The last gen Vantage started just over 100K USD this new Vantage is almost 50% more around 150K before options. It moved up in price without enough besides the badge to justify it. Visually I personally prefer the old Vantage and the interior design isn't to my liking. Remember always compare leases with 0 cap cost reduction not 1299 plus a cap cost reduction. 0 cap cost reduction is safer in case the car is ever written off as you won't get that back. Even the DB11 is having quite a bit of leftovers. I know we are talking new vs used but in the US a 2018 V12 DB11 can be had around 150K with around 2-3K miles. Average 100K off MSRP as a alternative. If the DB11 lost 100K already its hard to see it dropping below 100K after 3 years of use.

 

Most of my car buys have been new cars. My daily drive, a BMW X5, was a new car purchase. I’m far from a “never buy new” car guy...but I’d never buy an Aston new. They just depreciate far too quickly, and there are plenty of very low mileage cars a few years old for such great prices.

If the car retained its value like some other exotics, it would be a different story. But that’s not the way it is with these cars.

i’d buy a new Porsche GT3, for example...if that were my interest. Alas, I am interested in Astons....so I buy used.
