Hi all,

I'm new to the Aston Martin circles, previously owning a E36M3 and Lotus Elise. I have never bought a preowned car before, but with the used market so tempting it's hard not too consider a preowned V8V. What do you all think of this car?

It seems that it's the test mule RSC used to create their products. I assume it's also the one in the videos playing with the Lambo. So would you consider a car like this or look for an unmolested specimen?

From my quick reading of posts here, it seems that MY '06 - '08 have weak clutches. With the upped power of this particular car, I guess I'll be looking at replacing the clutch soon. Are there any aftermarket units out there? I have a lift, screw compressor and tire changer in my garage, so I'll be looking to do the majority of maintenance on this car myself.

TIA

 

What is the price ?

 

Oh, the RSC Vantage, I don't think the pics really do that car justice. The guy at Exclusive said the asking price was in the 80's - considering the amount of mods done to the car, including the amount of fiberglass exterior mods, the price sounded about right. Car drives and sounds great, though.
