    This took 10 years but did it last week. Bought my f430 Spider.

    Sold My aston 2 weeks ago (took a 60k loss on that). Perfectr condition mint and didnt get much for it.

    Was about to purchase a v12 vantage when i said screw it. made the deal and the car is on the way.

    about $110k. 06 spider 30k miles. new clutch at 25k miles. mint condition overall.

    Congrats !
    I remember doing that exact move awhile back....sold a Nurburgring Edition V8V In lightning silver for a 430 spider...never looked back.
    Interestingly I also did pick up a V12VS years later as a daily driver, phenomenal car but yes you take a bath on every Aston you buy (depreciated $75k in one year)

    Congrats man! I thought your screen name looked familiar. This is Jason haha I just sold my Vantage as well and have been looking at 360's myself.

    Looking forward to going on/hosting Ferrari drives if I end up finding a car in the next couple months!

    Jason! small world haha. That would be great. Did you end up getting what you wanted on your aston or did you have to lower it?

    Why not the 430?
