V12V Manual

[cayman-black]

Can someone buy this before they give it away? It started at £10k more one month ago and has been dropping ever since, now looks a good buy to me.

how come that hasn't sold ?

No heated seats .

Looks good value to me. Low mileage. Lightweight seats too.
A previous owner fitted the V12VS grille and lightweight wheels. I would have kept it original.

Lightweights aren't heated !!

The only issue I can spot off the photos is a few black marks on the steering wheel airbag cover/horn push central lower spoke right side ... maybe worn off from wearing a ring?

Also agree that replacing the grille and wheels may not be to everyone's taste ??

Are heated seats a deal breaker on a car like this?

Is white amongst the most popular Aston Martin colours ?

Maybe not, in that most people tend to err on the boring side and go with silver or black (says the guy with a silver Rapide lol), but Morning Frost is absolutely stunning in the flesh and Ive never known it to be a blocker for sales in the way some other colours can be.

The only other thing I can see aside from the comments above are the drivers seat outside bolster seems to be worn heavily for a car with just 15k miles. So maybe one of the prior owners wasn't very careful with their car and perhaps there are more little wear and tear issues like this not easily seen on the pics that are putting off buyers who see it close up?

Other than that, Im struggling to see why it wouldn't sell really, so none of these issues seem bad enough to keep it hanging around.

I don't like white cars, the colour never truly shows off the curves.

when i go to shows my stratus white is the one people look at most, it may be the funny carbon though.lol

Morning Frost imo one of the best colours.

[oilit]

I like the colour, wouldn't want the lightweight seats though, and it looks like it needs a new steering wheel airbag module due to scuffs and the drivers door is scuffed also on inside

[GTRene]

looks like a nice car for the money, but maybe there is a story behind the car?

btw, is that a split door rubber? underside picture, if so a bit strange for this car and low mileage, or door to long closed? nah.

I was just expecting the old “lightweight “v “sport” seats debate ….

Agree

[cayman-black]

To be honest I just think that right now for whatever reasons these have stopped selling as I see another has been reduced today, a car I know that is near perfect which I thought would sell immediately.

[AdamV12V]

Maybe there is a recession coming, who knows?

Still recession white, as George used to call it, would therefore be popular again

Edinburgh is a long way for most people

I think location makers a big difference. I nearly purchased a Vantage from Dundee a few years ago. It was for sale by a doctor who in the end sold it for considerably less (7k less than normal private let alone dealer prices) than I could get one from the 200 mile radius around me in the Norwich area.
As for Morning Frost White. I nearly didn't go and look at my current car because it was white. When I saw MFW in the flesh I have to say it is unbelievably beautiful and very much suits our fine cars. It looks special and that's one of the reasons it suits so well.

There is a lot of hassle when your dealer is not local, get there, train strikes or what ever, especially if you need to take it back

Plus I think people may be thinking twice, with the economy where it is, inflation going the wrong way and petrol being so expensive, but who knows, I knew all that and still bought one !
