Finally got my AM wings!

Hello to All,


Newbie here wanting to introduce myself and just say hi.


I was initially working with my local AM dealer on a brand new 2016 V8 Vantage GT in Skyfall silver with SportShift. However another vehicle caught my eyes while visiting the dealership. Fast forward three weeks later, I found myself driving home a near brand new 2014 V8 Vantage with less than 1,700 miles on the clock in Tungsten silver over Obsidian black with red stitching. Couldn't be happier with the 6-spd trans and over $33K in saving. Hoping I would be able to contribute to this board and the AM community in the future.


In the meanwhile, here are a few quick iPhone pics of my new pride&joy.

Bought a new 2014 V8V in May.
Volcano red/black with 6 speed manual.
I am not aware of any significant differences between the 14s and the 16s.
Great colors
Congratulations

Wow,what a beauty! Great choice on the color combo and trans. What dealer did you buy from? And good job on the deal that is a huge savings, and still under warranty. I wonder why someone would trade in such a new car.

The 355 looks good as well. I traded my 355 for my V8V.

Thank you all for the warm welcome and kind words.


Yes, car came from AM Newport Beach.


and no wood dash, it's piano black instead. Perhaps photo didn't show very well...


I'll try to get some nicer photos in a few days time.


I'm very happy with this car so far. It's a nice balanced blend of luxury and sportiness. A perfect car at this stage of my life I'd say.


I suppose I can post up a couple of more photos for now....


Is it ok by you people's standard for an Aston to sleep in a Ferrari stable and be trickle-charged by a Porsche CTek?? Hahaha
