Yes, imo an Aston is cheaper to run than a Porsche except for fuel. Far classier also.
How so (I'm genuinely curious)?Porsche have 20k/2 year services, whereas Aston have 1year/10k, though certain Astons do get free servicing for the first 3-5 years.
Also the warranty for Porsche is under £1k per annum, whereas I believe Astons are £2.5k+....?
Astons also depreciate far quicker than 911s.
Am I missing something?

£75k gets you either a 991.2 GTS or a 2018/2019 Vantage with the 4.0 V8 AMG engine. As a used purchase would the Vantage be such a bad option?
Only if you haven't driven the 991.2 GTS in my view. My (manual) 991.2 GTS was one of the best road cars I've ever had.And you could still be driving it under the extended Porsche warranty which i think is excellent for £1k per annum.
Sold mine for £87.5K last September, has it really dropped to £75k?

Vantage drives well ,but interior is huge letdown and I would imagine will depreciate far more than a 911 .Sidsw said:
its called wishful thinking!
their share price is getting hammered. 12% down since start, 35%from highs.
if they think china market is going to save them they need to think again. just had a friend come back from beijing and shanghai whos heavily involved in auto industry. he said all you see driving round now is chinese branded ev's and the brands are looking to dominate the market with government backing

I was talking to someone who bought a new DBX and lost £100k in 18months when they traded it in. Now that is depreciation.
The trouble for me with Astons is there ICE is (up until the DB12) old old Merc tech. It always feels wrong to pay so much for old tech. I appreciate it’s only on aspect of the car but it’s the bit you always are looking at.
Weird because people actually like old tech so long as it's reliable. See the Golf Mk7/Mk8 debacle. The trouble for me with Astons is there ICE is (up until the DB12) old old Merc tech.

Be interesting to see how many Taycans suddenly appear in March.
Perhaps they genuinely sold that many over December, however the cynic in me thinks that there was just too much noise around them not selling so they are restricting how many are up for sale at any one time to prevent (even more of) a collapse.
But as previously pointed out, my confirmation bias believes the figures when they support my view

Very interesting to see, most of the reduction is in Taycans ... 911's are continuing to multiply ...
I've been watching GT3RS and GT4RS models and very little has moved in January ... maybe another month will see a change to this but prices are holding ... will discounts only become serious / prices re-adjust once cash-flow calls ... or Spring solves the affordability issue ?
