There are also lots of Astons that Vanq2 are far superior than, take the DB5 for example.
I think that anyone sitting on a DBS, especially a manual, will not be able to replace it for anything less than 6 figures in the very near future.
Evening Tony I think that anyone sitting on a DBS, especially a manual, will not be able to replace it for anything less than 6 figures in the very near future.
Must say, kool car you have sir

I say they are stupid.....way over the top...if you are dumb enough to pay them...well more fool you....
You make me laugh as well......whoever you are....
There were those, including me, who would have said that £250k was a stupid price for a DB5 a few years ago. They are now way higher. You make me laugh as well......whoever you are....
I know you traded your DBS (going up) for a Vanq 2 (going down) but you should be cheering. The rise in DBS values is underpinning Vanq 2 values (and Vanq 1 values are underpinning DBS values).
When you look at where classic Astons are trading, when you look at where modern Ferraris are trading the numbers make sense on a relative basis.
They are worth what people will pay for them. Currently that looks like solid £100k+ for manuals in 007 specs. More for Volantes.

The manual DBS is still way behind the value curve compared with say 550/575 manuals, they're the nearest comparison but they're a design generation behind
Buy one while you can and drive it
I suspect there are far, far fewer manual 550s/575s than manual DBS, since everyone bought the F1 trans and only the diehard bought the manual. Just like the DBS once the TT2 was on offer; everyone bought it and only the few went with manual.Buy one while you can and drive it

There are 3083 manual 550s (all 550s are manual), so a lot more than DBS manuals. For the 575 there were around 10% manual so around 200.I own a 550, its a joy to drive and almost as fast as a V12V eventhough its 10 years older.
Could I trouble you for your thoughts on this one please? Is it in the right ballpark price-wise being a late model/carbon edition, anything obvious to look for/ask when viewing?
