New owner - Rapide S
Discussion
Hi All,
Long term lurker on this forum and now joined the ranks of Aston Martin owners; bought a 2017 Rapide S at the end of last month after looking at 3 other cars over the last 3 years.
Bought the car from jct6000 in Leeds and TBH it could have been any of the previous 3 cars - 2017 black on black - with a Timeless warranty, the dealer has been great and will replace the grill and various other shiny bits as they were below par.
Enjoyed the drive back home and another last week down to the south coast but still a touch nervous at the size of the thing - I'll get used to it though :-)
Had an interesting 'spotted' moment leaving services in the M3 as a Black DB9 pulled out of the petrol station a I was pulling out of the services - I've always thought these junctions were a bit of a challenge but no harm done!
Obligatory photo attached;
