New vantage chat

[jonnyfox]

Congratulations on the blue Vantage, that's a real looker. Enjoy

I did look at that customer car in the Auto Trader advert, nice but wasn't for me. I think I had a quote which was more than the demo I test drove. That was nice but had a blue interior, I couldn't get my head around that. I was interested in another at the sister dealership down south, the quote I got back was way off.

Looks good - enjoy !

[bignoise]

And at the rates being quoted its hard to refuse

Are these tiny inside?

How tall are you guys?

I'm 6'4 and don't seem to fit in many sports cars.

I’m 6’4 and lanky, I fit in Vantage and DB11 just fine. No complaints there.

These deals are excellent, I wonder how many extra they’ll shift and whether they’ll consider introducing a lower cost model to broaden the appeal? I know for me at £140k optioned up the desire wasn’t strong enough to make me buy, but £110k I viewed it in a very different light b

They are great for headroom. I am also 6’4’’ and have short legs and a long torso which is terrible for fitting in cars but have nonissue with my DB11 and have sat in but not driven the new Vantage. Can’t fit in any McLarens or most Ferrari’s so modern Aston’s are a welcome relief.

I'm not that tall - 5'10 - but 'powerfully built' and I found it nice and spacious inside. The seat goes really low and is genuinely really comfortable, even for my less than slight frame. I had loads of headroom left so figured it wouldn't be a problem for taller people.

6'2 and large, having driven both I would say you will be absolutely fine in both the new Vantage and DB11/DBS. Best way the find out of course is to go and sit in one..

I'm 5,9 not quite powerhouse built but very good looking In all honesty I like a low seating position but I feel too low in the Vantage so have the seat set higher than normal.

[Greg_D]

while we're all being so open....

i'm 5'8" and slim and i could sit sideways in the seat
i have mine set at max seat height... there is plenty of room

Very tempting deal - what are the must have options on these?

Quick Heads up
Amber leasing has 3 cars left at £1050 per month no deposit . This ultimately is transacted by Stratstone

There is an option to buy at end of contract at £89k or just hand back

Translates to a total cost to own a £151k Aston Vantage for £26400 + £89000 = £115400...What a remarkable deal..!

[Greg_D]

Lots of manufacturers are like that nowadays. I had it with BMW and an i3 that I had. they wanted 43,000 cash (wouldn’t accept a penny less) but when you Add up the costs of leasing/govt grants and auction proceeds. it was 31,000. And that was through alphabet (Bmw in house finance)

List price is an illusion for most manufacturers now...

Is this J Fox Lotus Exige S1 man?

[DeejRC]

Chaps - are anything like these deals being offered on DB11s?

There was a cheap monthly offer on the DB11 mention on here recently.
One customer became rather upset and decided to involve a newspaper.

Whether such offers are still available I dont know.

No intention on handing back.
So £1050 x 24 months = £25,200 total cost of ownership for 2 years.
First service is included as has 5 year service pack but I do have to pay for year 2 RFL.
Great deal, now two left!

What is the problem with the car when doing parking manoeuvres at full lock? It sounds like the wheel is caught on the inside arch lining or skipping across the road.... or something...

Also happens on DBSS btw.

[cayman-black]

Happens on my Alfa too.
