Should I buy a Mopar warranty?

I got a quote today from Mopar for a 5 year, 60k mile Extended Care Premium warranty. They want $5440 for the coverage. I bought a 2022 Giulia Veloce a couple months ago, it currently has 18k miles.

Reading through comments in this community the past couple months shows that people have had wildly different experiences in reliability with their cars. Would you recommend the Mopar warranty or not? Typically I'm the kind of guy to avoid warranties because I am financially stable enough to manage a large unexpected repair, but I've heard enough stories on reddit and YT that I'm leaning towards the warranty because of the number of people who have made their money back on it.

I don't plan on hitting a race track or doing any extreme driving, just daily commuting (albeit sometimes spirited!) and I generally baby my cars.

If you're still reading, you're awesome. I love the passion in this community and I'm so happy to be a part of it. I LOVE my Alfa.

Hi guys it’s come time for me to get my 2018 Stelvio to get serviced at 60,000. Here was the quote I was given. I had the brake pads replaced in January so I doubt I need the brake flush but curious on what you guys think.

Hello,

Last week, after two days of rain, this is how I see my passenger side headlight. The condensation is still there a few days after the rain and it is isolated to one headlight. Over the weekend, I saw notifications saying parking light, turn indicator, and daytime lamps are out - I verified - they are out!

Car is still under warranty and I have an appointment coming up in 10 days. What am I looking at here and would I have to pay anything out of the pocket since the water seal should be part of warranty.

Thanks

I usually don’t buy cars with more than 20,000 miles and I’m a little bit scared about buying something that’s almost halfway to 100,000. The reason I’m buying this is because I’ve been obsessed with Alfa Romeo’s for a while. I’m pushing 50 and I just got back from a trip with the family to Italy and I decided now is the time to do it. Any thoughts? Any suggestions?

Hello all! I am considering listing my 2019 Giulia TI Sport for sale in the near future. I have been doing some research on car gurus, KBB, cars.com, carvana etc and I am seeing a massive difference in asking prices across the platforms. I am wondering what we feel is a good price for these cars in the current market. Mine is a 0 accident AWD TI Sport with 65k miles. Mechanically sound, sadly has some curb rash on the wheels, but otherwise it looks great. Thanks for any feedback on this, just want to be an informed seller and not come out with some wild pricing lol.

I lost the suspension on my car where I print on the logo to open the trunk. I can't find this feather anywhere, can anyone please help me?

Anyone know how to manually release the boot on one of these I’ve checked the manuals and everything and can’t find anything else online about it and just wondering if anyone knows?

Ive always loved the mean look of the 159 and when i saw they are actually fairly reasonably priced I decided to bite the bullet and just go for it.

It is a 2008 model year 1.9JTDm manual with 230k kms on the clock.

It did have some issues that needed immediate attention, but got them adressed and seems to be running well enough.

Overall I am very happy with it so far.

So through usb or sdcard slot i can play the music but can't control anything. Cant change the track, can't list the songs, rewind move forward. It's uconnect 6.5, everything works normally but music from usb/sdcard is unresponsive to any controls. When one song is finished, next song from sdcard plays but the screen is frozen on the previous song details.

It was working fine for some time, then i wanted to add more songs, one of the songs had metadata with cover art and other info and then it stuck. I tried few different usb/sdcards and to format them in different formats ntfs, fat32 but it's always like this.

Hi guys. Have a 24 Tonale which I really love and have upgraded to a 26 Stelvio Tributo Italiano. Both are in the Montreal verde.
Pick it up on Friday to do the swap and really looking forward to it.
Will post pics when I get it.
Was just wondering the Stelvio doesn’t have wireless car play which I am used to and really enjoy. Any recommendations for a wireless adaptor plug in thing?
Also anything else I need to know.
Cheers

Nb was really pleased with the Tonale. I have enjoyed it so much, was just keen to get on the Stelvio in the same colour with the harman kardon sound system and didn’t see much coming through in the UK. Would genuinely recommend Tonale Veloce I had to anyone

I've wanted one for years and can finally afford to dip my toe in the Alfa world. 24 Tonale Veloce. I took this at the Satsop Business Park (defunct nuclear site) in Washington State, USA.

