Vanquish advice...

[mak600]

hi there,

i'm finally gonna take the plunge (i think!) and look to pick up an early 2+2 Vanquish 2001/2002. I've toyed with the idea of a DB9 but have always had a hankering for the Vanquish and think if i go for a DB9 will always be thinking "what if"? Is there anything to specifically look out for on the Vanquish? How easy (or otherwise!) are they to drive around town? And are there any good specialists or Aston service centres in/around Manchester?

thanks in anticipation ;-)
