Hey guys,

I'm starting to strongly consider parting ways with my V12V as some upcoming life changes could benefit from less liabilities. Bottom-line, I've been trying to do as much research, and curious on your thoughts to what my V12V is worth.

Based off my research in the current market, I'm thinking around $150k~... Thoughts?

2011 Aston Martin V12 Vantage, Carbon Black Edition
6100-miles, 2nd Owner, Clean Title, Warranty until 11/2014
California car, no rain, inclement weather; always garaged
Service up to date, all records/receipts on everything, docs/manuals.

Modificaitons:
- 20" HRE P101 Wheels (Finish: Brushed Tinted Clear)
- Nitto INVO Tires, 255/30 Fronts & 305/25 Rears
- H&R Lowering Springs with aluminum spring spacers (custom)
- Gloss Black Painted Window Trim
- Aluminum skid plate (custom)

I'll try not to bore you from pictures from my other thread:

Nice car. Unfortunately the mods do not add value so you don't get any money back on them. If you still have the original wheels to go with the car I would say it will probably sell in the $140 plus range. However, since you are in California you just might get the right guy with money to spend so I would start at $150-$155 and see what happens. You can always come down. Good luck with it.

 

I've always admired the look of your car (and the previous one). You might be better off putting on the set of original wheels (if you still have them) and selling the HREs separately. Otherwise you will lose their value in the sale.

 

I think $150k+ is optimistic. Unfortunately, these cars have depreciated significantly.

 

DoubleLow7,

Just got a V12V CB (2011) a few months ago. Asking prices for nice, low mileage cars were in the $150s from Aston dealers, $140s from non-Aston dealers (Miller Motorcars excepted--they seem to operate in a pricing universe separate from reality). I believe a 2012 V12V CB with low miles just sold at Lake Forest Aston Martin (Chicago). It was advertised for $144K (which seemed low-ish to me) but I don't know what it actually sold for.

Warranty and service records are a big plus but selling privately can take time. Karl Franz's post on selling his car though is a model of what to do right. I agree with others that when I was shopping for a car, I wanted something as non-modified as possible. Good luck!

Really - Are you kidding- boring, no way! Thanks for sharing pics. Absolutely a great looking Aston Martin. Looks impeccable!! - Photos are super, records and warranty in hand. Your looking for 1 special buyer for one special car. I kinda agree with the comments regarding the stock wheels (if you have them) but I would not wait till the warranty window closes or winter time. $150K is not an unreasonable starting point IMHO.
Good luck!

 

The price seems a bit high. Dupont has a few V12V below the price and one 2012 Carbon Black 1 owner at an Aston dealer for 145k. You figure after haggling that price is 137-140k.

I'd also advertise the car as stock, remove all the aftermarket bits, and sell them separate since you won't get your money back. Your car will also be less desirable to many prospects with the mods.

 

I love Carbon Black.
