Congrats! I have had my rockers and front sprayed twice already from road rash. The aston paint is soft but easy to match. You are in store for some memorable drives!

Zvez,

Good one!
Go over the car with a magnifying glass, a year is over before you know it.
I only opted for 6 months. I've been back at the shop 2 times for minor repairs.
(minor means less then €2000.)
Now i just found out my license plate lighting came loose in the bumper...


Regards. Ben

HI guys,
Thanks very much for the warm greetings. Talked with Brian today at the dealership, fingers crossed it'll be delivered first week in May sometime!

Had an added bonus, in addition to the thorough check they have to do to certify pre-owned. He sent me a copy of the last service done Dec 2013, annual service, new tires, all fluids changed, a couple small parts damaged replaced so really good to hear.
Can't wait.

My thought is with the factory warranty I can pile a lot of miles on it and any issues will hopefully arise then, aside from standard non-covered wear items.

Just talked to the truck driver 1-3pm tomorrow! I'll take pics (I don't take good pics, but I'll take pics).

Capetown, many fond memories of several trips there in the past! Prettiest city I've ever been to.

It's here, so officially an aston owner now! Truck brought it in, and as Ellipsis mentioned this car is incredibly good condition. I could only find one or two minor paint chips. Right front wheel was low on air pressure, may have been a loose valve stem core so will check that tomorrow.
A bonus, the car came with AM cover, AM battery conditioner, the AM umbrella, couldn't find the pen, where would that be?

A few pics of incredibly bad quality.
