Aston Martin V8 Vantage 6-Speed For Sale BringATrailer Budget Supercar

Aston Martin V8 Vantage 6-speed is one of the best super sports cars you can buy, at least, with some careful shopping.

Let’s be honest, 6SpeedOnline patrons already know that the Aston Martin V8 Vantage, especially with the 6-speed manual, is amazing super sports car. Shoot, half of our forum is dedicated to Aston Martin, and, in particular, the baby Vantage. Priced have dropped considerably, making them attainable dreams cars for many enthusiasts. It also helps that they sound great, look better, and are, for an “exotic” car, pretty reliable.

That brings us handily to this 2006 example on BringATrailer, with just 35,341 miles on the odometer. It has a clean title with no accidents, which is a definite plus. It’s been lightly modified with some tasteful, and very juicy upgrades. That sonorous 4.3-liter V8 engine, which is good for 380 horsepower, and 308 lb-ft of torque, sings it’s sweet song through aftermarket pipes. From there, a bunch of V12 Vantage aesthetic upgrades have been added. Side skirt extensions, clear taillights, and some carbon fiber bits, like that excellent rear spoiler add-on are all part of the deal.

By accounts, it’s a sweet package. Also, and this will be unsurprising to 6SpeedOnline readers, it’s very reasonably priced. At the time of this writing, the current bid is just over $27 grand. We expect that due to the lower mileage, it’ll wrap things up around the $45-50K mark. A relative bargain for the badge, the looks, and, of course, for the performance.

So, 6Speeders, are any of you going to make a fun weekend purchase on BaT and scoop up this sweet V8 Vantage 6-speed?
