not reliable??? ZF transmission with a Ferrari motor that sounds very reliable to me
That labor is a steal. BMW quoted me $1000 in labor for a job I did myself in 5min.
Can’t tell you how many thousands I’ve saved by doing maintenance myself on my BMW
Good to see someone who actually drives/enjoys their car vs. another garage queen.
Ron, you are awesome. Thank you for being so real. You are giving me the courage to buy a Quadrifoglio.
"you people" got me 🤣
I drove this car for a test drive it was insane.
Great Job Rons!!!!!!!
9:03 looks to be an overall 26/27 mpg recorded. Pretty go for such performance numbers !
Gteat video Ron love going back on your videos, it would be good to see the work shop in action just to see how different it is here in the UK 🇬🇧
Great walk through the car Ron. Seems like it has held up really well for 50k miles - obviously it’s been well cared for by the owner. I wasn’t shocked at the price for the service or the tires (having had 4 BMW’s in our household I’m pretty used to these prices). At some point, I may try oil and filter changes myself on my 2.0 Giulia. Not the easiest car to work on but not really hard either.
Thanks Matyrn and yes for 50k miles its help up quite well. Hope I can keep my car looking this good for THAT long.
What kind /brand of oil & filter did you use on your Giulia 2.0?
I am thinking about doing it myself. Thanks
@@sahersesostris8332
I took it to the dealer in the end as i didnt want to fuss with removing the large cover under the engine to access the oil drain plug:
You can get the oil filter that they used from MOPAR here: www.moparonlineparts.com/sku/4892339ab.html
Oil Filter is p/n 4892339-AB Cost is only $8.53 in US Dollars
Oil needs to be 0W30 API SN PLUS rated. For top-up I used: Selenia Digitek Pure Energy - engine oil (SAE 0W-30 fully synthetic). Ordered it on-line as no store near me has this. I understand that Mobil-1 might have something that meets this spec but I have not found it.
Martyn H Thank you so much that helps a lot .👍👍
my fav car..i cant afford! My fav clip from a movie..'you people'
great video.
$1,512 for four tires, balancing, and alignment is fair. $432 for an oil change is way overprice. No matter how many filters you change
Non sono tutti pezzenti come te
Screw this. DIY man.
If you are broke, drive a Toyota. Costs nothing to run.
@Oliver
You missed the 2000$ for a belt replacement.
Costs 1'200 for the RCF.
It just keeps getting worst. 😀
Worth It. Totally.
Hi Ron great video:-):-):-). Please keep us updated on this Alfa on how much it cost for maintaince as the car gets up there in milage. I am interested in purchaseing one myslf. And also can you mention how reliable this Alfa is. Thx just subscribed and liked
Thanks Michael and im gonna stay close to this Giliua QV as its probably one of the highest miled QV's out there. SO im curious myself. Thanks for the sub! Hope you enjoy the content.
There are actually special brushes for alcantara that keep them looking new. Some people even just use a toothbrush.
Thats something I would have never thought of, thank you for sharing!
Hello Ron. How much is the average yearly maintenance?
that " you people" edit is soooo good! LOL
Lmao after I said it I realized how ridiculous I sounded
hahah Tropic Thunder is one of my favorite movies!
That edit did cut out my favorite part when Lincoln Osiris responds "Huhh???? " after the other guy asks him "What do YOU mean, you people?"😂😂😂
That alcantara steering wheel wear is why some people use fingerless driving gloves
It sure is, its just so hot in Florida for any type of glove wearing. Sucks...
I wish I wear some damn gloves for driving! F Dat Noise!
Yes I do. Wheel shows zero wear.
how reliable are the new QV's?
Kudos on the Tropic Thunder nod!
Pirelli tires on my Giulia, not the Quad just the Giulia 26,000 miles 8 tires I've been through. Screw Pirelli. I am putting anything else this time. This time is this week 4 more so now I am on 12 tires in 26,000 miles. My wife drove if for 2 years now my daughter has it. This was not driven like a race car either. But I absolutely love the car. This is the most fun car to drive you will drive period.
So no reliability issues?
Well done man! Instead of another useless test on this beautiful car a very useful check post 50k miles to see if quality can keep up with other premium manufacturers
Thank you! Trying to be a more informative channel if anything. Glad you liked it.
Love it.
Thank you!
What's the mileage now? Has the owner sold it?
I can do all that myself. Don’t need a book to change filters and oil.
Is this the same car which you did the 30,000 mile video on a while back? If so, wow! The owner really uses it to the max!
I have a question though, how well did the electronics hold up at that mileage? Alfas of the past we’re plagued by electrical issues once you put miles on them...
Yup this is that same Giulia QV! Umm yeah...lets just say the electronics in Alfa's need a little work to say the least.
Hi Rons
Iam thinking to get alfa Ti q4
Is it reliable for say three years!?
I drive c class 300 and two weekend cars miata 2017 and Fiata 2018.
why 2 of the same car essentially
Awesome spec! But I have never seen an ugly one and never will!
I agree, we'll never see one in existence!
Someone needs to stop kicking the door open.. LOL
That maintenance putting the tires in there that doesn't sound bad at all that price also with the belts you're saying need to be changed at some point I don't think that's that much either with this intricate machine over that amount of miles so it's not bad at all
oil change on Giulia Quadrifoglio is straightforward job.
That's totally a DIY job. I will leave the belt change to the pros.
AL-CAAN-TARA...jeez lol
Lol man im trying but all of these Italian products are hard to remember/pronounce every time
Lets hear you say it.
Wait a minute, that's a 2017, with 50,000 miles. Wow. Is this person using the alfa for uber and/or lyft?
Lmao right?!
I know right it's almost like they used a car for the main purpose of getting a car
At least it seems reliable ,and that's the most important thing.
Probably a daily driver. I put 80k a year on my vehicle for work. I travel across the Midwest to different facilities.
Amazed the US dealers never mention to change the transmission oil at this mileage. Also, the brake fluid might survive until 100K. but if its humid out there, it lasts much less.
I think in most automobiles you would change the tran fluid at 50k but yeah you're right, odd. Maybe I missed it in his previous service.
Nice of you to reply. Appreciate your acknowledgement. The ZF transmissions have 40K intervals. I am cynical towards certain dealerships, they let the transmission fail due to lack of transmission fluid changes either to make more money from the customer or due to complete ignorance in proper servicing.
Those rims are toast
If you can afford to buy the car...you can offord to pay these prices...sadly I can't and that service alone is more than my step daughters entire car 🤣...serious car! I'm guessing those brakes and pads are a similar price to the tires 🤯...
Wow, $430 is pricey for oil change and cabin filter. Is it cheaper for a regular Giulia or the same cost as the Quadrifoglio?
Cheaper for the regular Giulia. I did a couple of vids on those service costs as well.
Rons Rides
Don’t they use the same oil and filters?
Interesting. When serpentine belts came on the scene I know the top end Goodyear belts could last 100k miles and this was back in the late 80's.
The belt he is talking about is behind the rear engine cover.
You have to split the engine from the transmission, remove the rear engine timing cover. Replace guides, tensioner, belt.
No one NEEDS pirellis ,there are plenty of comparable tires at half the price. Get the TI. U save 20 grand. It’s only one second slower and the fuel ,insurance and maintenance is less
Great video! Comparing to german counterparts what would you say about reliability/cost of ownership? Is it a classic alfa money draining high depreciating piece of crap or have they gotten better?
Edit: and what would you think the price of this car with this mileage would be?
Lol well Alfa has def gotten MUCH better than their reputation proceeds them. But they are NOT perfect and still have some tweaks to do before they get it right. At this milage. You're looking at probably low $50's.
@@RonsRides lol these things have crashed so hard in price since last year 50k would be overpaying for one with only a few thousand miles now haha
Wait a minute. You said at the beginning the timing belts were supposed to be changed but then said nothing about it on the bill. The tires were the majority of the service cost. What's up with that. Costs about 10 grand to do the belts on a Ferrari.
