I won’t worry about the dollar value of my Vantage. I’m not selling it. I’ll let my kids worry about that when I’m gone.

good way of thinking about it. I guess im just ready for a 6 speed (probally should have gotten that instead). And the F430 is starting to look really attractive to me.

I had a sportshift Vantage and traded it away. I missed the Vantage but not the sportshift. So I had to get another Vantage this time with a manual. I like it so much that it has become a permanent part of my collection. Will have to wait and see if the DB11 will stay with me for the long haul. So far it is a really nice car but I think I still like my Vantage better. The 430 is a nice car more modern but a manual 430 will cost you an extra hundred grand over the f1 transmission.

thats my dilemma Gene. Few years ago, aston dealer was giving me over 55k for mine and i was appalled. Not even sure what i would get now, but probally 40k. I should have done it and gotten the manual!

So my choices are:

Vantage Manual (Coupe or manual)
V12 vantage manual
F430.

Trade in the current vantage roadster. Or i was thinking another thing i could possibly do is just daily drive it! but cluth changes will get expensive!

We think alike. I got rid of my sportshift cars and went with the 2012 V12 manual coupe, an 08 Manual roadster and an 09 Manual 430 spider. Bought the 430 before the prices went up. I'm good to go.

Can you give me details of the f430. How many miles and how much did you get it for

007JB 01-16-2019 10:48 PM

IMO-V8 Vantage with manual trans will bottom out in low 60's & will start going up.... it's getting very hard to find v8 manuals with low miles. Personally for me v8 manual is better than v12, but that's my opinion. I drove all v12 manual & sport shift cars, owned v8 sport shift & v8 manual (currently own) V12 feels little unbalanced. too heavy in front.
Sportshift will go do 30's . if you have good color combo car with low miles & good service record, you can still get 40-50k. all depends on year, condition....

@007JB did not specify which currency.

007JB 01-17-2019 12:14 PM

I don't see any car year 2013 & up, with under 10k miles, with no accidents & clean service records for under 60K, if you found one, thats pretty good deal.
