Guy,
I am about to pull a trigger on this 07 AM. Any advice would be appreciate.

The expo of houston is firm on the price and they said it will need a 10k miles service soon at $1500..anything else i need to know? I am going to have a private inspection before purchase. thanks

07 vantage with 94xx miles asking for 72k.

 

Car looks nice in photo's...not sure of that shade of silver but if it is Lightning silver....I was checking out a DBS in that color yesterday and it is beautiful. Seems odd to me that the dealer would just not do the serrvice as it is not very involved. Maybe you could get them to throw that in??? PPI is obviously necessary....Good luck with your purchase...I wish I had more info for you but I also am new to the AM experiance and learning!

 

The car probably sold for around $120k in '07, the price is quite nice. The condition in pictures is nice too. Would suggest an independant inspection from a trusted source - these cars are not that complicated and independant shops can handle the inspection and future repairs/service. I am sure you have purchased a used car before - same advise.
IMHO the price is certainly in the ball park, the real question is do you like/want this car (color, options)? If so and the condition is acceptable to you ... get it and enjoy!

 

This looks very nice.

I drove a 2007 Vantage at an AM Dealer with half the miles asking $70K and it sounds like they have a little room to give. For $72K at an independent dealer I would assume you can do better than this price, especially since it needs the 10K service.

 

I decided to pull the trigger on a different car from the AM dealer.it also an 07 with 16k but had all maintenance record and just recently completed service.The car is fully loaded and with the james bond gray color is better for re-sale if i ever decide to sell it.thank you for all the advices and now i guess some new shoes for my V8.

 

Did you drive the Blue 07 Vantage in Vegas. I am thinking about this car as it is offered by an AM dealer. How did you like the color combo? Any factory warranty left on it and was it due for service?

 

check pm.

 

Please Let us know how the shoe shopping goes...finding it difficult to choose the right wheels for a meteor grey AMV

 

I decided to purchase the modulare wheel M14..here is the pic.

any input?

 

Although not my first choice from the current market, I do like them as I have a similar set of Champion RS98's on my 911.
I'm noticing quite a few offset wheels on AMV's where the front lip is nearly as large as the rear, if not equal, a look I personally don't appreciate and may cause balancing issues, especially when driving in the wet.
My suggestion; make sure the rear lip is at least 3x the fronts so as to optically enhance/widen the rear of the car. Just MHO.
Make sure to post pics of the final fit!

 

The set up on the M14s will yield a 1.5" front lip and a 3" rear lip. The rear lip is already pushed to the max and any bigger lip will require some major rear fender work. Stay tuned... 4 weeks to go... It's going to look

You should be glad you didnt buy that V8V from Expo. I have shopped there alot and they frequently list cars with obvious paint work and dont say so, letting the price draw you in. Hopefully your inspection would have caught it.
