FWIW, I think you'll be surprised what we can get you for a trade-in. We just offered $59K on a 2007 Manual Coupe with 6,000 miles, which is pretty darn close to retail. If you want to get into one of the new cars let me know and we will make it work for you
What is the projected delivery date, i.e., order today and deliver when?

And, so I'm hearing a build and ship timeframe of 4 months.

Gas Guzzler and Luxury are extra.

I have to agree. The bigger impact might actually be on the V12 because it creates a bigger gap and thus might pull those prices down.

Last I checked there was no Luxury tax. Unless some states have it. Since NJ doesn't have it, and NJ has almost every tax possible, I wouldn't think any state would have it.

The V12 is a completely different car and I believe the depreciation or desire is not related to the V8V.

I think everybody knows that the reason Aston did the AMG deal is to get access to drivelines, engines and transmissions. They stuff they have doesn't cut it anymore, which is well documented here. Just read the threads. The transmissions have been a long time sore point, and even more so with the recent Vantage and Vanquish reviews. Even the One-77 had transmission critics yapping. Aston is not competitive without a DSG.

They may also get electrical infrastructure, but I have not seen that specifically announced.

I agree, the V12V is a unique car entirely. My question is, do we really see the 06 & 07 cars dropping in value that much? I have seen numerous vehicles sell in the low 50's, but can't believe these prices will continue to drop.

What I don't understand are the number of 'V8V Base' cars which are selling for the same price as 'V8Vs' models...

I dont see vantages ever going for less than DB7s so the 06-08 are probably close to the bottom already except for a few advertised at prices they are unlikely to get

V8 Vantages are already, in some cases, less than DB7 Vantages (Volantes). I expect the price overlap to continue to the point where early V8 coupes are less than pristine late V12 volantes on a regular basis. It is all about numbers. 4000 DB7 Vantages vs a bazillion V8 Vantages.

A couple of people asked me for info on Paint Colours, and since there's been some discussion on the topic, thought some info might be useful.

DRPC – Paint Contemporary – 1595.00
MTOP – Paint Other Manufacturer’s Special Colour – 6380.00
ASPC – Paint Special AML Colour – 5380.00
NSPC – Paint Previous AML Colour – 3785.00
NNPC – Paint Other Manufacturer’s Colour – 4545.00
MTSP – Paint Match to Sample – 12,115.00

This configurator is for the DB9 – but it shows you what the ‘Contemporary’ range includes as well as ‘Special’. For example, you could go Quantum Silver as a ‘Contemporary’ selection and that’s only $1595 additional, which is pretty reasonable. My understanding was that part of the reason for limiting colours was to help improve delivery times but if you don't like the GT Colour range you can order outside of it.

This is a cool option. I would love to have an Aston in Ferrari's or Lamborghini's medium gray.
