Anyone have a website or solid data indicating what these cars could be attained for with some light negotiating?

That is a pretty cool site yankee.

Song,

I have an 07 7.7k miles Tungsten Silver/black Sportshift with Quicksilver exhaust, K-40 radar, clear bra covering 30% and ipod for $80k out the door. That is a $5k upgrade to an allready full factory optioned vehicle.

 

That's 15-20k over what the cars are bringing at auction. I have a local seller at $65k.

 

I looked at auction prices on the webpage you submitted. Auction price for an above average Aston with 6,600 miles sold for $78,181. Estimated retail: $84,000. Not sure what are you implying, and please don't compare auction sale prices with a personal sale... I am not a dealer, just trying to sell my car Oh, good luck finding an 07 Aston V8V for $65k.

 

The price range on these cars is very elastic depending upon market and more often the seller. I've seen many sell for 60-70k. Last spring there was an '07 yellow droptop ss that went for $69k on eBay. I also am in the fortunate position to have a dealer who will buy at auction for me. Good luck with your sale.

 

I bought my '07 for less than 60, but it was probably a freak occurrance.

 

WOW

 

Katrina victim ?

 

if you have to ask......

 

I bought it from a Ferrari dealership - a guy had traded it in and they were looking to get it off the lot ASAP. I came in and offered well below 60, they came in at a higher price (but still below 60). I agreed to the price and asked for new tires and brakes, and they agreed - I think my all in cost was in low to mid 50's when it was all said and done....

 

Don't believe it...

 

got my 06, 14k miles for 65

 

An 06 for $65k sounds like a fair price. But an 07 for under $60k with new tires and brakes? Give me a break. We are all intelligent, well educated people on this forum... Don't matter if it was a Ferrari dealer or Ford, no dealer will sell for $20k below market price. At the same time I would assume that no Aston owner in his right mind would let his car go for high $50s as a trade in.

 

Not saying this is the case here, but if the car had been wrecked, or was titled as "lemon" buyback, I feel that price would be about right. -- How much of a discount would it take for you to purchase such a car? I wouldn't buy one, even if priced in the $50s. There is no reason the car couldn't be enjoyed just like an "untainted" one. Yet, I'd always have an uneasy feeling way in the back of my mind.

I stopped caring about the depreciation of mine long ago. Instead, I focus on what a great little car the Vantage is. They're so fun, aren't they?
