Well I really have no reason to lie, like I said it was probably a freak occurance and by no means am I claiming that the deal that I got is market. It was not the result of any strong-arming or great negotatiating skills on my part. The car was listed at $67, when I called the dealership said it was probably more like $60. If you've been looking at or paying attention to any of the car websites in the past year you'll know which car it was. Clean history, one owner, all verified service records. They had an offer in the high 50's from an AM dealership in TX. I matched the offer from the dealership and asked for the tires and brakes to be replaced. They agreed simply because they thought they could build a relationship with me and eventually get me into a Ferrari.

 

One other thing - car had some decent mileage on it - about 15K. Also, I saw a car listed a few months later with identical stats, '07, Nav, premium sound, identical mileage, etc. for $72. I think that was probably more market price.

 

Wish i can find a deal as good as yours! Great purchase!

 

Stealth,

I was looking for trading my 07 for a Maserati but somehow I calmed down and I would rather sell if the person and price was right. Let me know if interested, 7800 miles 2007 V8V Tungsten Silver/Black with Quicksilver exhaust and all options. Remaining 12 months factory warranty transfers to new owner. Pictures can be seen in "my garage" folder.

 

Are you talking about the same type of price/great deal that Game got? If so, I am interested!

 

uhmmm, no. I stated my opinion about this issue on page 1.... sorry but I don't believe the story.

 

If anyone has or knows of a lo mile 06 Vantage in the 55-58k range let me know. I'm looking for a DD in AZ. I'm thinking Vantage-M6 or CLS55.

 

The 3 cheapest listings on Auto Trader are:

06/17k miles, $60k
07/11k miles, $69k
06/19k miles, $69k

Not sure what your idea of low miles is, but I think you're going to be hard pressed to find a low 06 and the price range you're looking for. Then add in color combos that you're looking for and your chances go down more.

 

just bought my 07, 25k miles yesterday, it was on Autotrader for a few minutes when I made the call and the deal :P Fully loaded including umbrella.

Was listed at 65k.

 

Good price .. what's the color combo?

The slow season has begun and the prices are expected to be even lower.. soon ...

 

needless to say i didn't pay 65

Black on Grey interior. All depends on how the economy goes I guess. And I really don't see how the second hand market can go any lower, since there're plenty of people like me who really don't belong in the "Aston club" at new prices, but can ****** these up in the 60k ranges. Basically the M3 and S5 buyers.

 

Ha, I would definitely catagorize myself in that description - although who's to say I don't belong in the "club" because I enjoy the car so much. I agree that prices are dipping but will probably hit a bottom soon, if it hasn't already. I'm hoping when I am looking to sell mine in a few years (and hopefully hopping into a V12?) that the market has rebounded and I can unload it for close to what I paid for it.

 

These all seem like pretty good deals to me - why would ANYONE buy the 06/19k miles at $69 when they could have the 07/11k miles at the same price??

 

Because the 07 with 11k is pink and was just dragged out of a lake?

Numbers aren't everything.

 

Hey Cshsia-
What did you end up paying? Negotiating a very similar car now....Thanks!
