every once in a while someone will get on the forum and ask what people do for a living. hilarity ensues. read for enlightenment.

i bought my AM when I was 27. i'm now at the ripe old age of 29. age is irrelevant. character matters.

i suck at poker. actually, i just suck at gambling. congrats on your success lol.

single, no kids, two dogs, work lots, no life.

 

LOL easy come, easy go.

 

Oh yeah, IMO Masers are fugly wannabe exotics. No comparison at all in terms of beauty between any Aston and any Maser.

i looked at the Maseratis for a bit and concluded the AM's just exuded a lot more class and seemed more reliable.

 

What about pre -08? I want to land at around €55k/$75k and for that money you only get -06 and -07. Maybe you can get -08 in the US for 75k but I have to pay another 35-40% on top of that for shipping, tax etc (if I buy in the US that is)

 

Buddie,

Nothing wrong with the 4.3L V8Vs -- they're great cars.

 

Buddie if you get the 4.3 try to get the AML PowerPack.

 

With no experience personally, just co workers that have had the cars... I say go with the Aston! Pure beauty!

 

I can speak on the Maser GT as I have had one for quite awhike, had a Ferrari 360 before it. The GT has been 100% bullet proof for me not one issue, just regular maint. and tires and thats it. I was also contemplating a V8V but the one I wanted the owner kept messing around and then the new Ford Fusion that looks way to much like a Vantage came out so I went w/ the Gt and no disappointments at all. Great all around car not to small, nice and sporty and gorgeous from every angle! Im only selling mine because I have a short attention span w/ all cars and always looking to try something new. When they come down in price in a year or two I will most likely come back to the brand and get a Mc stradale, just a sick car IMHO. I still would like to own a Vantage as well but will probably wait until the V12 comes down in price a little.