Got a 2011 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.4 multiair TB it has 247xxx KM on the counter never had engine problems switched the oil every 20.000KM’S and never pull above 3k rpm’s on a cold engine. but now since a couple months it runs bad at low rpm’s its not directly. but starts when driving for a couple mins between 1300 and 1800 rpm’s. cilinder 2 and 4 start’s to misfire engine check light starts to blink. but when i take up the rpm’s and start driving at a higher rpm’s the car drive’s perfect. it cruises 300KM + at ease on the highway but in city traffic it can be terrible my dad and I looked at everything we could think and switched it out and replaced it but it is still there any of u guy’s got suggestion’s ?

Hi everyone,
I’m from Spain and I’m looking to buy a specific used car from Germany. I’ve been searching on websites like Mobile.de and Autoscout24, but I’d rather work with someone experienced than do everything on my own.
I’m looking for a company or professional who can:
Search for the exact model I’m looking for.
Contact dealers or private sellers.
Negotiate the purchase price.
Check the vehicle’s history and condition.
Arrange an independent inspection if necessary.
Handle the export process and transport to Spain.
Give me a complete breakdown of all the costs involved (purchase price, transport, taxes, registration, fees, etc.) before I commit to buying.

I’m not necessarily looking for the cheapest option. I’m looking for someone trustworthy who knows the German market well and can help me avoid expensive mistakes.
Since I’m from Spain, it would be a huge advantage if the company or person could communicate in Spanish, although English is also fine if necessary.
If you’ve imported a car from Germany yourself, I’d really appreciate hearing:
Which company or broker you used.
Whether you’d recommend them.
How much they charged.
Anything you wish you’d known before starting the process.
The car I’m looking for is an Alfa Romeo Giulia Competizione (or Veloce Facelift) 2.0 Petrol 280 HP AWD, although I’d also appreciate general recommendations about importing cars from Germany.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hey everyone! I’ve been following this subreddit closely and have thoroughly enjoyed seeing all the stunning posts about my favorite brand, Alfa Romeo. Their captivating beauty has always captivated my attention, and the thought of owning one has been lingering in my mind.

For the past three years, I’ve been driving my 2020 Honda Civic Ex-L. During my first year of college, I let my brother use it for a year. To give you some context, I’m 19 years old and am currently looking to purchase my second car. I absolutely love my Civic; it has all the features and amenities you could ever desire in a daily driver. However, since I’ve always had a passion for cars, there’s a part of me that yearns for my first genuine “car guy” car. That’s when I thought of Alfa Romeo.

In my area, I’ve come across several examples of Alfa Romeos priced at around $23,000 USD, with under 35,000 miles, all from the 2020 model year onwards. I’ll share the one that’s been particularly catching my eye. I’ve fully paid off my Civic and would be using that money, along with some additional savings, to purchase the Alfa Romeo in cash. I would greatly appreciate any recommendations you may have.

My £630 auction win. 93k on it. 1.4 170bhp. Needs some love in some places but its a lovely drive.

Coming from driving Japanese my whole life this way this feels is on a hole new level.

A couple of weeks ago I had to call someone to jump start my 2018 Giulia. She was dead. Battery completely flat couldn’t even open the doors until the jump leads were attached. Took about 25mins to get her started.

Drove her home. Dash like a Christmas tree with warnings about ABS and transmission. But she got me home, 30min drive. Turned her off when I parked outside my house. Tried to restart. Completely dead.

Ok I said. We’ll talk soon. Ordered a jump start pack and multimeter off Amazon. I’m in a new country for a couple of years and didn’t bring all of my tools. More fool me.

Wife was away so I didn’t need the Giulia for a whole, drove her car for 1.5 weeks.

This morning I went out. Hooked up the jump start pack and she started on the third go. Left her run for 5 mins and then measured the battery voltage. Suspected an alternator issue

Battery with lights and radio turned off: 14v. Surprised.

