Looking for a mint v8 Vantage Roadster

[FEE 50]

Hi guys,

I'm looking to purchase a mint, well specced v8 vantage roadster (4.3). Must be black, low mileage, ideally one owner.

I fancy a sportshift and have a budget of approx 45k give or take for the right car. 08,09 ideally. I'll be looking at putting an official warranty on within that price also. Nothing in the classified / trader seems to match my requirement at present (with regards to mint condition) but I'm hopeful someone may know of a little beauty coming up for sale soon. If anyone can point me in the right direction or knows of anyone looking to part with what I'm looking for, please let me know.

Cheers Dom

Yes I have been in touch with him last week. That's one I'm waiting to hear back on. I'm hoping there are a few more options currently available.

The budget that you mention is very close to a 4.7.

I presume that you have studied the model changes.

Hi Jon, yes I'd love to go the 4.7 route. Unfortunately I think it's about 4 to 5 k above my budget.

Ooh, you are so, so close.

A decision on this aspect, probably depends upon how long you intend to keep your Aston Martin Vantage. Waiting 6 or 12 months for prices to fall, is probably easier when buying a long-term car.

Good luck with your search. There are mint cars 'out there'.
At least your colour choice, certainly helps in finding a car.

Indeed wanting black will help your quest but you are close to the 4.7s so dont rule out looking at cars slightly above budget nad perhaps meeting them halfway?

Dom needs some of the man maths experts to give him a quick lesson. 4.7 on the drive before he knows it.

Yes please do!

The extra £5k for the 4.7 will be reflected in your resale value when you sell it on. Thus, this enhancement is potentially at zero cost to you.
