The cars seem pretty solid mechanically, its more of normal wear and tear stuff on the outside and inside, which will depend on how and where the previous owners drove it and how they took care of it.

 

Just for info, my dealer just quoted $5113 for one year or $8925 for two years for my 2019 Superleggera.
Thanks,

Thanks, guys. I have now spoken with the sales manager and confirmed that the car is still available.

 

In addition to better transmission buttons, can you tell me what items I'd be missing by not having the tech package? I've tried to find out online, but have been unsuccessful so far. (FWIW, the car is a 2020, not a 2019; I don't know if that makes any difference.)

 

what I found online:

Tech pack that adds blind-spot monitoring, an active park-assist system, power adjustment for the steering column, and glass switchgear. A Comfort pack will bring 16-way seat adjustment and seat heaters.

 

That seems to cover it, along with the obvious part of not having the touch pad. Not sure how important the touch pad is since mine has it and I tend to use the wheel for everything anyway.

When I was looking I figured it would be easy enough to swap the buttons, so the real nice-to-have part of that package for is the blind-spot monitoring, since that's only driver assist tech I find useful.

 

Oh, yeah, one other thing. On the 2019 model, the Tech Package includes Keyless Entry. For 2020 and newer its included on the car as a standard feature. Thus the full list for the 2019 model is:

"Keyless entry, blind spot monitoring, auto park assist, touchpad, glass switches, electronic steering column and cruise control"

 

Thanks for the additional information. That's very helpful.

 

I agree with the comments about dealers v independent specialists. However, there are certain jobs that require Aston Martin's proprietary AMDS system, and most independents won't have that. That said, I've only visited a dealer once in 8 years of ownership (to flash a new convertible roof module), so I've been willing to tolerate the 250 mile distance to my closest dealer.

 

Similar here..4 hour drive to my only am dealership..amds trips only…

 

ha! my nearest AM dealer is only twenty minutes away, but i still avoid it like the plague. to date, i've had only one large maintenance cost: an indy plugged my temp sensor back in for $1300. ...yup, it's under the intake manifold. smh.

 

I have a 660 miles plus 3.5 hour ferry ride to my nearest dealer. Luckily they fly in 3 or 4 times a year and service all of the local cars!

 

let me guess....you live in the Orkneys or Newfoundland, right?

 

Nope. New Zealand, South Island

 

that was my NEXT guess. ha
