How about a Morning Frost example as not seen many on here

This and with the red interior as well would be my first choice,or perhaps Mako.

I posted this in the grey thread thinking it would fit in there, but maybe white is for the more adventurous

"If anyone has any good pictures of white DBS's I'd appreciate it for my little collection."

Thanks

Is that Vertigo Blue?

Hi everyone

I'm looking to buy one imminently. Do the brighter colours affect resale value at all? I quite like some of the blues but am a little worried that it will affect the resale value when I come to sell.

The resale value shouldn't be overly affected if you have the time to wait for a buyer as bold as you were when you originally bought it. If you need to sell quickly, then resale value is likely to be down compared to the predictable colours.

Come on ... what's that permanent talk about resale value?! Buying an Aston Martin or any other car in that league is financially nonsense anyway ... and I wouldn't care at all if it's a bit more or less nonsense. If resale is important buy a Mini Cooper.

It's about cost of ownership not capital cost. i.e. if the rbright colour is £3k cheaper than say black when you buy it, and you sell it for £3k less than balck when you sell it then you've done no worse financially than buying a black one.

I've yet to meet somebody who bought a silver / black Aston with resale value in mind.

It is entirely feasible that people like these colours, and I don't hear these people criticising somebody for buying a different colour.

Not sure why the common courtesey doesn't appear to work the other way

Another dull grey one I am afraid!
Quantum Silver for those interested.

Looks fantastic with the contrasting interior.

Hardly Green is my favourite

I think an Aston looks good in almost any color (with a few exceptions)! I don't find the greys or blacks the least bit boring, and I see no need to pass judgement on a car's owner because of it. However, I do believe that some colors flatter the curves and lines of a particular car more than others.

Fully agree. And I think there is no judgement on those owners here, at least not from me. My idea was just to collect examples of the not so common colours.

I'd disagree.



That just tells me the owner is a massive bell end.

That's not fair.

Quite hideous!

Bell end is being kind......still could be worse he (or she) could have a number plate with 007 as part of it
