Putting out a feeler…I'm considering selling my '07 V8 Vantage 6-speed coupe, bought here 2 years ago from a terrific private seller. Marvelous car but am looking for a 4-place sports car so I can take the entire family on my car adventures.

Rare and gorgeous Midnight Blue metallic on Caspian Blue hides w/ light gray stitching and headliner. Fully documented, no accidents, 100% stock, West Coast car until '19. 'Higher' mileage at 70k and consistently maintained….not a garage queen like most Astons. Fresh service, new brakes/Pilot 4S, newer clutch, needs nothing.

Car not advertised elsewhere or officially for sale yet. Come spring, I may get more serious and put it on BaT…or I might come to my senses and keep it. Give me a shout if you're in the market for one and I can give you a whole lot more information and context. Located in central Virginia.

Not interested in a DBX or Rapide?

 

@brightoncorgi Ah yes, 4-place Astons! WRT to the DBX, my daily is a '13 Cayenne GTS so i feel like i already have the 'performance SUV' thing covered. The Rapide has always attracted my eye....V-12 and easily the best looking 4-door sedan in modern history. But I'm really more of a vintage/analog guy ...hence the interest in the Mondial, 993, 928, E30, etc, all of which have enough room to fit small children in the back.

 

FYI: I am a huge Porsche guy (PCA member who owns both air-cooled and modern ones) and many people ask me how these compare to a contemporary 911. Long story, but I would summarize by saying the Aston is prettier, makes better noises, higher build quality and just feels more *special,* while still feeling very stout and reliable (arguably more so than the non-turbo 996/997.1, with its IMS/RMS and bore scoring issues). Handling wise, they are both phenomenal (AM weight distribution better than you expect for a front-engined car due to the design) and both feel pleasingly 'analog' compared to more modern cars. On the flip side, there are certain aspects of 911 ergonomics, driving position, practicality and sightlines that I prefer. Lastly, I feel a deeper connection to the P-car community than I do with Aston...simply a matter of being a much wider tent (nothing against Aston, they're just so uncommon its hard to find a community) and better dealer and indie mechanic support for Porsches than Aston where i live.
