There seems to be different opinions on the price. In California, you CANNOT get an 07 vantage with 10k miles without a story for $60k. It has to be yellow, or purple, or 3+ owners, accident, etc.

That being said, if anyone is willing to sell their 2007+ vantage with less than 10k miles with all service records, no accidents in primo condition, in a color that is not yellow, blue, purple, or red, let me know and I will buy it Seriously, though, i will buy it.

oh I guess the Yellow is not a color to buy then ??
the car i'm looking at is actually yellow.

what's wrong with yellow ?
They have bas resale value ? it's too flashy to be on aston ??

Personally I like yellow a lot.

Is yellow is the color that's not get along with AM ? Odd ?

I mean I can see that red lambo is odd to me or like burgundy ferrari look stupid to me.


please advise me in AM world.

Hey Tunedgoody,

I'm not saying yellow is a bad color, I just think that there are fewer people out there that would prefer it to another color. If it is yellow, I think i saw this posting a few months ago. The seller started advertising at 69,999, then 67,999 and so on. ( If my memory serves me right, pictures were taken with the harbor in the background?) I can tell you that if it were black, silver, white, etc, etc....it probably would not be at the price point it's at now.

But if you like it, that's all that matters. And getting it at that price is a good value.

I just reread your post. I actually love Red Lambo's...... So, I guess, to each his own. If you're buying it to enjoy it, then do it! You'll love the car; Aston's have a way of making the driver feel special!

Yellow on an Aston has a very small customer base
A UK dealer near me recently sold a yellow roadster for A LOT less than he started at after 18 months.

To me yellow is not a colour that I would consciously seek when buying an Aston. Nothing against the colour, I would have a Gallardo in yellow without hesitation, it's just that Astons (or their buyers LOL!) are "supposed" to a bit more civilised and I'm not sure that the surface language is as suited to yellow as other cars might be. That being said, some people say similar about my black Aston, so if you like it I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Milkey's point about the customer base is a good one. So make sure you get it for an appropriate price, then when/if you ever sell it any price adjustments that you end up making wont matter too much.

interesting .......

Thank you guys. Very good input.

I change car often. Probably every 6 months.
If yellow is deal killer , I might have to think about it more.

I like car that be able to sell easy in future.

Actually, scrub that. I just noticed that you live in CA. San Fran no less, so yellow should be right up you street. LOL!

Get a PPI and you should be all set.

FYI. Color can be more important in resale value than options....even if you can live with the color combo for the price, remember, someday you will need to sell it!
