This is just criminal
One of our other service techs sent me these pics . 
She is residing in the basement parking garage of a very high end very expensive downtown condo .
The owner walks by it every day to get to his winter beater beemer .
So either his girlfriend left him so he doesnt need to impress her anymore .
He cant afford the insurance and high test gas .
Or its broke down and he cant afford the repairs .
Guess its either condo fees or the car and the car lost .
You would think he would wash her and throw a cover over her .
Some people just dont care .

Idk about Ottawa, but many places have a process for acquiring an abandoned vehicle. Usually involves trying to contact the owner and allowing them a period of time to reply. Might be worth looking into it... at worst, the owner does something with the car; at best, it becomes yours for relatively little money.

Its not abandoned, the owner lives in the condo building where its parked and walks by it twice a day .

A couple of vehicles are like this in some high end garages here. I've personally seen this on:
- Viper
- Corvette
- Rolls Royce Wraith
- BMW e39 M5
- Couple of Porsche 911s
In all cases it seemed like the owner was out of the country for extended periods of the time (from people whom I knew lived in the buildings) - such a shame

$10G is a little low but if you get it for that price it would be a great project car for sure... Do you know the year and from the pictures I can't tell if it is a Vanquish S or not... Keep me posted, we should meet some day as we are both local :-)

Rep Power: 31 Im only guessing its a 2007/8 Vanquish by the headlight shape .
I thought the 12s had four vents in the hood ?
I think 10Gs is a starting point . It could have four trashed tires no brakes dead motor trashed clutch and a hole in the block for all I know . The interior may smell like a combination of dead mice and cat p#@$..
If it has all of the above then Im not interested at any price .
Quick google and it could be a 12 cyl model . Only two vents on the hood . Headlight shape is also good for an 07/8 model .
Any ideas Vanquish gurus ?

It can only be a 2001-2005 V12 if it is not an S and 2005-2006 V12 if it is an S as the S didn't sell in North America for 2007 when the production finished in July of 2007. Either way it is a very nice piece of Aston Martin history
I would return it to its glory days...
