sunday 4pm at Kallang. We are having a Serpent's Gathering.

 

 

Cheers

For Rattling,

 

Its a Serpent, please check if breed is Rattlesnake.

 

If not, you have a loose seat, bolt it down well, and/or your springs in the seat are not seated well...

 

Might need to open up to sort it out....

Bro

Brand new

Went to test drive the Giulietta and found it rather engaging. My wife likes it.

The Sales person more more interested in leasing it to me than selling.

 

Did some numbers and the $1,699 (before gst) seems decent. Anyone took up this offer?

 

[Saabretooth]

They probably make more money through the leasing business than through sales.. its the way the business is being set up

[Theredstar]

How many years contract?

 

Leasing Got option to purchase after that bo?

[Kangadrool]

It means it costs $203,880 + Parf rebates for 10 year duration or about $21K per year "depreciation".

 

This excludes fuel.

5 years contract at $1,818 inclusive gst.

Yes, they will sell to you what highest used car dealer quote to them.

 

Am seriously considering. If the insurance terms are acceptable.

yup. And it is better than the C&C Leasing.

Imagine - $1,818 for Giulietta (costs $140,000) vs $1,870 for basic K3 (costs $103,000)

I think road tax and insurance is borne by them.

I think road tax and insurance is borne by them.

it is, but the insurance excess is excessive. $3,000 basic. My current one is only $1,000

[Saabretooth]

I believe it's to encourage much much safer driving and much lower premiums for them.

Unless the cost is passed on to the customer.

although that is true, they are just trying to keep their insurance low. If i add my young driver but not named, the excess if the driver gets into an accident is at least $8k.

Updates on my Giulietta!

 

Loving this lady more and more.

 

- Done some changes to the Exhaust and Tuning.

- Getting use to the gear box

- Dechrome my front grille!

- Enhanced the paint effect

 

Loving the lady, grateful at my choice to buy it!
