A few days ago, in the United States, a Texan owner took delivery of his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/en\/alfa-romeo\/\">Alfa Romeo<\/a> Giulia at around 12:15. An Italian sports sedan, presumably in Veloce trim, still immaculate, symbolically decorated with a red ribbon on the hood, as if to mark an important moment. An hour later, the dream turns to nightmare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/alfa-romeo-giulia.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45973\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/alfa-romeo-giulia.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/alfa-romeo-giulia-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/alfa-romeo-giulia-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/alfa-romeo-giulia-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While his wife was driving home on a Houston highway, the Giulia was hit from behind. The impact was violent enough to damage the entire right rear section... but visually far from what many would call irreparable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/alfa-romeo-giulia-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45972\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/alfa-romeo-giulia-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/alfa-romeo-giulia-2-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/alfa-romeo-giulia-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/alfa-romeo-giulia-2-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\"Total loss\": the verdict is in<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In a message posted on Facebook a few days after the accident, the owner made no secret of his incomprehension and bitterness. The car was quickly inspected and declared a \"total loss\" by the insurance company. In other words: economically irreparable. Worse still, the compensation offered did not fully cover the amount shown on the purchase invoice. The result: a dry loss of around $1,000. Not a huge sum on its own, but it's a principle that doesn't sit well with anyone. Losing a car and money... in a single hour, due to another driver's mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wave of incomprehension in the comments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Reaction was swift. Comments poured in by the dozen, and one sentiment dominated: disbelief. For many European Internet users, whether Italian, French, Dutch or Spanish, the Giulia is clearly repairable. Some talk of simple bumper damage, others estimate the bill at between $2,000 and $3,000, or even a little more if sensors or internal components are affected. In Italy, one comment sums up the situation: \"Here, it's just a few scratches\". Even some insurance and bodywork professionals are openly astonished by the decision. For them, such a claim should never have led to a declaration of total loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">American logic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>But in the USA, the logic is different. Several comments shed a different light: the vehicle is a 2018 model, and the \"total loss\" decision is based on a purely economic calculation. If the estimated cost of repairs exceeds a certain percentage of the vehicle's value, the insurance company prefers to indemnify and sell the car at auction. Then there's another key element: \"salvage\" status. By keeping the car and repairing it himself, the owner would have seen his Giulia lose value drastically, while becoming more expensive to insure. A choice that, financially, no longer made much sense in the long term. This is precisely what the owner explains in a subsequent reply: keeping the car would have meant accepting a sharp discount and lasting administrative complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"853\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/facebook-853x1200.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45974\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/facebook-scaled.jpg 853w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/facebook-299x420.jpg 299w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/facebook-768x1080.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/facebook-9x12.jpg 9w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ironically, a number of Internet users from Eastern and Southern Europe are not hiding their interest. Some half-jokingly explain that they would be prepared to buy the Giulia at auction, repair it quickly, and put it back on the road without anyone noticing a thing. A far from fictitious scenario. Every year, many cars declared wrecks in the USA cross the Atlantic to be reconditioned in Poland, Lithuania or Georgia.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":45971,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_sitemap_exclude":false,"_sitemap_priority":"","_sitemap_frequency":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[288],"class_list":["post-45970","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alfa-romeo","tag-alfa-romeo-giulia","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Il ach\u00e8te une Alfa Romeo Giulia\u2026 une heure plus tard, la voiture est d\u00e9j\u00e0 d\u00e9clar\u00e9e \u00e9pave - ItalPassion<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"C\u2019est le genre de m\u00e9saventure qu\u2019aucun Alfiste n\u2019imagine vivre, encore moins le jour de l\u2019achat.
