Would this mileage put you off? I know the mileage is'nt that high but a lot of the seem to have 15k ish. I tend to sell my cars after a year so am concerned it may put some people off. I do approx 4-6k a year..

Mileage would not be an issue to me - in fact mine has got better as it has loosened up with miles. However, the car is an '06 specification car, and at that mileage/price you might be able to find an '07 specification car.

Thanks Spiral - It's heartbreaking having no car (sold mine a few weeks ago) and having cash burning in my pocket....I'm sure the right one will come along soon enough..

Agreed on all counts.

Mine's an 07 with 26k miles on it. Feels better than ever. Better spec'd than that too, and I'd expect to get less for it. Maybe the same.

+3 on the milage front, 07/07 with 25000 on the clock and i swear the car responds better and is quicker and looser than ever.

I'd still prefer to negotiate a deal via main dealer or good Aston specialist... just for peace of mind, worth a few pennies more IMO wink

Have these jokers come back to you at all, or are they assuming the deal will come to them in the normal arrogant way?

Not come back to me...they left it on Friday with 'your a typical finance guy wanting to do a deal.....if you can come up with another 2.5k give me a bell'...

I left it with no, 44k is all I'm willing to pay, call me if it can be done'..

Moved on from them, it's proving difficult to get more than 1k off of anything at the moment..

Then you've probably hit the bottom wink

Pull the trigger and enjoy the car. If a grand will make you feel different about the car, you probably shouldn't be buying it in the first place...

Agreed, but I had to test what movement these cars have before I plunged in...

A grand does'nt make a huge difference, making sure I dont pay more than I have to does...
