2009 V8V 10 years of ownership

Posting some pics of my car to commemorate the 10 years that I have had it.
Car has been solid for me. Other than the clutch at 35K and regular services nothing on the car has broken.
I am now at 50K miles and it has been quite reliable but maybe its time to sell it as I don't drive it much.

Looks great especially for 50k miles... my 2009 has less than 24k great mods as well, very tasteful. Now that my daughter graduated from from college, I'm going to start some more mods on mine

Thank you. I took good care of the car but it also seems to age pretty well compared to many other brands I have owned long term.

Good looking car with perfect mods. Should have no trouble selling.

That looks great. I have owned my 2007 for 11 years and have also had a very reliable experience (clutch change at 40K). From time to time I think about selling but currently the prices seem relatively low. I'm hoping the less than well received new Vantage will eventually boost the old model's value. I have the roadster and it's always nice to break out on those convertible days.

My 2006 just rolled 80k

You have another 30k of smooth sailing should you keep it.. or mention that to the new owner..... Great looking White Vantage with the nicely done black accents and clear tail lights!

The carbonfiber front lip. Who makes it and where did you buy it? Your car look beautiful. I would keep it even if you don’t use it much. I have six cars and only really use one, but I enjoy all of them.

I actually have the same lip brand new never installed. I ended up going with the other version. Let me know if you're interested.

All the carbon parts on the car is made by Oya Carbon from China. Quality of the carbon and the fit is very good. I had the clear coat changed to satin finish.

Show me any other car that is 10 years old that looks as good as a vantage? You have a stunning car, myself not a fan of white but your car looks fantastic in white

these cars have aged aged well and still look the part

of course I'm a vantage owner and this may be a biased opinion
