2009/10 V12 Vantage
Discussion
The original V12V is the raw driver's car. Apart from ABS, traction control and PAS that's it! It's a brute of a car and a handful at times. The TC light comes on for fun!
The paddleshift S models and now the 7sp manual S cars have more driver aided kit on and more tech and 'better' suspension.
It just depends which beast you prefer!

What colour is it and what seats has it got? Depends who you sell it to. If it were being sold by a main dealer it would be about £80K but they would service it, tidy it up (if it neeeds it) and put a years warranty on it so you'd get at least £5K less than that if you sold it to them.

It's dark metallic grey. Can't remember the name with dark grey alcantara seats.
Low, low miles but needs a service. Just seen a 16,000 mile car at 89k come on with a dealer. Which looks nice so I think it must be in th 80s then. Was going to swap for an RS6 is that crazy?!
TBH, it doesn't inspire confidence if the owner doesn't know what colour their own car is Low, low miles but needs a service. Just seen a 16,000 mile car at 89k come on with a dealer. Which looks nice so I think it must be in th 80s then. Was going to swap for an RS6 is that crazy?!
Also depends when it needed a service, as the low, low mileage might be seen as a concern if the car has just been sat around.

Thanks for the responses all!
So if I were to go for a 2009/10 model it wouldn't be materially different from a 2013 Vantage model? That's good to know!
Appreciate the Vantage S is a different model with the suspension etc, but I want a manual and there are budget restrictions too
Your'e going to get lots of responses on this thread. I love my original V12V (59). I love the rawness of it and my personal opinion is that the 6 speed box is better than the 7 - but it's dependent on the individual preference. See if you can drive both back to back.

Thanks don't think I was too clear in my posts. I can't afford the 7-spd manual, so only looking at the 6-spd version. Was just wondering if there are any differences between a 2009 and 2013 model?jaipaul said:

Gotcha. You won't be disappointed put it that way. PERSONALLY - I think you're getting a better car that's a lot more as intended when the car was first envisaged. don't think I was too clear in my posts.
