Used Alfa Romeo Giulias and Stelvios are Insanely CHEAP Right Now 

Honestly these videos are perfect now with prices dropping more and more

Perfect timing for this video series… we’re about to see a huge collapse in automotive prices this year

I've had an 18 Giulia TI Sport for nearly 5 years and it's been an outrageously good vehicle. Would recommend to anyone that can do their own oil changes and brakes to keep running costs down. The 2.0L is very reliable.

I bought my 2018 giulia ti sport Q2 with 32k miles for 26k 5 months ago. I checked prices for similar models and already seeing some for 24k. Probably should have waited a bit, but they totaled my car and was carless since January when I bought it. No regrets, loving the car so far, just had to change the battery as it was the original and key fob battery too. Hopefully nothing else comes up!

First time I've ever heard of Carmigo, so an ad that was actually informative hehe. I saved your link for when we sell our car👍. Totally agree with the used car market, I'm so glad to see them coming down to earth...these vids should be your new niche for 2023. Tips like digits in the Vin indicating CarPlay or not was totally new to me, love it!

This is a great video. Would love to see this become a series where we keep reviewing the used car market. I’m sure there are several people out there holding out to buy a vehicle and waiting for the right price.

Another solid episode, this is a great video segment! Keep it up with your finds and discussions!

Thanks Matt I really enjoy these car deal videos. Keep up the good work

Love this new format! I’ve been needing a new used car since before Covid. Can’t wait until prices fall more.

Love these vids

Great video Matt. This is a strong value. No car in its class handles as well. Reliability concerns are overblown. The worst aspect is the dealer network. It can be difficult to find a shop to do maintenance on these cars

Loving these new videos!

love these videos, I hope that the Type Rs prices come back to Earth, I'd like to get a FK8 Type R as my next car...just cant justify paying above MSRP and at such a ridiculous amount too.

current alfa giulia 2.0 RWD owner. yes the dealers are few and far between depending on your location which can be an issue. My car has 65k miles with very few issues aside from wear tear items. No, it's not a honda product buy and forget, i agree; but if you're looking for a car like this the driving experience is not something you can get from a japanese brand at anywhere near this price point. Something most people might not know, the extended warranty is fairly inexpensive since Alfa is under stellantis, you can buy an official MOPAR warranty valid at any alfa dealer nationwide for not that much. Mine was around $2k for maxcare mopar coverage until about 100k miles or 3 years from date of purchase.

Another great video! Hope you keep doing the new type used car pricing videos

Best series idea! Good on you broski

I bought that exact blue one! Thank you! Loving it.

Nice video. Prices have continued falling. I bought a 2017 TI Sport Q2 about a month ago that was fully optioned except for the driver assist package for $16.5k + tax/title. It was a car fax one owner but miles on the high side 70k. Still, a crazy deal for that much car. The car itself looked brand new. I would guess you could get one with less that 50k miles for 1500 more or so.

Love these videos Matt!

The car is amazing! I loved it more than anything I've owned and even driven as an employee of a dealership afforded with the ability to drive a lot of cool stuff. However, you HAVE to have the Alfa serviced at the dealer if you need anything outside of basic maintenance items. I had a ton of CEL's and most certainly an issue with multi-air. However, these issues were intermittent. I had diagnostics from multiple Alfa dealers but they wouldn't diagnose without trying to sell me on other things like injector cleaning.... At 35k miles. On a car that only runs premium top-tier fuel... I got a diagnostic from an independent European shop confirming issues with the multi-air and further diagnostics showing misfire codes on an oil change at a CDJR dealer. A call into Alfa corporate led to a lot of back and forth and essentially telling me I need to bring the car to an Alfa dealer that's over a hundred miles away during an active misfire for a rediagnosis and the former diagnostics from the indie shop and the CDJR dealer wouldn't account for anything. However there's a kicker, there's only ONE technician at the dealership that works on Alfas.... So I was looking at waiting months just to get the car looked at and more time weeks to months for parts and labor to be completed. GREAT cars. TERRIBLE support from the brand and the parent company Stellantis. ONLY buy this car if you live near a dealership with more than one tech. There's no logical reason why CDJR techs can't work on these cars with training. Stellanits just doesn't care. I miss my car and its only been a few weeks since I traded it.

love this series

love this new segment!

