Alpine1M is infamous around these parts
Aston Martin dealerships with reasonable prices?

Do they exist in the US?

I need a few interior trim pieces, but since my car has a US-based VIN, ordering pieces that must be made-to-order (a Phantom Grey leather door panel cap in my case) have to be made through a US dealership. First, I don’t have a local dealership. Second, the prices received from the one I called were absolutely absurd...nearly twice what I’d pay if ordered from the UK.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It's like US drug prices vs those in Europe. We get the shaft here. At least with AM prices you can understand why, since there are far fewer dealerships than in the UK. With drugs, we are the biggest user by far, so you'd think we should have lower prices. Always the shaft.

One idea: find a UK VIN for a car with phantom gray and then use that VIN to order from a dealer over there?

I order my parts through Aston Martin Bits - often (in my experience) about 1/2 the price of the dealers.

Can try my local AM dealer in Waltham, MA. If you want contact details, you can PM me.

They often discount parts, but that discount is based on what the computer screen says the part costs. I bet all US dealerships get the same price when they look up the part. Can you use a UK VIN to just order the part over there? Go to a car site and find a car for sale in UK with same color trim and use that VIN when ordering.

Used to be great, but HWM won't ship to North America anymore.

If it's for dash consider going to upholstery shop and have them match color. The parts are easy to remove
