AMR madness

[V8V Pete]

Can someone tell me why you'd pay £105K more for this https://preowned.astonmartin.com/preowned-cars/720...

than this https://preowned.astonmartin.com/preowned-cars/655...




apart, of course, for the excess of lime green stripes of questionable taste.

Or for another £30K less you can get one without the body kit (which for me only detracts from the car): https://preowned.astonmartin.com/preowned-cars/458...

I know which one I'd have .........

AMR .Exclusive model, very low numbers.

Whats the gizmo hanging off the windscreen?

[Phil74891]

Not sure, but I think they cost GBP105k

[JaseB]

What about the Red Bull one, over £300k...

[Jon39]

Ye can test an asking price, but sometimes then have to hope.

I remember there was very strong demand when new, for the V12V AMR, so that aspect is now presumably being reflected in the advertised price of this car. Do you think this might be the first to appear on the used market?

There was a completely different demand level for the V8 version, of which there were more produced. Some are still available. I did notice that one dealer has moved a delivery mileage V8V AMR. I saw it displayed on the forecourt of a nearby Lamborghini dealer.

You might have noticed another Vantage at a high price, Pete. A Red Bull model.



Edit - sorry jaseB. We posted at almost the same time.

Yes but apart from saying AMR on the kick plate there isn’t really a difference, is there, so how can that be worth £105K? Let’s see how long it languishes there for and what it eventually goes for, shall we?

[Mr.Tremlini]

The many different machinations of the Vantage provide interesting viewing for many, and for a few of the well heeled they no doubt offer a tantalizing opportunity to add to the ten car garage.
No harm done then.

I nearly laughed out loud when I saw the price of that. However, list would have been pretty high given all the Q bits fitted - GT12 doorcards (very few Aston’s outside GT12/8 have them) green carbon with lime green stripe, AMR track cam (Triple5!)full performance kit. Quite a car and how sad that the owner is selling it without enjoying it. Wonder if it has our AMR side strakes on it?

Given what the market is like at the moment then I would be surprised if it doesn’t hang a round for a while.

I have the same car with performance pack and body kit which cost me 95k less and in a spec I much prefer. Lovely car but seriously struggle to justify the price...

[silverspeed]

This one is very special though as it’s only got 565bhp according to Works website - must be the only AMR with a performance reduction pack

[Gettoff]

Completely agree Pete, bonkers premium. With 100 miles on, I can only assume the top one is aimed at a collector and not someone actually prepared to use it.

I'd definitely be going for number three, albeit in a different colour and with wheels that I could see . Mechanically they are pretty much the same as to make no difference.

I did wonder that, but it doesn't look anything like the version on the AMR web site.

Regardless of one's views on the spec or the prices of same, that full green carbon fibre inside and out plus the various lime highlights on same will have cost at least £25-30k, perhaps a lot more - it even includes the doorcards & the aero pack, the instrument binnacle surround, etc

From the pics, it's the highest original price AMR I've seen

[LordBretSinclair]

Poor spec - hasn't even got black wheel nuts.
I won't be buying it !!!!!!!

Even more than yours Jonathan

I've seen the car - it was on show at the Works AMR meet . I did like the interior lime graphic on the waterfall but would have worked much better on a Roadster and possibly loose the lime welt. The carbon tinting was very cool but there is so much going on it kind of looses impact . Having said all of that a very nice car and would love to have it in my garage .

But the ultra personal (and ultra high price) spec just means it makes even less sense to sell it straight away with only 100 miles on the clock. Just because something costs a lot to spec doesn't mean you can expect to sell it at the same premium.

Very different end of the market but if I were to sell my V8S I would not expect to add the cost of all the mods it has on it to the selling price of an equivalent standard car. Simply doesn't happen. Difference is I've done them to enjoy the car as much as possible rather than to try and sell it.

We have a buyer! I'd hang in there Graham as I suspect the price will be coming down

With the price of some limited edition cars you could say it’s a bit of a bargain . Thanks Pete but I waited nearly 2 years for my AMR and as I’m on a strict one on one out regime it’s not happening .
