Its easier to get to their sister store in Greenwich, CT... which I really like. Excellent service. Long Island is difficult to get to because you have to travel through NYC... might as well be in Chicago.

Never drive an Aston through Manhattan! It's no place for a nice car (IMO). Go above it or below it. Neither is much fun, but the dealer is truly excellent. BTW, I hear the Chicago dealer is good too.

I think it's worth a premium over a standard '08 4.3, but it's hard to say how much. I agree that 22K is normal rather than low mileage.

That said, at around that price, you can probably look at a 4.7, and the difference in how the cars feel is significant.
+1 I had this dilemma on my first Aston
I bought an early 4.7 with sports pack
All the tech from the N400 and the benefit of 4.7 upgrades

Chirag I see your in NJ as am I, do you use your V8V as a daily and where do you service, take your car in for maintenance?
Hey viper, sorry for the late reply. I dont daily it (my occupation wont allow for it, just not practical)...I take it to the steel wings Lotus dealership for service. They also restore older AMs, and have worked quite a bit on the v8vs. The owner has a V8V as well...
