Vantage Values
Discussion
Only of passing interest for those of us with 'keepers', but the number of V8Vs listed on the AML used list has dropped considerably, now showing (UK) 38.
This MY 2009, the first 4.7 year, has an asking price over £50k. They have been lower than that during recent years.
Dealers have probably always shown each car year as registration date, but the car mentioned above is shown as 2010, and another is shown as March 2009, but was manufactured before September 2008. At least the model year system enables us to tell, whether a particular car was unused for the first part of life.
Do seem to be stabilising somewhat. If I try to find a MY2012.25 Roadster in a dealer the same as my car then they are more expensive than what I paid for mine 2 years ago. I guess thats just inflation and non depreciation. Ive doubled the mileage on mine so its a keeper for a few years yet. They always depreciate well down to book price if you put +80K miles on them, I just accept that 
Perhaps the price of the new model will bring the 1st gen cars up now. I dont think we will be seeing £20k 2005 Vantages any time soon.....

I was looking at exactly the same this week.
I logged a few prices back in July 2017 (very low end Vantage v8s) and £32k got you a 2006 reg 56k mile v8 4.3 from Milennium Heros
It now gets you a 2005 55k mileage one from Aston Martin Newcastle, so feels like prices are about stable, assuming an AM garage charges a bit more, but a 2005 is a bit older.
McGurk a year ago listed a 2006 v8 manual with 44k for £34,850. Now listing a 2007 36.8k mile for £37,850
Feels fairly stable. Not that past performance is an indicator of future trends blah blah blah.

It'll be interesting to see the ultimate impact of Tariffs on used cars. I've not yet read a detailed dissertation on that topic by smarter people....but my thinking was (assuming they come to fruition) that new cars will increase in cost which could have an additional impact on used car prices (upward would be the logical guess)
The issue will probably manifest more in the classic car market (my favorite) where borders will be more restrictive on every front resulting in market insulation between the US and where all the cool classics are located (Euro)
Love to hear thoughts on this one? Crystal Ball anyone?

For our mainstream models, they don’t seem to be dropping, for sure. The higher price of the new Vantage and relative shortage of stock must surely be helping.
(BTW - isn’t the new Vantage price of £120k comparable to the £80k price for the V8V when it was launched mid-naughties?)
I find it a little strange that many of the 2-3 years old V12VS models have continued to settle a little.
But it’s to my amazement that there were 4 GT12’s on Autotrader last night (GT8 simply done move in a year, or so it appears). And even one LHD V12V Zagato. Are owners of rarer models thinking of upgrading or baling out of a stagnant or dropping market?

Slightly out of date example, but I traded in my 2006 Vantage 6 months ago and got as much for it as I paid at a non-franchise dealer two years beforehand. That implies that its value had slightly increased, just enough to cover the dealer margin. The cheapest examples are about the same price now, so they don't seem to have moved much since then.
I found it amusing at the time that, including depreciation and servicing, my Aston was actually cheaper to own than my Wife's Renault Scenic.

Dont forget about inflation - say 8% over the last 3 years so a £35k car in 2015 is about £38K now
It does seem that the value of used Astons is keeping pace with inflation from info in this thread...
The base price of £120k vs £80k is pretty much the same when you take into account inflation since 2005.
So the true cost of a Vantage hasn't really gone up at all

I recently enquired with a main dealer and local specialist re trade in price for my high spec 27k mile 2013 V12VS - both came back with offers of low £60's!
Course it would depend on the deal but gives an idea.
These are currently silly cheap in my opinion.
Wow that does seem cheap. A bargain in my opinion.Course it would depend on the deal but gives an idea.

If there is (say) a £10,000 difference between trade and main dealer retail asking price, that seems to indicate a lower retail price than a V12V.
If so, then what do you suggest is the explanation?

edit - specific to his car, perhaps the higher mielage and adventurous colour are a factor. Might be the specific dealers have similar stock and only want it at a steal.

).Must admit 2015+ flappy paddle V12VS examples also look to be a bargain at the moment, relatively!
