Discussion
Not as sought after as a manual, but with the exception of running costs, your downside is fairly limited, but might suffer a touch with the weight of the number of Vanquish that are out there at the moment (76 for sale AT). Subject to mileage I reckon that car should be anywhere between 90 - 110k ...just a ball park. Any higher than that I'd be tempted with a Vanquish which is Tiptronic anyway. To put the Tiptronic/Manual imbalance into perspective, right now on AT there are 15 Tiptronics and 0 manuals. If you don't care about a manual then you have plenty of choice.

Personally I think they're a lovely car to look at but not particularly dynamic to drive.
I agree with this. There's so much else at this price that is more of an event to actually drive. Personally I think they're a lovely car to look at but not particularly dynamic to drive.
I'd have one because they look lovely but then I think than vanquish (both original and new) look better.
Manual price differential will be short lived as less and less people are that bothered about them. Frankly i think auto suits a DBS.

Can't understand why you say not particularly dynamic to drive - what are you comparing this to?Personally I think they're a lovely car to look at but not particularly dynamic to drive.

Popped into HWM Walton a few weeks back and they had just sold a manual BDS for £125K.
Didn't check mileage I'm afraid.
Heard a few people regret selling their DBS's and buy/look to buy another.

I'm not denying that prices are up on manuals but I feel its a bubble and it's time limited.
I sat down with McKinsey to run through their 10 year outlook and the landscape is changing dramatically. Without going into too much detail, the market for manuals is as small as the number of cars. The market will shrink but the number of cars will mostly remain the same.

I think that its down to choice at the end of the day and with that in mind we are all correct
