As some of you know I'm looking to buy my first AM. I know this may not suit all tastes, but I don't want a generic colour. I need a left foot accelerator adaption fitted due to being used as target practice when I was on my motorbike 8 years ago, hence it needs to be an automatic.
I'm looking for your thoughts, The seller has some lovely cars, would I need to get an independent inspection done ? I have noticed the steering wheel looks worn, should The dealer replace it ?
My other main concern is that in the description the seller has copy and pasted is a load bks from another source and hasn't actually mentioned anything about the car .

I saw that yesterday and thought it was a striking combination, and possibly the cheapest Vanquish 2 about. The 'description' is done by AI, and IMHO completely pointless. On reviews I found this: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

I can only say - if in doubt, get an independent chap to inspect it for you, not least because if you're like me, when viewing an Aston you want your brains go to mush. Go in with your eyes open and go through the service history with a fine toothed comb because expensive things can catch the unwary.

Hope it works out!

NB The steering wheel is a One-77 wheel which I believe was a £1,600 option, so I doubt they'll give you a new one. But I'm sure it could be smartened up for a fraction of that.

Good grief. The steering wheel looks like it's melted in a fire!
