[Ono'rach]

Thanks for all the info posted in this thread!

I drive past an Alfa dealership everyday, and I've been forcing myself to not even stop and look...

But you've convinced me, I'm going to go have a look at one asap!

I'll post my impressions when I can!

Going to check out the Giulietta some more on Saturday and will in most likelyhood sign an offer if the waiting list is 6 months.
Now...8C Red or the grey?

Hi guys - I am trying to finalise a price for my car and the dealer has added two things which I don’t agree with: He told me the white is R1250 (that's fine) but on the invoice he listed "Ghiaccio white" R1250 and then a few rows down, "Extra series pastel" for R1250. Surely this isnt correct?

The other thing, I added the BOSE sound system and he phoned to say the BOSE isn’t a standalone system and I need to get the RDS radio with CD/Mp3 + speakers + dual antenna because "the BOSE is an add on, not a standalone system". Is this correct?

Appreciate your advice.

Query it. It might be as simple as a mistaken double charge for the colour.

Quite possible, but your salesperson should've told you about this beforehand. The standard head-units in many cars aren't compatible with multi-speaker and -amplifier setups. What's the difference in price? About R2k?

 

[IzZzy]

Difference in price is that I have to pay for the RDS radio with CD/Mp3 + speakers + dual antenna at a cost of R4250 in addition to the price of the BOSE system.
The BOSE description says "BOSE hi-fi system with CD/mp3 + 10 speakers + dual tuner + dual antenna" and costs R8000.

I fail to see how BOSE is only an add-on?

EDIT: Okay I phoned Alfa West Rand and they confirmed that the BOSE system is standalone and you do -not- need to buy the previous one.
I feel Arnold Chatz is just trying to rip me off... I have to get my car valued today so what do I tell them?

Probably an unclear description, but it matches with the European car configurator (in Italian) - the moment you select the BOSE option at €500 it forces you to add "Auto radio CD/MP3 doppio antenna" at a further €120...

edit

Where are you getting your prices from? I don't see an online pricelist on Alfa's local website at all... and the descriptions you give do sound dodgy, as if it should include the radio...

 

[IzZzy]

The dealer gave me their price list and what extras come as standard on the QV.

Edit - found a similar one on the net: http://www.alfaromeo.co.za/models/alfa_romeo_pricelist.pdf

It just isn't clear one way or the other - unlike the Italian site above the UK pricelists specify a single price of £820 for the BOSE audio system, but with two option codes implying two components...

 

[IzZzy]

I accept your point, but is it fair to say that the consumer, me, should not be at fault for the ambiguity?

 

[satanboy]

Ah I just can't see myself driving any Renault or Ford - no appeal to me whatsoever. The alfa (and the Honda cr-z) appeal to me on a primordial level

Honda CR-Z, now ya talking. A beaut.

I wouldn't go for red, black rather.
