V8 Vantage running costs
Discussion
I'm sure this must have been done to death but search is not being my friend.
Currently looking at 996t but maybe stretch the budget to the low 30s and V8V come in.
I did find a service cost image in a thread for between 600 and 950 so what about things like clutches, ecp seem to do brake bits.
Anything else?
Any good indies in wiltshire or close by?
Thanks

"V8 Vantage running costs"....
More than 996T.
Less than a DB9.
Cheaper than dealers at specialists like Bamford Rose (recommended).
Though not to judge ones financial position, but a common saying that pops up when the "running costs" question is asked...
"If one can just about stretch to afford an Aston Martin, owning and running one is optimistic at best"....
That was probably more of a true statement back in the days of the DB7 and Vanquish.
The modern fleet are certainly more easily affordable to run.
My average service on the Vantage is £600.
Consumables I allocate at £1000 per year (usually less).
Insurance was £550. Now £700.
And of course the excellent fuel economy to consider

Less so, but I'll let it go "If one can just about stretch to afford an Aston Martin, owning and running one is optimistic at best"....

That's 996t money if nothing goes wrong so that I can live with.Consumables I allocate at £1000 per year (usually less).

Seems to be a lack of an indie in central SW - place in Mere but they seem to be classic stuff
Is AM warranty extendable and if so how far age/mileage.
Worth the money?
