What is a good price for this 4C?

You can get a used or preowned 4C for under $45,000

 

You can ask for a reduced price, maybe wave the shipping fee. I got a Spider and didn’t have the acropovic exhaust. It’s very expensive. So I’d look for one that didn’t have that option. That alone would knock off 3k plus.

Here’s a black on black: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2017-Alfa-Romeo-4C/173403870050?hash=item285fad1362:g:Td8AAOSwK8BbRJkQ&vxp=mtr

 

I bought new. Sad to see the prices so depressed. Good thing I don’t plan on selling anytime soon...

Proper wheels( perhaps from a looks standpoint), but the car handles much better with the 18/17' wheel package especially for the track. If I remember when I bought mine I got around 13K off sticker.

 

I have not directly compared 17/18 with 18/19 combination on the track.

I did compare "track pack" equipped (18/19) with "standard" 17/18 on bumpy roads on the street and could feel no meaningful difference in ride harshness.

Hard to believe 18/19 was purely "marketing spin" by Alfa, versus more able track performance... As I recall the track pack equipped cars had different ARB or possibly ARB on both ends versus just one end and maybe different spring rates too.

One observation on the featured car: it does not have the CF interior package which covers the instrument cluster, vent nascelles and "gearbox plate" trim piece. Needless "bling" or better looking (or both) versus the $ is a "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" question. The Akrapovic exhaust is a nice option and would be $$ to add aftermarket as others have said.

Looks great!

 

Are there any power upgrades for this thing? I drove one and it just feels slow, and I'm not looking for a 0-60 under 3s or anything, just more of the "perception" of speed/acceleration...like I put my foot down in one and it didn't feel like it was going anywhere, but once it gets going and you throw it into the corners it becomes fun.

 

You have to make sure you’re in dynamic or track mode using the DNA switch on the center console.

Yes, Tom 360 and Morrie have modded theirs.

 

FWIW, local dealer has a leftover '16 4C coupe at a ~$14k discount. this jives with the post above about $13k off. so I'd offer $55-58k for the car you posted.

Since I am a bit out there I bought the 19/18" wheel and tree package from a dealer and did my own test, car does not handle as well. I figured it would be that way from my experience small lightweight car with relatively short wheelbase works better with smaller wheels. I have been a bit crazy over the years about how the right (or wrong) wheels and tires can effect a car so I am always experimenting. My car is not quite as modified as Toms, but one thing the 4C is not is slow (at least not in my opinion), I have ECU done, transmission flash (to increase shift speeds), Air Box and a Sprint V3 Throttle Controller. I also changed out all the hoses and clamps (the stock ones are not that great). I agree with Chas above that price range is where you should be able to buy it, unless the dealer thinks that since they stopped making coupes they are now more valuable.

 

I paid list price at 71 for a LE which is fully loaded. Not sorry I did in the least.

I think you could ask 12K off and see what the dealer thinks.

 

16 vs 18 though. 2 years of depreciation already.

 

still on MSO with very few miles (a couple of "test drives"), no significant changes between model years. I think it's a reasonably good comp

 

I disagree. I think the newer MY and the Akropovic (sp? - which is $3k on its own) distort the comparison. But hey, why not try, who knows!

 

MSRP on the '16 I listed above was higher than the OP's 2018.

btw OP, what's going on here? did you buy the car?

 

I probably sound like a broken record, but I had the 4C out yesterday for a few hours, and it just never ceases to amaze me how good that little thing is. I've never been a fan of Ferrari's GT (so I'd take a 4C over a 599 every time) cars, but then cars need to fit into a certain place for me to want them. Not sure how dealers are going to see the end of coupe production, will they think the last ones are worth more, or less. Besides the turbo lag, the drive by wire is remarkably slow is the 4C, the V3 takes care of that.
