Any updates cymario?

I see the car is still listed on the used website, and indeed the price has been reduced, so has the sale fallen through? If so, what happened

Lets hope cymario did pull out as thats a big chunk off the price.

Indeed, I was wondering as much and thought it might be cymario's non-refundable deposit that had been taken off the asking price!

Non refundable ? really?

Was mildly tongue-in-cheek, but I wouldn't put it past some dealers, although perhaps not AM dealers. I'll add a wink smiley this time

[cayman-black]

Well cymario has disappeared lets hope is is alright

Quite embarrassingly, Unfortunately I had to pull out because of one reason or another, but will be in the market again within the next month or so and if it's still available I will be giving them a call. They returned the deposit without any trouble and acted very professionally, as you would expect from a main dealer of such a brand.

It is a shame as the car seemed to be in a good spec and I was looking forward to it.

I am surprised however that they immediately reduced the asking price to below the level that we had agreed on so it seems that I was going to pay too much for it.

I plan to keep my eye closely on the market as it is definately still the V12VS manual that I plan to go for.

Its good to hear from you, and good that you are well and everything is basically all OK! Sounds like things might turn out for the best anyway - it sure is a lovely car, so even if you end up buying the same car a month from now you will have saved a few ££££ too!

Keep in touch with the forum!

Dealers are not helping with residuals

Frankly a kick in the teeth to those who just bought a car at list

I think those who bought new did so for a specific reason, to get the exact car they want.

Of course we'd all like residuals to stay strong, but as hornbaek has said previously, it's only existing customers these appeal too. Ferrari and Porsche drivers aren't going to suddenly notice it as a car they want at this stage of the lifecycle.

I'd be interested to know if anyone who has bought one hasn't at some point owned a Vantage before, most like an original V12V.

I really don't think anyone seriously thought these were going to be depreciation proof like the GT12/GT8/Zagato ltd cars.

Adam is a good example, but I'm sure there are others in the same position, where they got to spec up their own ultimate spec V12V, and therefore I hope whatever the values do, it doesn't change that fact.

It's ok though, you can retro add those lightweights for 25 grand....

Hi guys. Some advice please.

As some of you know, I very recently had to pull out of buying a demo V12VsM and may have to wait a couple of months before being in a position to buy one. As I am very impatient by nature I have started looking at buying a V12Vs with the sportshift as older cars are available and therefore are cheaper.

I am looking at a roadster 2015/15 with 7100 miles that an Aston dealer has this week taken into stock. It is in Morning frost white, 1 owner from new as is described as 'immaculate'

I wander if any of you have any experience with these and could help me with the following:
1, What is the gearbox actually like in these?
2, Is the roadster a good prposition, will I be able to sell it on when the time comes?
3, What would be a reasonable price to pay for it? Their retail price is £116,950

Thank you

[cymario]

This is the car which is shown with it's spare set of winter wheels and tyres. It will also have the diamond cut wheels as well so will come with 2 sets.

January buying a roadster.....you're not going to go wrong price wise i'm sure.

Not being funny but the only way you'll ever know what the gearbox is like is by driving one. I think it's bloody good.....but still bought a manual. However, I certainly wouldn't rule out buying a V12S SS in the future, definitely not.....in fact I more than likely will at some point. Everyone has an opinion, but when push comes to shove it's your money you're laying down, make sure you're happy, not us lot.

Also....Morning Frost.......a st colour

Have you tried test driving both the SSIII and 7spd dogleg boxes? I would suggest you give both a go before buying blind again. They are both great gearboxes but both seem to be fairly marmite, so I would strongly suggest a test drive as you might not like either one.

There are plenty of each to choose from, so take your time and get the right car this time.
