Hello to the board, Have been looking for that V8V and have may found it!,,2006 with 28,000 miles, full service records with no issues as far as I can tell. Silver/blackcin color. Hight 50's..Recent new clutch and brakes

My only issue is the color combination, not my favorite, but an easy resealer if needed.

would like to get feedback.

Thanks

 

That would be a 4.3
Have you bought Grants "definitive guide"? that should answer questions you didn't even know you had
I'd try and stretch to an early 4.7 if you can.

 

Thanks. I have the book..very informative!! Would love an 09..but it's going to be a third car, and I have a limited budget.

 

There are no real issues on the early Vantages that I'm aware of. I have a 2007 which is essentially the same car and its been like any other car, there's nothing crazy to have to watch out for. Just be aware that parts can be VERY costly on certain parts of the car, mainly those that are Aston Specific. But, since they raided the Ford/Jaquar/Volvo parts bin for a number of sub-assemblies, sometimes you can use those parts for replacement and they're much less costly than those with the Aston Martin logo on the plastic bag they come in.

It's probably the coolest car you can buy in the $ 50K range. When I was at the DE event on Monday, a number of Ferrari owners came up to me and commented on how much they liked mine. A 458 Italia owner as well as a 612 Owner were shocked when I told them they can have one just like mine for no more than $ 70K....lol

 

I have an 07 too and I'm very happy with it. Over the last 3 years I've out 23K miles on it. No major issues at all... (fingers crossed). I've up-dated it with V8Vantage S wheels, a CF lip spoiler and a V12 Vantage front grill. Other mods were 200 cell cats, Miltek exhaust and RSC air filters. Despite the car being 6+ years old I still get "thumbs-up" and many compliments. It's sublime to drive and with the modifications is fast enough (well I do want a V112 but that will have to wait)... Anyway, be happy with your car, drive it as it's healthier for the car to be driven on a weekly basis. Good luck & enjoy it!