Wow that's freaking wild. Psh if i'm looking for an additional daily I might consider this. the only thing that comes to my head is the Servicing costs

I had one for 3 years and it has to be one of the best handling car I have ever owned. It was great to drive and I had no issues for the 3 years I had it

As I’m listening I am seeing several CPO Giulia Ti I would totally buy. Honestly though, once that CPO period is up, I would get rid of it faster than hot stink.

Yes these cars drive amazing! It's so good, the driving dynamics

That 2L Turbo is the same in the Jeep Cherokee and it's a ZF8 transmission. It really shouldn't be that bad tbh

Another excellent upload! I've been seeing more news about used car prices dropping and these videos are super helpful. I wonder if Quadrifoglio prices will hold more steady compared to the more standard models but definitely good deals to be had out there.

This is a crazy coincidence that I left a comment on these on the Genesis video from last week. These are fun cars and the Quad is way too expensive to maintain. My friend bought one and had it for a while until he totaled it.

Thank you 🙏🏻 for the shoutout there Matt. I am glad to help and get you looking at the Alfas again for this fun new segment. I have been looking at the newer Jeep Cherokee especially the Trailhawk trim, if I had to get a vehicle and didn’t have enough for a truck 🛻. But looking at the Stelvio prices I may have to test drive one sometime. I watched your review video awhile back but I like to experience things for myself. Would I just take it to a Ram, Dodge, Jeep dealership for repairs? I am going to look into a few more deals, that was a fun Easter egg 🥚 hunt.

Those typically aren't real prices. When you get to the dealer, there's at least another $3k-$5k in dealer fees.

I’ve just paid a deposit on an 18 plate Giulia 2.2 Tecnica. 113k miles, full history, just serviced, new MOT, new tyres for a paltry £10500. Look forward to running this for a couple of years as my daily!

Really good deals actually, car market is gunna have big adjustment soon and I bet these will be even better!

Always overlooked these because of the msrp and perceived quality..but definitely pique my interest with this. Great video, Matt. Appreciate it

Love this discussion, Matt. Anybody (that would be me) owning older bmw’s is thoroughly acquainted with constant issues on a myriad of issues. However, my experience is that the issues are non drivetrain related.

i've got a 2019 giulia ti sport for 2 years now and never had a car that's gotten more stares and compliments. oil changes are a little expensive and you cant get it done at jiffy lube or other chain service places because they don't stock the filter so going to the dealer kinda sucks. luckily it's every 10k for an oil change so it's not that bad. depending on your size i would suggest the red leather sport seats. i'm 5'10 170 and they fit me so snuggly and they look absolutely amazing

The Quadrifoglio is the only Gulia or Stelvio I’m crushing on 😂

Thank you

They are actually offering crazy good deals for brand new as well.

I think Giulias are going to be future tuner cars in a couple years

Lexus GS 350 is another great option. 2013-2015 models are in the low to mid $20k range. If you’re okay with older models, 2007-2011 range also has great deals for $8k-$15k depending on mileage. As long as the maintenance has been kept up, they’ll run forever.

People are catching on! I have an 18 Ti Sport Giulia. Absolutely love it.

Love these cheap car finds

Hey Matt, these are great videos. Please continue to do these my friend! :)

Keep this series of videos coming maybe do the best cars under $15k

Looking for an all weather sedan when my mustang is paid off to keep miles down .. these are looking like a possibility. 👍

😮a used car review I’d love to see would be for the Pontiac G8/G8 GXP, & the GTO (‘04-‘06). Especially w/ MT. Been on the lookout for one but prices can be steep on ‘em if you’re fastidious like me.

What would you pick a 18+Giulia or a 18+ eco boost mustang ?

What car shopping sites do you use? I'm a personal fan of CarGurus.

Keep this series up Matt... I like the idea of a Guilia but wouldn't but one. I would go IS250, Stinger or G70. It's great to have options

I have a 2018 Giulia Quad with over 50k miles and it has been reliable, but not perfect. The 2.0 liter turbo 4s seem to be more reliable. The reputation in the automotive press came from the early 2017 models that had some ECU issues. Unfortunately those are the cars that the journalists received. The later models are much better and the 2017s have received software updates which you are seeing on the CarFax reports. They really are great cars.

I love these cheap car videos. Might explain why I'm seeing so many ARs here in the states now. Seems like a not great idea to be buying European luxury cars but I bought a civic what do I know.

Should do one of these for the volvo v60 wagon!

After owning several Alfas over 4.5 years these are some of the best driving cars for the money. The Qv are 4 door Ferrari in ever aspect of quirks, sound, feel and front end feel however when these cars break no warranty will save anyone from the incompetence of the dealers, technicians and FCA who offer zero support. They break the cars further almost seems like sabotage. My 2018 QV suffered water damage due to a leaking cowl which is a known problem and the car was never the same, stuck weekly, lived on a flatbed all to often and never got a loaner car. Dealers kept my car weeks and up to 3 months doing repairs only to be picked up and towed back hours later. I had to buy OBD Alfa specific diagnostics to scan car every cold or rainy day and almost got killed Least 50 times having the car shut off on highway speeds. As much as I loved the car I simply could not take the stress and fear owning the car and traded it on a new M3. Funny part of the story is the BMW dealer wholesaled my Alfa to one of the incompetent Alfa dealers who serviced the car. The Alfa GM called me to ask if the car they bought was mine and when I said yes they immediately removed it from their website and said they would not retail my car due to liability. They are special cars but the lack of factory support and some of the worst dealers in the world are destroying this legendary brand. Also those extended warranty from Mopar are not cheap and every time you use the warranty there is a $200 or greater deductible that must be paid. Even though I went through hell i still may consider another in the future but not to daily drive. i receive emails every single day if other frustrated Alfa owners complaining and switching brands just for service issues, i do not see Alfa Romeo having a lasting future in the USA much longer.

Giulia gets great fuel economy for a 5sec car. Very good aero / low air drag.

I had a 2017 Giulia and it was Disaster and I love European cars. Had key reading issues, rapid tire wear, several check engine lights, brake wrapping rotors. Total breakdown and was in rental for months till lease ended. Such a nice driving and best looking car I have owned. Maybe the later models are better but beware that you cannot diy this car as the scanners don’t work on them past 2019 model year.

Good video but IMO it makes sense why these 5+ year old 4 cylinder Italian cars are going for cheap lol

Don't get the first year of guilia by 2018 2019 they fixed a lot of the issues with the electrics. You can still find them for under 20 gs :)

I've also talked to most guilia and stelvio owners and they have over 50k miles, no issues.. I seen some on Turo that have passed 40k and no creaks no issues. Only downside is the seats are pretty uncomfortable and hard..not at all luxury but the handling is the best ever..

I drove one of these before, and for some reason it wasn't that fun for me and the base engine wasn't that exciting. Maybe my experience was skewed since I daily drove a miata haha though I would still avoid the lemon law cars.

'17 Ti, 62K nothing other than gas, oil, and a spark plug change. The 2.0l is similar to the 4-cyl. in 400,000 Jeeps sold every year. When I did the spark plug change, I called a Dodge dealer and got them for $12 each. You have to use really good oil (Mobil 1 ESP, or Pennzoil Euro LX), but the filter is cheap and its easy to do the service yourself. The trans is ZF---best in the world. All that "Italian cars are "unreliable" is FUD from the 1970s.

Can you do a review of the price drops for the Toyota Supras .

I just purchased one in November of 2022 and paid 29K for it! Yikes! (One owner with Sport Package with brown leather seats and only14k miles.) Yeah a lot of money considering current pricing but I also got 18K for a trade in that I most likely would only get 14 -15K in current environment. So it kinda breaks even? LOL Nevertheless, I'm extremely happy with the car thus far, zero issues and whoa what a great driving machine!

Matt, I dig this approach. It’s good to see you putting out content. I agree that the Alfas are a great value. My dad sold his 14k mile 2016 Scion iA last year for $15k. An Alfa by comparison for nearly the same money is que a draw.

I've had my Giulia since July of 21. I bought my 18 Sport Q4 with 59k on the clock. Of course I got an extended warranty. I've put 35k on the clock, and in my ownership I've replaced the turbo, radiator, ECM, electronic shifter, and the battery. Never left me stranded. Daily driven four hundred miles a week.

Ask Auto Fanatic about his Alfas. He loved them, until he didn't! They are sharp looking vehicles, but certainly not a cheap one to own as a second or third owner after the warranty.

