• A 2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio in Misano Blue Metallic sold for $36,250 on Cars & Bids, representing a 52% value loss from its original $76,595 MSRP.
• The Ferrari-derived twin-turbo V6 produces 505 horsepower, enabling a 0-60 mph time of 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 191 mph.
• Despite severe U.S. depreciation, the Giulia Quadrifoglio retains strong enthusiast demand and significantly higher secondary values across European markets.

The hammer dropped on October 6, 2026, at $36,250. That’s how much a 2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio in Misano Blue Metallic fetched on the Cars & Bids auction platform, and it perfectly illustrates how brutal depreciation can get for Italian performance machinery in the American market. When this sedan left the factory in Piedimonte San Germano, Italy, it carried an MSRP of $76,595. Eight years later, it crossed the auction block for less than half that number, landing squarely in Prius territory.

Ferrari-Bred Powertrain

Under the hood sits a 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V6 with genuine Maranello fingerprints. The engine was co-developed with Ferrari and produces 505 horsepower alongside 443 lb-ft of torque, sending power through an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission to the rear wheels. Alfa Romeo quotes a 0-60 mph time of 3.8 seconds, and the sedan runs all the way to 191 mph before the electronics step in. For the record, the BMW M3, Audi RS 5, and Mercedes C 63 were its primary targets when new, and the Giulia still hangs with them on a twisty road.

Chassis and Hardware

The Quadrifoglio trim shipped this chassis with serious hardware. A lightweight carbon fiber roof drops the center of gravity, while active suspension and a torque vectoring rear differential sharpen turn-in response. Stopping power comes from Brembo brakes, and the car rolls on 19-inch Dark Tecnico wheels. Inside, the cabin features carbon fiber trim, heated and power-operated sport seats, a heated steering wheel, and a Harman Kardon audio system.

Condition and Service History

This particular example accumulated 52,700 miles and carried a clean New Jersey title with zero accidents reported. The seller acquired it in November 2025 and added roughly 17,000 miles during his ownership. Recent work reads like a well-kept logbook: a new fuel pump went in at 49,223 miles in July 2026, fresh tires and an alignment followed, and the purge valve canister was replaced in August. Maintenance inspection and recall work were completed in September 2026 at 52,662 miles. The seller reportedly changed oil and filter every 5,000 miles.

Why the Price Cratered

Italian reliability concerns drive much of the depreciation in the U.S. used market. Buyers get nervous about out-of-warranty repair costs on performance cars with complicated European electronics. The numbers back it up: clean Quadrifoglio models trade between $25,000 and $45,000 depending on mileage and specification, and the average sale price across the model sits around $40,345 below original MSRP. Meanwhile, in Europe, enthusiast demand keeps secondary values significantly higher than what American buyers see.

For roughly the cost of a base 2027 Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid, someone walked away with a 505-horsepower Italian sports sedan that still runs with the German establishment. Whether that math makes sense depends on appetite for Italian quirks, but the new buyer also inherits an outstanding loan that must be satisfied before the title transfers.
