There is a really nice 23 V12 Vantage for sale right now on one of the online auction sites. 48 miles on the clock.

I'm pretty positive I cannot post a link to it, but a very familiar auction site. The car has one more full day to go.

 

I'm watching that one as well. One thing about that white car is the hood panel gaps...the passenger side looks way out of joint. A couple weeks ago another v12 red color car auctioned to about $75k below MSRP (did not sell).

Auto-trader has about ten v12's for sale. There is a green v12 Q at an AM dealer in Illinois with a huge $480K MSRP....maybe the highest v12 MSRP car in the US.

 

Great looking car for sure. Though 2023 and we are still talking about panel gaps for our marque. Wasn't Tobias supposed to sort that out on the production floor?

 

Unfortunately it was such a poor design from day 1 when Andy Palmer unveiled it. I don't think much can be done to rectify it. This generation of Vantage is a mishmash of curves and oddities.

wow, the gaps on right front, wow $300+k car.......

yes, too many aero panels going weird directions, this and that, design didn't work for me either. Never liked the new DBS, DB11 fender vents either..

 

They tried to make a "next generation" car that was exciting and that could also bring in new buyers, similar to how some of the Italian and German cars do it, while still maintaining something "different" than all those others. Unfortunately what they did is create hideous designs when compared to the absolutely beautiful Vantage/DB9/Vanquish designs. This generation of Aston design is terrible, IMO.

 

I saw one of these last Saturday on Angeles Crest in a dark green color. Sorry to say but it looked really great! Very exotic. I think the V12 has a little too much going on and I think that every one of them should have been delivered without a wing but that's just me. It's so rare to see another Aston out on the road--even more rare to see one of 300.

 

Agreed. I saw a light blue one on the lift at the dealership. Fantastic. Looked amazing. I don't get what everyone is talking about.

I bet the panel gap can be fixed at the dealer. Adjusting the clam shell a little.

 

I'm not a fan of the current car but, to be fair (and assuming it's the white one BaT), the panel gap looks so bad because the hood wasn't closed properly on the right side.

 

That's good to know if that was the case..if not the QC guy needs to be fired...

Auction result bid to $288K, $90K below MSRP...did not sell...this is similar to the one a couple weeks ago. Market has spoken and does not see this as $350k+ car even limited to 100 cars in USA...not surprising. Stroll needs to work on the brand value proposition..you can't build a valued brand that loses 25% once you roll the car off the lot...never happens to Ferrari.

 

This car at least has an Aston Martin engine, unlike the current V8s. Stroll (and ex-CEO Moers) is killing Martin Martin imo. He's all about "branding" and not about the substance. He thinks you can make an Aston out of a Benz if you "brand" it well enough -- the off-the-shelf Benz V8 (that it's a good engine is irrelevant) is the just first step.
