DBS vs V12Vantage Best buy?
Discussion
Have just seen a lovely V12V for sale for £80k 9k miles. Also a really lovely DBS with 8k miles for the same money. So my question to those who have perhaps driven both or just looked which of these Astons is the better buy? I was more in the V12V camp, but those DBSs look so good and great value.
So which one?

If your keeping it long term and want a good track and road car the V12V . IMO will be worth more in a few years especially if it is the last of line big engine manual cars. If you want a great value GT then the DBS is your car. Have you seen the one at Top 555 - fantastic car with a manual box - possibly the the best compromise ? Suggest you drive both - you will know within the first five minutes which one suits you best. So which one?

Thats the one Top 555. I keep looking at it.No right of wrong answer to this (says the man who has never driven either of them).
Both have their individual charms and which you will end up with depends on your driving style. For me it'd be the manual DBS every time as I like the long wheelbased GT credentials rather than the extra agility. Practicality... One has a big rear seat/luggage area, the other a hatchback, which do you need?
No wrong choices here

It would be a fourth car, so just a toy to be used occasionally for a drive out. Really would what the one that feels, looks more special , plus likely to hold its value reasonably well.
I know its so close between these two this is the problem. If i was in the uk i would go and drive both but for the time being this is not possible.

Had the same dilemma ,I ended up with DBS from top 555 .Depends on what you want ,think of DBS as more gt orientated,but more comfortable and probably a bit more forgiving than the v12v ,plus I thought the DBS looks better .
You come from Essex right? Then the hooligan V12V it is
