Very strange that there are a few white Vantage / Mans trans options are for sale at the moment.
I was hunting 1.5 years for my baby.

When I was looking for a Vantage, I never ran into an S with a manual trans. Did not have "the book" at the time so I thought maybe there was just no such thing as a manual S

Best and only way to answer...drive them and see which one you can stop looking at, smiling about driving.

This what I would say, It is all about color. options, condition and price. Every one knows what is most important for themselves with a purchase this big.

UPDATE: Deal Done, Fly 'n' Drive set for December 29th.

Purchased a 2013 V8VS in White, Manual Trans, Stratus White, Premium Audio, 15K miles.....blah, blah, blah. I pick it up in Houston, TX on the 29th and I'll drive it back to Atlanta! Already got the satin black Niche Essen 20"s on order with a +40 offset on the rear and +35 on front. I saw with this setup/stance in my searching and just loved it.

Very excited, never thought I'd ever own an Aston Martin, let alone a relatively new(ish) one.

This forum has been incredible so far and I'm looking forward to giving back to it.

Congrats! You will enjoy it. I have satin black 20's on mine (meteorite silver) and it fits the wheel well great... a little over the width and i added mud flaps on the front

Congrats to you!!

Big congratulations! I completely understand your excitement over this car. Great to see another stratus white V8V, 6 speed car in Georgia. Let Jason Pannell check it over for you. Enjoy the ride!!

Congratulations!!! She sounds awesome!
Share some pictures!!!!

Texas seems to be a good source for white Aston purchases since I bought my Stratus white, mans trans, premium audio and 6k miles Vantage in Dallas back in 2016. :)

#1 White with blue would be a cool combo. I like stuff thats a little diff.

Yeah, that car was beautiful. Only reason i didn't buy it was because the 2013 V8VS was the same price as the 2010...(2013 has Premium Audio, more HP and all the model updates you get with a 2012+ car as compared to a 2010).

That said, I plan to buy the same wheels and body blackouts to make my car look like that 2010. it was very cool, and the blue leather was very nice too.

I'm with Irish on this- if Centenary 23 wasn't the *only* manual made... I would have opt'd for a SSII.

It's a great tranny. Congrats on the purchase!

Congrats on your purchase! You will enjoy the car. It’s a real beauty. I find myself spending more time in the garage lately.

Congratulations, hope to see you and your car around town.