The miracle is that it made it to 50,000 without a blown engine not cost
this car not unreliable lol
Do you have to take it to official alfa romeo dealer for services or would a fiat Chrysler dealer work. Want one but no alfa dealer within 3 hours, that's a deal breaker.
I only do the service that is required in the owner's manual, not what the dealer wants. If the dealer wants x done, they can pay to get it done, lol.
The owner needs to be using a leather conditioner like nextzett lederpflege.
The leather in my 50k GTI looks way better than what I'm seeing here.
Probably could be cleaned up a bit I agree.
Rich people just drive cars,they don't take car of them.
@@charlesclement383 Huh? That's not true...I make a great living, have 3 cars, and each one of them are well cared for. Don't make an ignorant comment if you don't know what you're talking about
I would like to see how it holds up after 6 years or longer.
100.00 mile review on the way! Lol
Probably like and any other car depends on how you take care of your vehicle. Even with companies like Toyota and Honda if you don't properly take care of them they will break down.
Hey Ron- Is this the guy who was a former race car driver? I wonder what his long term plans with this car is and if he is going to continue to have one of the highest mileage Guilia Quadrofoglio’s in the country. Also, I like the way you say “Alcantara”
Haha my pronunciations are a work in progress. Oddly enough he was in the dealership yesterday and mentioned buying a new QV. If so I'll be making a video when we get this QV back on the market!
Rons Rides that would be awesome, would be very curious to know what a Guilia QF with those miles is still worth
Great video but the only thing I do not like about this engine is the belt driven cams
$400 for Cabin filters ?🤪
$400 for filters, oil and labor.
Rons Rides still a lot of 💵
It's chain driven. The belt he's talking about is the accessory belt.
Did he get the extended warranty?
Cause of the reliability issues?
What does the warranty cover?
Its a bumper to bumper power train warranty. So everything between your vehicle's front and back bumpers, meaning if your engine quits or oil starts leaking, you can take the car in for repairs at no charge.
Rons Rides yup just had my engine replaced in my qv at 6000 miles for low compression in cylinder 3. The cost of the engine was what blew my mind. Almost $45,000 for a new engine including labor! Lmao!
OMG! Thank the lord Jesus for warranties...thats insane!
Rons Rides
How long is the warranty? How many yrs or miles? Thanks
4 years 50,000 miles
my favorite movie!
How in the world did this make it to 50,000 miles !
It's not that unreliable of a car.
In Italy you spend more than 2k dollars each year just for owning the car. Shitty laws
These cars are meant to stay on the lifters loo
Gorgeous car, but I'd be petrified to own it after warranty is over...
Based on what?
have 2018 stelvio with 48,500miles purchased car on 2-21-18 wow lmao
How has the reliability been?
I do my own oil change no thanks
If you do it right, there's nothing wrong with that!
As a mechanic myself I take my maserati to the dealer for all service so I have a paper trail for service if I decide to sell the car...if you buy an expensive performance car..expect 5k a year on service..or more..if you don't like it buy an old Honda crv or toyota
Haha Alcan-what? Hahaha he says it wrong so many times. Haha oh well
OK say it lets hear.
Ever heard Trump speak???
@@charlesclement383 Al-can-tara very easy. Lol who is talking about Trump?
It’s crazy to me that people run pzeros on the street
I used to want one of these. Nope. Fuck that.
I would just get 2.0t to save money on maintenance
The fact that an Alfa that sports a 505 hp 3.0L engine can run for 50k miles is baffling. I'm really surprised.
Too bad they don't sell them here in Russia.
I would own one of these if they weren't so unreliable.
It's ok, keep your current car and 1980's mind set 🤣🤣🤣
What I learned is that YOU GOT TO BE A FUCKING MORON TO BUY THIS CAR!!! I'm getting the Genesis G80 AWD Sport instead.
Super unclear communications here. Vid is labeled a first oil change but he talks about everything else under the sun.
He talks too much. Get to the point of the video, man. Pretty sure he is a car salesman. Talks too much about this car hoping to convince someone to buy or lease one like it from him. This is the second and last video by him that I will watch.
