I have a gorgeous tungsten DB9 available. Maybe that will interest you. Similar pricing to the vantage as I just dropped the price a good chunk. Can be a great daily and it's also a limited edition with low miles http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/other-cars/553817-2012-aston-martin-db9-sport-edition-no-23-60-a.html
I have a 2007 Silver On Red Roadster paddle shift if interested shoot me a text 201 6815633 Ill send some pics
I have been eyeing the v8 vantage as well but have been told that they are not relatable and problematic... any truth to this?
He asked if the car was reliable. It is very reliable with a bulletproof engine. Every car has its quirks although issues can be managed or eliminated with an active owner. Squeaks and rattles don't factor into "reliable" to me. But happy to hear what you see as a acknowledged problem area on the cars that did not come from Doug Demuro's mouth. Thanks. Robb
I owned a Vantage V8, my problems which are pretty well known included, tensioners failing, gas cap not opening, dash cracking around screen, leather shrinkage, intermittent transmission errors (sport shift) and stalling, leaking tail lights. These are from memory and I'm sure there are more. Most of the Vantage issues are more quirks than reliability though.
I have had mine for 4 years now. Nothing but routine maintenance at the dealer. I had the navigation system gears fail, but that was an easy fix. Image Unavailable, Please Login
I have a 2013 7 speed paddle with 9K miles Im looking to sell. May not be exactly what you're currently looking for but it may interest you? Painted the wheels black, tinted the windows, changed stock pads to Porterfield, added Velocity AP lowering springs and also the velocity AP performance package with exhaust (http://www.velocityap.com/Aston-Martin-V8-Vantage-Power-Pack-Kit-Exhaust-Y-p/velamv8ppexhaust.htm). I haven't had any real issues except for leaking tail light but it was replaced under warranty and no more issues.

My garage is delayed another two months because of permitting issues with our county. I’m going to put the search on hold for now. I will likely pick up a 2009-2010 coupe stick in the future. Thanks for the interest. I will keep the group updated. Robb
Update: Found the perfect Vantage for me. Arriving Tuesday. 2009 one owner coupe with 6k miles in meteorite over black. Sport pack and all options. Will be going after the fabspeed sport cats and x pipe for extra 40 hp/tq Could not be happier with the car. Robb
