What the heck is this?
Discussion
Was browsing through all the dealership websites and came up to this interior picture on the Mag Aston Martin site in Ohio. The steering wheel has an Aston badge on it, but I'm guessing it could just a Photoshop job—unless anyone here knows differently. (Not crazy about the design, btw)
What's really funny is quick check I just carried out in PH classifieds
Cheapest of each model (excl CAT D etc) as follows (in £s):
DB7 16.5k (5 cars between 16.5k & 20k)
V8 Vantage 29k (4/5 cars between 29 & 30k)
DB9 29k (3 cars between 29 & 30k)
Cygnet 19k (just 4 available, next car up is 21.5k, next two 25k each)
So the market values them at somewhere between a DB7 and a DB9/V8 Vantage and since they were announced as being discontinued, prices have firmed up at the bottom - before that the odd one was mid teens but since then, high teens is the lowest you'll see one advertised for.
Seems that those who have them like them and when they do come up for sale, they go fairly quickly
And yes I know my examples above are comparing 2 year old cygnets with older 'real' Astons but the fact remains, they are holding up surprisingly well. Maybe so incredibly few were made (I'd love to know the actual number) that they will stay that way ?
Let's face it, they may not be appealing to most on here but if you had say half a dozen newish cars, including Aston/s, all worth 6 figure sums each, e.g. a Range Rover, Rolls/Bentley, Ferrari, etc you probably wouldn't be interested in adding a £30k DB9 to your fleet but you may fancy a Cygnet as a runaround/shopping car

I remember Lloyd @ Grange telling me of a guy that came in and ordered a DBS as well as his & hers Cygnets
