How Did You Come About Owning Your Car?
CQ: I got an awesome lease deal for 36-months and 10,000 miles per year.
The total drive-off was $1,860 including the first month’s payment, taxes and, fees. So, it was $359 a month (not including taxes) for a $50,000-plus vehicle.
What Did You Have To Give Up Before Buying Your Car?
CQ: I had to sell my leased Jeep Compass. And the timing was perfect. Because it was when used car prices were peaking.
As a result, my Compass was appraised for $3,900 over the residual value. And I received a loyalty rebate for staying with the FCA (now Stellantis) family.

Describe Top-3 Favorite Things About Your Car
Clinton Quan’s Alfa Romeo Guilia Top-3:
- Exterior paint: I love the Alfa Rosso (red) exterior paint. Because it really shows off the gorgeous lines and curves on the Giulia.
- Interior: The interior is really important to me for any car and I absolutely love mine. For example, the three-spoke, F1-inspired flat-bottom steering wheel with a push-button start and aluminum steering-column mounted paddle shifters. Overall, it has excellent ergonomics with all the controls right at your fingertips.
- Drive: Also, it’s a blast to drive. And the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder has plenty of power. Specifically, it delivers 280 horsepower with 306 pound-feet of torque.
What Do You Have Left To Do With Your Car?
CQ: I would love to take my car to the track. And one of my favorites is the Streets of Willow at Willow Springs in Rosamond.
