$74,900 with 9500 miles. also, the dealer told me that this was a custom color and that AM actually painted the car for the previous customer because he wanted it that color. Is that even possible and would AM really do this or do you think the Laguna Seca Blue is an aftermarket paint job?

Is this worth it?

 

If you order the car new you can order any color you want-my last Aston was Porsche Speed Yellow-ordered special by the original owner.

 

oh wow... thanks for the clarification. I didn't know that was possible but the dealer said the original owner wanted laguna seca so AM painted it that for him.

 

Mine was special ordered in Ferrari TDF Blue by the previous owner.

 

I have a Vertigo Blue V8 that was a "out of range" color, which cost me extra.

 

I have an Midnight Blue 06. I'm sure the previous owner had "me" in mind when he ordered it. Good looking out!!

 

Aston is very accommodating on special order colors. The first Vantage I looked at and drove was custom painted Lamborghini yellow by the factory. You can actually see the same car on page 2 of this gallery which shows a lot of custom colors.

Wow... i guess i should educate myself more if i plan on getting one.

Now for the better question - what should I offer?

 

FYI, car was listed in south florida for $79,999 and recently went thru manheim florida for $68,500

 

Thanks for this. Is manheim the auction where the car was purchased by Exotic Classics in NY? The car is there now.

 

yes it was, So I am guessing they spent $1k to $2k in auction fees and shipping. I bought my 2007 Vantage for Mid $60's 1 week ago, 7k miles with only red brakes and 19 inch wheels as options. I based my purchase on this cars auction selling price--that car is loaded with nav, sound system, cruise, heated & Memory seats, Homelink, etc.

 

man... i would do anything for a deal like that one you got. so basically, most 07s out there are about 5k over priced but some are like 10k. Tysons Corner has an 07 with 16k miles that is $82995.

 

prices have bottomed out and are now creeping up, especially since it is summer. Mine was originally listed for $71,900. If you like gold, I was considering this one, still has 3 months of warranty and has just 4k miles:

In the end, I told myself to get the color you want if you are spending this kind of money--so I got Tungsten Silver

 

I saw that one... don't like the interior.... i completely agree with you on color and getting what you will enjoy. i plan on keeping the car for a while so just considering whether better to get a 2010 or 07. as you have seen by my posts, considering the 2010 in Gulf Blue and the 07 in Laguna Blue

 

You will sure have a 1 of a kind Vantage!! For what it worth, if you can get a new 2010 for close to $100k you should be fine as the used 2009-2010's on the market right now are all above $100k