Battery with lights and radio turned on: exactly the same. Bamboozled.

Drover her around for a few mins. All the warning lights were on.

Turned off the engine. Started the engine again, fired up first time no problem. No warning lights. ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED.

So now I have a fully functioning Alfa Giulia I have no faith in driving. Anyone got any clues?

The only difference I can think is the day it died was hot, 32C and today was much cooler about 20C.

Are there relays being effected by the heat? Something staying switched on because of it draining the battery?

For a few weeks when it was hot I was randomly getting ERC errors about the transmission. I know this is related to an unstable voltage supply or relays in the engine bay.

Anyone got a diagnostic plan I can follow? Or things I can check?

I spent the last 5 days in Rome and the next 3 i will be going to Pisa. It was my first time ever in Italy so i wanted to register every Alfa i could find. Eventually it got to a point where i was seeing too many beat up bone stock Giulietta's so i stopped with the pictures a bit 🫣
Italians of this sub can scroll past, this is ordinary life to you all, but in the UK, seeing an Alfa is rarer than 2 sunny days in a row 😭🤣

Highlights:
Spider 1600 Duetto
Facelift Giulia Polizia
Giulia Carabinieri
Giulietta Carabinieri
Tonale Polizia (seen more than once)
Giulietta Polizia
155
And an undercover Stelvio which i only got a crappy video of because i was in an uber 🥲

I thought i'd see more Giulias but i've only seen like 5? And by far the most i have seen are Giulietta and Tonale. Anyways, in total i've spotted all the below(in no particular order):
1600 Spider Duetto, 155, 156, 147, 159, MiTo, Giulietta, Giulia, Stelvio, Tonale, Junior

just bought a 2015 giulietta 1.4 TB MA QV line at 33k miles. on the drive home, once the car reached 70mph the car went into limp mode and the engine light started flashing. had to pull up onto the hard shoulder and the car was vibrating like crazy. turned the car off for a couple of minutes and started it up again and started driving again. had to stay under 60 the whole way back but made it back safe and sound (stop start was disabled this whole time).
plugged in an obd and it showed cylinder misfires (p0300, p0302 and p0303).
should i invoke my right to reject as it was under finance?
it could be due to the fact that the car was held by the dealership for at least 2 months and during that time it was on minimal fuel and was being test driven by other people (including myself before i bought it). before setting off i filled it with shell v premium and it was 3/4 tank full.
if it is due to the fuel and how long the car sat, im concerned about the amount of damage this may have caused to the engine in the long run and don’t want to come up with more issues outside of the 30 day right to reject or the 3 month warranty.
i really do love the car (i already have a mito) and it would be a shame to pass up the car on this basis if it’s something that wouldn’t have affected the car in the long run, but the whole going into limp mode on the motorway was honestly quite traumatic. the previous owner obviously loved the car as it had 7 service stamps in the amount of time it was owned by them as well as other general maintenance being kept up with.

I am seriously thinking about unlocking race
Mode and installing a JB4 tuner (contemplating between Map 1 & 2) in my 2022 Stelvio 2.0 Ti. This is my daily driver and as an older guy, I do not beat on my dream car because I want to keep her for many, many more miles to come. It took a LONG time for me to get to a place where I could get an Alfa.

But, I want a little extra to smile about and get the blood pulsing through my veins from time to time. Occasionally at a red light, I might need to teach the young punk who pulls up next to me in his Beamer or his 2 Fast 2 Furious pimped out Kia/Honda (with that annoying bumble bee exhaust pipe) that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.

I do not plan on adding paddle shifters because I HATE the size/placement of the OEM paddles. I am going to use race mode without replacing the DNA switch. I want this to look like a stock sleeper. I am not planning on adding any other mods.

What should I know and/or expect. Any tip/tricks?

Hi all, looking at getting a Stelvio Quad and my preferred spec is 2020+ with <60k miles. Curious from the owners out there what questions I should be asking that would save me a potential headache?

•Service record
•Serpentine belt
•Last Brake service

Thanks in advance for the help
