A variation on previous threads I know. After a couple of years enjoying other marques I am looking to return to the fold.
Before too long I suspect that a new generation of Astons will be in sight and I suspect that the current range of "new" Astons are in for a tough time over the next year or two.
So rather than lose a pile that I could put on a new model when they eventually arrive I am looking for a 2 year keeper that will maintain a reasonable portion of its value,,which brings me back to the title of this thread.
Where would you put 80k if buying an Aston?

Thanks for all your replies. As usual the breadth of views has had me thinking, so here is where I am.
I would prefer a convertible with the exception of a V12V which remains on the wish list.
I would like to buy a car wth some original AM warranty remaining so less tha 3 years old.
Prefer an auto / sportshift, though would want the sportshift 2.
I imagine that the Vantage S Roadster might drop a little at the end of the summer, but dubt it will drop enough.
Standard Vantage roadsters wiith sportshift 2 might get into budget - I hope

Should I still have the DB9 Volante on the list - if so I would like to get into a 2010 470 bhp model

As I say thanks for all your replies, though I would share test thinking. Will be interested in the reaction.
