    These gearboxes are supremely delightful to experience. Very fun little cars. Great bang for the buck here! GLWS.

    Like several other posters here, I also have an Aston Martin: 2013 Vantage 6MT, 19K. Wonderful, underrated cars in the classic analogue style. You might want to consider listing it for sale on the 6speedonline.com board. There is a very active Aston Martin forum there and the cars for sale classified section always has an interesting assortment of cars for sale. As for me, I'm still looking for my first Ferrari!

    What does maintenance on these things generally run year over year?

    I did all the fluids and filters (including air filters and cabin filter) myself when I first got the car. Maybe spent around $400. Usually buy the service kit from Redpants.lol and the Motul fluids elsewhere. I think my indy mechanic quoted me $400 for just an oil change. It takes about 10 quarts with the dry sump.
    It’s not bad outside of a clutch job if you need it. That runs about $6k I’ve been told.

    How hard up are you to get this gone now? Have a relative that will be in the market for a manual only in the May timeframe. I will relay this to them unless you are going to list it elsewhere. Great looking car for sure!

    Not in a hurry. I really don’t want to sell it to be honest, but I’ve got 4 cars in my 3 car garage and it’s tight. If I put it in storage I’ll never get to it.

    I feel these cars will be increasing in value in the near future due to the manual fun factor and the wonderful revving engine sound. A real gentleman hotrod that doesn't make you feel like a cripple on long rides, easy to get in/out of , and of course classic design.
    My two cents

    The car in the Hagerty video is mine :)
    Annual maintenance consists of an oil change. You can do it yourself for about $150 in parts and fluids. Change the transaxle fluid and coolant every 5 years or so, do it yourself for a couple hundred dollars. A clutch and flywheel is $4-$6000 depending on which clutch you choose and where you have it done.
    These cars are an incredible value right now. It's insane that they are so inexpensive.

    Watching that video may have changed my mind honestly. There is absolutely nothing that touches this car for the money right now.

    After loaning my car to Hagerty and hanging out with them for 2 days at Road America while they took photos and video for the Bull Market list I have to say I really gained a new appreciation for the Aston. If I didn't already have one I would definitely be buying one this year.

    Yours looks like a good one, in a great color combination.

    If anyone is truly interested, the navigation system (like the key fobs) are directly from Volvo!

    At least Aston wrapped the fobs in leather, to get rid of the Volvo sign...

    Back on the market. I’m just not using it unfortunately and it deserves to be driven.

    I’ve had some questions regarding the clutch life. I don’t think you can take a snap of the clutch like a Ferrari. I bought the car with 18k miles on it and have never driven it in heavy traffic. The clutch currently feels great imo.

    PPI’s are welcome. I recommend British Auto Repair in Scottsdale. They did the O2 sensor for me a couple years ago and commented that it was a nice car.
