So, 1,5 years have passed

And what a wonderful time it has been.

In terms of reliability.


Nothing has gone wrong. well apart for a parking sensor fault that would come and go on occasion.


Other than that, the car has been flawless.

Compared to my R8 which over the same time had the following replaced

magnetic ride $$$$$
oil temp sensor$
fuel cap locking mechanism$$
AC condensor replaced x 2 $$$


One worry though.

It took me 2 months to sell it… and only 2 people were interested, and I got 1500 USD less than what I paid 1,5 years ago. Now I think that the reason it was a hard sell, much harder than I have ever tried before, was most likely down to the color combo, with gray exterior and white seats… a combo that looked good in person, but perhaps not as much on paper. Compared with the R8, I must have had 50 emails and a bnch of strange offers...

When I say I only lost 1500 USD, then that is a truth with modifications.

Here are the costs

Yearly service 1500 USD

Sports exhaust and other mods 2500 USD




So, I guess that my total cost is 5500 USD for 1,5 years of ownership and 6000miles 10000 km… which is next to nothing in the bigger scope....


On that note… let the hunt begin.

Pictures of white seats? Interested to see what that looked like

+1 for interior pics. I love light interiors, but am always paranoid about clothing dyes staining things.

here are som interior pics.

and car wise, not quite sure... yet.. but smth gotta give

That's a nice color combo...

I too like the combo..

At any rate, I do not know why there was not so much interest in the car... it was competitively priced, with an 6 months warrenty option, combined with good and informative add..

Could be that the weather is just to hot right now for anybody to do anything.. and I do not see any of the other Vantages being shipped that are for sale here..

Regardless, sad to see her leave, but so much fun to search for the next project..