The best driving luxury sedan and luxury suv ever made imo.

I’m purchasing one at the end of summer. I have my X5 E70 sport 4.8i needs fixing lol. Rear differential. Then selling it. I’m done with BMW.

I’d love to see a video like this for Volvo V60 wagons

Volvos too !!

If you had a choice of a used Honda Accord coupe 2010, Lexus IS250 AWD, Infiniti g37 coupe AWD or the Alfa Giulia 2017 AWD, which would be your choice in order?

Guy I dont know your background, but the GIULIA has been bulleet proof...probably the best ABSOLUTELY new car build in the last 40 years. FORD, GM, BMW. AUDI MAZDA and HONDA have all major engineering issues with their new cars....from OIL BURNING MONSTERS to exploding engines and trannys! Ive had a 2017 GIULIA TI Q4 with 65000 miles and I beat the shit out of it and just keeps saying GIMME MORE! bullet proof and I average 33MPG on the highway for trips over 350 miles! anyway, the less people know the better...the brand will survive and has survived with or without AMERICAN support... the less the bettter and that makes it more exclusive! plus they have the lowest operating costs of anything in its class...I still am on my original BREMBO brakes! try that with a BMW, FORD, GM or AUDI!

I grew up with Italian cars all around. The reason these 2017s go for so little is because after 5 years the problems start hard. You better be a good mechanic because no one will service them. I think I would rather have a bicycle.

How about the Giulia quadrifoglio are there many problems with those?

You got Walter Whites hat over there Matt?

I just realized, is that THE 2013 Chevy Malibu review hat hanging??

Dealers can’t sell these. A Volvo dealer I work a side hustle at had one of each and they both sat for 3-4 months before they gave up and wholesaled them.

I will wait for italian Jnk to drop to 10k lol. Then i will snag one

I wouldn't mind trading in my 2020 Stinger GT for a Quadrifoglio.

Pretty much the same for similar year 3.6 Challengers.

Avoid the first model year, especially with a build date of 2016, they had a ton of problems. I Lemon-lawed mine. 😕

When are we going to get a review with Matt in a Hat?! (I see them in the background hanging)

The only downside of Alfa is the unpredictable reliability, plus non-existing dealerships! In North Texas there are only 3 Alfa dealerships, which is less than Mitsubishi…

No matter how many good reliability reports there are id still get a 3rd party warranty for good measure

I swear prices went up since this video lol

No one wants to repair them that’s the issue no one wants to service them

Seven/eight year-old vehicles do drop in price, so why is anyone surprised?

But these arent the 500 horsepower quadri models right?

BMW current reliability ratings are extremely high, ranked 3rd by consumer reports. I can’t see why someone would want a gulia over a 230 or 330i other than getting a good deal on a used model.

It is not a bargain if the car is a lemon and needs maintenance more than you can drive it

🔥🔥🔥

Are you ok with having a “little”more RISK? 😂 I get you I really do, I agree as well. However IF I’m buying a Giulia it will most likely be a garage queen and only come out in the summer months.

Cool looking cars, fun to drive, not reliable long term, lease it for 2 years and find something else, i see comments like "ive had mine for 4 years with no issues, super reliable" like nah fam you cant guage reliability in a 5 year span, give it a decade, one of my vehicles is an '03 toyota camry, now thats a fuckin reliable car lol 20 years old, 270k miles on her, only ever done basic stuff for maintaining a vehicle and have had zero issues, planning to either run her into thw ground or hit that half a millie mark on the odometer

My buddy just traded his wife's Stevio in for another one and then found out the Turbo was shot on the old one, he's friends with the SA, so that's how he found out. Another buddy has one now and it gets that light on the dash that's a lightning bolt, goes into limpmode and the batteries in these things SUCK. A RU-vid guy I follow, Auto-Fanatic, had a Guilia QV and it left him on the side of the road one too many times, sold it and bought a M3 right away! Just sayin'🤔

I like these new format videos but I'll pass on the fiats.. uh.. alfas

Buyers will find out real quick why these Alfas are so cheap. 🤭

Buy it from Carmax with extended warranty!

They are ok, but the leases aren’t that great.

I have one best car ever owned if you are looking BUY ONE.

K swap it
