I have just withdrawn my add. Can't get myself to sell it. For a short period of time i tried to be reasonable as I have an F12 coming but than might be months away so I'll deal with that when it arrives. In the meantime i'll enjoy my V12V.

Boooooooooo, you've spoilt dreams for at least 6 of us today Christian! enjoy and we'll watch with interest when it becomes available again..

Sorry for all the disappointed people who have been in touch but it is a cracking car so my apologies. I have been away on the Continent all week on business and thought i needed to be a bit reasonable when I sat alone in my hotel room and posted the add. I quick glance into the garage this evening upon my return changed all that.

It looks lovely and well looked after, don't blame you for changing your mind maybe you just needed a reality check to realise you need to keep it

Christian's looked nice, as does the one on Bournemouth but I'm now being offered unregistered cars for £107K, I don't know which way to go....

Best not to post stuff like that - it doesnt help residuals!

[kbird]

That's what worries me!

Not a good idea to buy any car based on residuals.

I really do struggle with how this works. AML announce that V12V production is finished and you hear of unregistered cars being offered for that price Now is the time of the year that people buy cars such as this so wouldn't you think that dealers would hold out for £135k'sh rather than discounting so rapidly. People will pay near to list if the car is scarce (the V12VR pre-production cars are an example of that) and these are only going to get scarcer. AML must have sold them to the dealers at a very attractive price to enable them to take the approach they are doing and therefore condoning it.

I have no idea what is happening at Aston but it sounds to me like they are working very hard on getting money in quickly to the detriment of the Brand and owners like us.

Look forward to seeing it back up for sale at £61k !

[Cockernee]

Kevin, it is likely that in 2 years it will be worth £80K ish maybe 85, but to a dealer less, so if you gamble on 80K, then it will be depreciation over 2 years of £27K or a second hand one with a 2 year depreciation of say £10K. Only you can make that decision as to whether you can stomach £27K of your money being eaten in depreciation?

However, bearing in mind they are not making this model anymore, will values stabilise or will a new 640BHP monster V12V with flappy paddle kick the old model residuals. Who knows and frankly, I don't care. I only know that I love driving mine and I only live once, that is why I bought one 2 years old and let some poor bugger with more money than me take a pill

Just buy one, with lightweight seats

Some poor chap took a hit on mine at 1.5 years old (so why not let them), and definitely get the lightweight seats

Well said you only live once. One drive of a V12V will convince you.
