Just noticed Grange have put the V12V they've been advertising at £72,500 up to £76k. Guess they had a year end or something to try and shift it by, but still seems ambitious to put the price up £3.5k!

I'm sure it'll be some kind of month end issue they had. A lot of the big dealer groups have a holding period for cars...in theory if they don't sell it they have to trade it. Might be that end of Feb was that time and they were trying to avoid the accounting hit....having taken it anyway they are trying to get as much as possible for it again.

That's interesting. I have had an invite from Grange as a previous customer to an event over the next 3 days to view their stock at 'special prices'. ......
I wonder "Here we are Sir , £76K ,but to you £72.5k, or maybe I'm being a bit too cynical.

it went £77.5k, then after a week or so £75k, then another week it went to £72.5k where it must have been for the best part of a month.

Not like I'm watching V12V prices obviously...

It wouldn't surprise me tbh.

Wilmslow stuck one up for £81,950 then phoned me to say that if I'm quick they could do a special offer of £84,950.

Go figure that one Steven smile

Me too, but I can't make it and I am not looking to buy a new car either.

The V12V and V8S prices are overlapping quite a bit now too, unless you HAD to have an auto, I am unsure why you wouldn't pick the V12 at a particular price mark.

Well, it was a special offer, just not the normal definition of such !

I am hoping that they stick on another £25 K and then offer me a £10K discount.
What a bargain I'd get.
Surely they must realise that's not the way to win hearts and minds.
Most Aston owners are ( I would think ) fairly conversant with current prices.
