Is it me, or is this a shockingly low price for a 2017 Vanq which stickered at $355K !!

Like the exterior and love the interior, just not sure they go together. I can imagine the interior with a green exterior...that would be perfect.

year old, 30% off list. Sounds about right.

List has been inflated by some Q options.

Honestly though, that interior hurts my eyes smile

But it's a 2017, and it is still 2017, so not a year old from a depreciation standpoint. 1K miles from new, 33% off sticker? I imagine it has a lot do do with the interior/exterior combo...

You over-the-ponders do seem to really dislike brownish interiors. The dark/light combination is stunningly attractive as compared to suicide-inducing black...biggrin

Read the advert again. 2017 model, 2016 car...

My car cost £145k 7 months old 284 miles. Anyone know what list was on a Carbon Black Vanquish in 2016? I guess £210k ish, so it showed similar depreciation. Must be the suicide black interior I guess...

"Brownish interiors" ?
Unless my eyes deceive me,it's more like an orangey poo colour.
I'm quite surprised by your comments with regard to this particular colour combination Steve ,as your tasteful stable of traditionally hued Astons would make anybody "green with envy".
One might possibly stretch to a truffle interior or light grey but definitely not orange poo combo.

In the USA, Model Year is the only relevant 'year'. Doesn't matter when it was produced. It is still a 2017 when you go to sell it. I have a 2009 DBS...built 5/08.

Why would you put yellow callipers on an orange car? Just wrong.

Well, MY18 is from September from Aston, so by that logic it's last year. Even the model has been superseded, I presume there are MY18 Vanq S? And I gave an example of buying a 2016 car in 2016 at the same discount, so the depreciation point is still valid. The dealer put it was a 2016 car twice in it's advert, so clearly it is somewhat relevant.

Frankly it's a horrific spec and it's almost at the UK price for the cheapest Vanq S, really don't see a lot of value in it myself.

Yes you're right.

Plain nasty interior! Would need to be half that price to get me in it so I could spend the difference getting a new interior!

Lovely. Such a shame so few new Aston buyers in the UK have the bks to be different.
