Getting 06 AM Vantage... plz Help me deciding color.

I am in the process of getting the v8 Vantage,

Found couple of them for pretty good price, everything is right around 10xxx miles.

1. Dark Blue with Fox Red interior
2. Dark silver with Black interior
3. Dark silver with Black / red interior

I personally love the FOX red interior which almost looks like orange interior.
But same time, I need to think of resaleing the car, not in anytime soon, but in the future.

Let me hear your voices please!

Go with dark silver (it's called tungsten) and black interior. That fox red seems a bit too orange....may turn off people during your resale. If you can, try to get extended warranty on the car...about $2000-2500 per year, preferably from dealer. Aston is expensive to fix anything...keep that in mind. Post some pics when you get the car.

thanks for the great info.

I am curious what might go wrong with 2006 British car?

Also, if i skip a year for the extended warranty, can i still get the next following year?

I don't think the Aston dealer will let you get the extended warranty if you miss one year but you can check. Typically, the dealer does a paid inspection before they sell you the extended warranty. Otherwise, look into 3rd party warranty or do a search on this board.

I'd prefer a Dark blue exterior with a tan interior. But, since that is not on the list; go for the tungsten (dark silver) exterior with red interior. You won't regret that either.

I personally love red interiors but I would avoid it if resale is important to you. At the very least, you should pay a few grand less to help buffer the lower resale. Make sure to look at the tungsten in person. I like it but some of my friends think it looks a little dull/dingy.
