My buddy is afraid to drive his Vanquish S because of reliablity and mileage, so i's a garage queen at $3K month. When I came over to visit him, it was in the shop Last week, he decided to put the car up for sale.

Yes, keep us posted on the DBS! How long will it take if he has the opportunity to purchase one for it to arrive?

That's a nice Vanquish.
Glad to hear that at least AM is trying to take care of him.

Ok, June is the expected delivery. Its the light silver color, with the black leather and silver inserts in the seats. I was really trying to talk him in to getting white exterior, I think that would be really neat.

The dealer did a straight trade.

As in horrid? If so, I agree. He regrets getting them from day 1. At the LA Car show, roughly 2-3 years ago when Zone seemed to be getting big, he saw them on a 911 turbo. I guess they looked somewhat decent on the P car, so he got them for his Vanquish.

Oh well, Aston already took the car back, so the wheels are no longer an issue. He is keeping the stock setup for the new car that is coming.

My wife has a Q-port and we have had no major issues with it. Having said that I do think Maserati is about to have bigger problems. We'll see.

The AM's are about as pretty as cars get. I have no first hand experience with them though.
