You’re right, perhaps I would have paid even mire than the guy who bought from under me.
I‘m just surprised there was absolutely No communication. Really is bad business.
Oh well, on to the next

What are your specs? I'll keep a lookout for you.

Happened to my few weeks ago when I was buying a f430. Offer accepted, and went to go pay 2 days later and sold.

My motto is always, first with money gets the car.

Thanks for the lookout...I ended up picking up a Morning Frost white DBS at Marshall Goldman, pretty much similar to the one I was looking at originally.
I guess lesson is, if serious, pay deposit....
great to be back in an Aston. This is my 4th one.

Now I’m considering an exhaust....anyone familiar with or have Velocity AP?

Sounds like a great pickup congrats!

Im in the process of installing the VAP power pack on my DBS, it currently has a Quicksilver Supersport backbox (which sounded great by itself), but looking forward to hearing and driving it after the tune/headers/high flow cats etc.... I’ll post up some info when it’s complete.

Awesome, congrats! Hopefully we’ll see you at the meet on the 9th!

I actually just finished my custom exhaust last week and love it. Currently this is the only video I have recorded of it:
