I would have guessed much older than what this thread suggests... of course we are getting the demographic of AM owners who are also on this forum. I am 54--I got the car as a 50th birthday gift for myself after much research. ( It was not a midlife crisis.)

On the other end of the spectrum, I guess I win the "Old Guy" Prize at 75. My Aston was a Gift from our Children, purchased with money they will not inherit.
Corvettes, and a Porsche in the past, but this is my first Aston.

Similar story. Promised myself a present on 35th bday but took a few months to put it in the garage.

My lady boss doesn't want a wedding.. so I'm thinking of setting up a Vantage Performance Fund.

Had to laugh out loud at this one RP. At least you have your priorities straight! I must admit that I can sympathize.

Why so much?? With my V12V, everything is covered except typical wear and tear items, fluids, tires and brakes, which i dont anticipate having to replace in the 2-3 years i plan on keeping the car since i am not tracking it that much.

They replaced clutch and they fix a bunch of stuff like front splitter, airbag sensor, oil change-filter, transmission fluid, brake fluid,polen filter, clean injectors etc. the car is there so i dont know the exact cost for now.

how is that possible if the first vantages came out in 06 (or 05 in England). I assume you were already drooling at the concept stage! as was I, to be honest.
