Welcome, I hope you pick it up! The Giulia is an incredible, emotional machine, there is nothing quite like it!

Reliability is fine, MY19 and later are no less reliable than other luxury brands, just make sure to take care of her and follow the normal maintenance guidelines. I've not had any issues with my MY21 at all.

I don't have info on parts but typically companies will produce parts for years after end of production, I'd say approximately for one auto gen. Others on here will likely have a better idea about it than me.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe manufacturers are required to provide replacement parts for 10 years after vehicle production ends. But many parts will be available even longer thanks to such as Alfissimo, Centerline and other sources. I had a 1994 164 and was able to find new parts up till 2019 when it was totaled.

 

Parts are available for Model Ts.

 

😅😅
That was the exact vehicle I searched for after reading this thread!

As cars age, the support morphs, but generally you can find most items. It might take a little more time, however.

 

Should mention here too that Mazda still makes OEM parts for the RX-7 due to the enthusiast community, and I believe Audi has an OEM parts program for it's classic cars as well! Hopefully Alfa does the same.

 

I have Google'ing the subject and there is no clear or official information about for how long the manufactures are required by law to produce spare parts for their vehicles after they discontinued them. There is the myth that the manufactures are required by law to produce parts for 10 years after discontinuation of the car. I was not able to find the official law. On the other hand, there is information in Google about law requirements to produce parts while the car is in original manufacturing warranty (3-5 years). If someone find the specific law, please share it. One thing is a fact. I see 40-50 years old Alfa Romeo's around and they are operating very well.

 

I have a 2022, so far so good. Had one CEL which was actually just telling me to get a software update (could just say that instead of throwing an O2 sensor code). I'm just under 1,500 miles so I haven't been able to really open her up. A few things could be better, but overall I really like the car. Def the best handling car I've owned and the suspension, even w/o Active Suspension, is great in twisties and yet compliant over bad roads.

I wouldn't worry about parts shortages. The service departments will rely on old ICE cars for $ as EVs has nearly zero maintenance. Plus the parts makers, etc, will want to stay in business to support all of the existing cars on the road.
