There’s a 2017 V8V N430 on Auto Trader, 23,871 miles at £63,900. The same company had the car for sale 3 years ago so they should know the history.
I have emailed them loads of questions.
I’m loath to go for anything without the Timeless warranty but I’m really tempted with this one even though I’m also interested in another couplle of cars, an S and a V12S. I don’t want anything that looks shouty though.
I would appreciate any thoughts or comments on the car.
Thanks in advance.

Ensure that you are happy with Sportshift before buying.
The V12S which you have mentioned would have the (final) 3rd version of that automated manual gearchange.

If you are considering a V12S amongst your selection, be sure to drive that before making any decisions.
Aston Martin's biggest engine in their smallest body. What a machine !

I own a 16 plate N430 and have looked at this car / ad

its a little odd that its 17 reg but has the "old dash". The "new dash" came in for 2016 model year and is much nicer. So it must have sat unsold for quite a while before it was registered

otherwise it looks OK with some nice extra carbon bits

the advert has been written by someone who has limited knowledge. most of what they list as extras arent. whereas the carbon diffuser and splitter definitely are (dark grey plastic as standard)

McGurk sold a white N430 recently. https://mcgurk.com/aston-martin-for-sale/aston-mar...

thats lower mileage and I would argue the manual + carbon seats is more special (certainly rare). So dont know what it sold for but the £68k asking price gives you an idea. On that basis I'd say your one is a bit toppy

I emailed them loads of questions, including why does a MY2017 car have a pre MY2016 dash. I have had no response so that says a lot for their customer service, I will give them a wide berth.
