would you change vanquish s to dbs supperleggra

[Kersh2312]

hi anyone being in this position had the vanquish since new looked at the dbs and anchoring towards the new tech ,am i wasting my money and also eventually which would hold its value more forgot there both volantes

Cannot abide the MB interior of the DB. Vanquish is more bespoke/unique plus you’ve got the last of the great sounding NA v12s. Don’t know which will hold value better, but I know which is the last of the best.

[Beckson]

No way, the Vanq S is so classic and the last N/A Aston probably ever.

Also, the current range will get a refresh within the next year or so.... I'd wait for that. Bet they will have DBX interior which is so much nicer looking.

I have a Vanq gen2 Volante (not S) and had a DBSS (coupe) to drive for a week. I would consider a change if the DBSS Volante drops some more value, maybe in 2 years time. By then I will know whether the resale value of my Vanq has indeed held solid (which it appears to be at the moment). That might make me reconsider. :-)

The fact you're asking the question would indicate to me that you're keen to swap, so what are your reservations in doing so ?

Obviously it's irrelevant what people on a forum would or wouldn't do, it's not their money, but FWIW I wouldn't swap, as the DBSS still has a long way to drop £ wise, whereas the Vanquish S has probably done it's chunk now. That said, only you know your personal finances, and perhaps cost isn't a factor.

[cayman-black]

There are not too many Vanquish S,s for sale!

[AMVSVNick]

No

[FredoMusicman]

No also, as mentioned, the Vanquish is for me the last natural nice classic AM.
But this is very personal... I prefer the look of the Vanquish as the DBSS.

[LooneyTunes]

I’ve not driven a DBSS yet, but that probably speaks volumes about how tempted I am to swap my S Volante for one...

[Kersh2312]

thanks for the feedback ,as most have said its the last na v12 think i will keep it

[dbs2000]

Not in a million years

[hashluck]

Would not even swap Vanquish (Non-S) for DBSS

Nope I wouldn't do it. I love the lines of the Vanquish and prefer the interior. Performance in the DBS is quirky from what I have read and the newer cars seem so big which I think relates to the huge clam shell bonnet.
Vanquish here is Aus seem to be appreciating.
That beautiful N/A v12 cant be beaten for sound.

[flow99]

Would not hesitate in swapping a Vanquish S for a DBSS.

I went to buy a Vanquish S and bought a DB11 instead as felt it was a better car, and DBSS is next step up again.

I have to put my hands up here to say that I was a firm supporter of the Vanquish S having bought a new one over the DBS when it first came out. However, just before Christmas Aston got me into a DBS and that was that, much as I loved the Vanquish S for it to become a classic I'd probably have to wait 20 years, the mid range performance is just outstanding and blows the Vs away. The chassis is so much stiffer and responsive handling wise.

I spec'd up a car (Tungsten Silver) and the new wheel style (much better than the launch ones) and that was that, couldn't be happier. My car was 2.5 years old into a 4 year agreement and the residual was already at the GFV, so normal Aston V12 depreciation really which I was aware of when I first bought the Vs.

Couldn't be happier but in my view the DBS is very colour/wheel combo dependent plus small items like the smoked out rear lights option also make a difference. Small downsides are that start up isn't quite as loud and there's no Apple Car play (can done by Aston Installations if you want). This is coming form a very firm Vanquish S advocate as my first Aston.
