Is this anyone on the forum? I think its kind of high miles no? There was a 2010 mercury silver on red interior, manual with only 3k miles that was same priced......so this is kind of high isnt it?

The link says titanium silver but it looks more like lightning silver to me.

I have been wanting a v8v for the longest time so I know a little too much about it!
The previous owner debadged the "Vantage" sign if that bothers you. (I would want it untouched) He also changed the front grille to the 2010+, which had 6 bars, instead of 8 bars found in the 2006-2009 models. Looks like he added a front carbon fiber lip and rear carbon fiber diffuser. I don't know if that was aftermarket or through Aston. I believe Aston had the carbon fiber kit but can't recall if it had the front lip or not??
The 5 spoke sport pack wheels are classic. I love the look. I think it 2010+, they changed the sport design wheels. It looks pretty clean though and seemed like previous owner took care of it.

I would probably try to get a 2010. 2009 is when they first introduced the new 4.7L engine. So usually with new introductions, there are usually issues and kinks that they need to get out of the way first. 2010 had more standard features, but I can't remember what they were.

Deleting the Vantage badge is a factory option. The carbon fiber front lip and rear diffuser look like the factory kit (on my cell phone so I might be wrong). Plus the clear tail lights and side sills... Looks like they did a lot of factory updates. Looks fantastic to me from what I can see.

But I agree, for the money a 4.7L might be worthwhile. If you're okay with the 4.3L then this one looks great.

This is a 4.7l but the first year. I was suggesting to get the 2nd year of the 4.7l, which is a 2010 model. There just aren't that many manuals out there compared to a year ago. Prices have appreciated. I have been in the market for close to a year, waiting patiently for my color combination to pop up. So far, nothing matches.
