http://www.dupontregistry.com/autos/Search/DRauSearchDetails.aspx?itemid=1113584

Seems like a good deal and nice car. I emailed the owner tonight...waiting to hear back...wouldn't be a bad xmas gift for myself! are people doing PPI's on vantages the way they do on Fcars? Thanks guys! your thoughts and opinions are appreciated!

 

That is a really low price for an '08 roadster, though the miles are higher than most '08's on the market. You MUST do a PPI. It is even more important than with Ferrari's for two reasons (i) Ferrari's tend to be more coddled by owners and (ii) a Vantage is both an exotic and a British car, which doubles the chances of it having major issues if it has not been properly cared for.

 

Thanks raptor...as always, i appreciate your advice...

 

car was sold already...

 

Aww bummer....at that price was definitely going to move fast.
Don't give up your search though....the Aston is the most elegantly designed car.

 

I agree. My next car will be a 09+ vantage. Absolutely stunning!

 

FWIW, I am loving my 07 Vantage Awesome car.

 

You have one? If so whats the servicing cost like, to compare I have a 1995 F355? Also would you say it would be a good daily or is that a no?

Thanks for the response.

 

So far, my servicing cost has been zero. BUT, I have only had it about 2 months

Mine is an 07, that I bought with about 7500 miles on it. Yes, very low milage.

It is my daily driver, and will remain a DD unless there is snow on the roads in which case I'll just walk to the office or have my wife drop me off (she has a Wrangler Unlimited). It is absolutely 100% capable as a daily driver. I go to the grocery store, Target, drop my son off at school, etc. etc. It is a 6-speed manual. I am not a fan of paddle cars (in any marque) when they use old-style clutches. A California/458/FF paddle is a different game.

On cold mornings (30 degrees) it takes a little while to warm up, but the gearbox is perfectly usable even when cold.

 

Sweet, thanks for the info!
