Hi all - kind greetings to all the participants in this online community who have kept each other and observers informed. I've relied greatly on your expertise and guidance in my decision to get a Giulia, and from where to get a Giulia : )
I am also one of the new Giulia owners who took delivery at Glendale over the weekend. Rodrigo and Rick were top notch! Beyond the appealing lease numbers, the depth of information and level of professionalism from Rodrigo during the vehicle demonstration, was just outstanding and set Glendale far and above the completion up and down the California coast! It also far surpassed my experience with unknowedgeable sales staff at Jag dealers across LA and OC last year...
Rodrigo takes great pride in the quality of his work and the customer experience at Glendale, and I was constantly surprised by the wealth of tips around the operation of Giulia. He has studied the enthusiasts forums, and is well apprised on what issues and quirks owners have reported around the initial wave of US deliveries, and is professionalism personified when it came to imparting tips and tricks to improve my ownership experience. I would pay a price premium on my next Alfa just to take delivery from Rodrigo!
As for numbers, I'd hate to get anyone at Glendale in trouble, so please feel free to PM me for the precise monthly #s. I had the pleasure of driving this beauty off the lot:
Alfa white RWD Ti with 19' Performance package, sunroof, static assist, and 8.8 screen
- 24 months
- 12k miles
- $3100 walk off
- High $300's monthly.
I'd recommend anyone on the West Coast looking for a Giulia to work with Rick's team at Glendale. I drove down from the Bay Area, and am very glad to have worked with Rodrigo. The only regret I have was wasting time contacting other dealers and getting a go-around (especially those hoods at Van Nuys), when I should have just straight bee-lined for Rick and Rodrigo at Glendale as soon as I decided to dump my Jag XE v6 for a Giulia. Bravo to the Glendale team!
