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.

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!

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!

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

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....

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.
