Sold my V12V today. It went to JCT600 for a very fair price...

I would like to add that JCT made it a very painless experience. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to sell.

So good bye from me, I loved my aston experience and hope to be back again one day.

Richard.

And if it's not an impertinent question, wasn't a V12VS on the horizon last time I saw you?

Mark is the Head of Business at JC600 Aston Martin and has always been a top notch chap in my eyes - I can't praise him and his whole team enough. When Mark is involved you know the deal is on the right side of where you need it to be wink

Richard - were you not tempted with the rather lovely fully loaded Yellow Tang V12VS ex-works car that they have in stock at the moment?

Hi Adam, Yes Mark was great. Deal was done in about 20 mins of me sending an enquiry in from the web site.
Unlike the other dealer I was in contact with who I was chasing for three weeks... frown

That car looks stunning , right up my street but too rich for me at the moment. wink

The trade in of a V12V for a V12S is not economically viable in my view. It is a shame as it would have "released" a couple of V12Vs to new customers and offloaded a couple of the V12S from the dealers inventory. Now Aston dealers sit back with a number of V12S that are not shifting and residuals for the whole model range will just go further down. A missed opportunity. It is always easier to get an existing customer to buy a more expensive product rather than finding a new one. With the trade-in values that they offer this make it impossible - only to be discounting the cars at a later stage.

Agreed - I have heard of some horrendous 'cost to change' quotes from members of this forum.

I would extend your argument one step further and say that in providing a sensible upscale cost, it would also have released a moderate amount of V12Vs onto the market with no detriment to residuals.

I would suggest it would be easier to attract new customers with a gorgeous £90k car than an equally gorgeous £150k car. smile

Agreed on the potential swap over to an S. Have already eaten a boat load of depreciation and could not bring myself to write a big check. Plus, still like the manual trans.

...wasn't there just a thread about no V12V's for sale? Seems like there are?

Hi Adam, made the mistake of looking on their website... Can't believe what they've got it up for... Looks like I should have held out for more lol.
I did my research and there was nothing on at that price. What I may have failed to do was factor in that my car is / was as you say MINT.
Another lesson learned...
