Looking for some initial guidance before I get too carried away.

Just out of Porsche ownership (996 facelift C2) and looking for replacement, poss 997 tt but also looking across at AM – Vantage (4.3 or 4.7) or DB9. I have previously spent on Porsche warranties (£1k) and then various OPC servicing minor (£6-700) and major (closer to £1K) and also have LR Disco which is main dealer maintained. Am I going to be horrified at AM costs………?

TIA.

AaS.

Yeti, thank you.

Looks about what I expected, so I will buy the book and see where that takes me.

It's the mention of Ferrari that always scares me, I very nearly said something about Ferrari in my OP as everyone I talked to about Porsche costs always said that they were 'nowhere near Ferrari/Aston costs...'.

8/8th blue blue here and no sign of snow, but I assume you meant some one else!

Thanks for all the advice, looks fairly reasonable to me and at least there's no M96 engine IMS issue (see Porsche threads which abound with scares of 996 engine destruction and subsequent £8K bill) to be wary off (is there?).

Surrey based Indies to investigate anyone?
