I know! Literally almost none, especially since you hardly use the brakes. I think brake fluid flush every couple years is the extent of it.

Was this from Sacramento? I literally called this dealer a few days ago and they told me it was spoken for! That's ok, it's still winter here in Michigan and I should wait for my new raptor to get delivered this month before I keep Aston shopping. Looked like a great buy though!

congrats on a beautiful ride!

Yes, that's the one. There were only 4 09+ manuals in the country when I was looking. Interestingly, I'm from Michigan and the AM was originally sold out of Troy. Destiny! Enjoy the Raptor, my buddy has a previous generation and I love it.

At least Aston made a decent number of manuals so prices are not 1.5x their auto counterparts like is happening with Ferrari and other exotics.

Welcome! And I have an i3 Rex (and other electrics) in my stable as well. Actually love that car and I've "jail broken" it to utilize the full 2.4l range of the extender. Plus free parking at the meters in Santa Monica and car pool lane access. 👍👍👍

I still look every now and then and saw that one, definitely a sweet V8. Congrats on getting one so fast!
