V12 Vantage discounts / prices?
Discussion
Went to have a look at an Aston today and fell in love with the interior and sound. After some deliberation between a V12V and various other cars, I'm thinking of swapping my 997 GTS Cab for a V12V coupe.
Anyone with better knowledge than me of the market, what sort of discounts do you think are possible on a new one? I'd prefer a new one....but if there's one that's "as new" I'd look at that. I've seen a couple with 200 miles on here that are barely used at an attractive price:

My ideal colour would be white....but looks like they're rare on the ground - only one I've seen:

The dreaded v12v vs dbs , truly a hard decision. I went DBS route ....better lookin IMO and more comfortable ,but the v12v is abit sharper in the bends.kbf1981 said:

You're right this is a hard decision! The DBS is prettier imo but not £30k prettier and I prefer the idea of a harder edged, more lairy, scary car....the V12V in my head is a DBS that's shorter and more lairy.
In terms of prices....if you picked one up for £100k that seems a lot of car for the money. Perfectly possible to spec a new 991 C2S to £90k now.

Could you not just get an older DBS that isn't £30k more?http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3959282.htm

3 Lightning silver examples there like the one you posted before, just with more miles, and if you're going to use it every day it would be pointless paying more to get a very low mileage example wouldn't it?

The first one is very nice. I'd probably do 8k in the year on it splitting daily mileage between that and my other one. I like the idea of something newer just because then it's spotless....I get what you're saying however. I think I've a very hard decision between the V12V and DBS.....this colour on the V12V looks amazing for example:

Fully agree with you, it's nice for it to be perfect and spotless, but if you're doing 8k per year in it then it's only going to depriciate to the same level as those others in no time. You're basically paying a premium for something you're going to get rid of!http://www.hwmastonmartin.co.uk/sales/Aston-Martin...
Meteorite looks fantastic too, but if it was my choice on a V12V I would go for either Hardly Green or Mako Blue, but they are very rare to find so would probably end up with Lightning Silver
The V12 cars are all improving in price around this time of year (supply demand). Spoke to my dealer and he said this is the best time to sell, as V12 are now more in demand then DBS.(hence price hike)
Good for the owners.
Putting mine up for sale next month (lightning silver)with 3500 miles

Translating into reality:-"Selling your V12V to me now, I will make a killing. I will offer you a few extra pence on a PX and only a 25% haircut on a cash sale deal. A new Sap will shortly come along, wanting the summer roads and a GT life and will pay thru' the nose for it thinking he's got the deal of the century!"
Niiiiiice!
