Thoughts on Cygnet

[Brakke]

Please dont shoot me, but ive placed a bid on this car: http://auto.autoscout24.nl/Aston%20Martin-Cygnet-B...

I wanted to know if someone knows the true production run worlwide on these including division between manual and auto.
Im selling my v8v 4.3 and bought a v12vr and want something for the lovely boss to have as well.

Does anyone know the production run, I read very different things on the interwebs...
Any help appreciated.

Regards

this article says 143 on BRITISH roads: http://jalopnik.com/the-aston-martin-cygnet-is-dea...
But anther article says less than 150 total produced: http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/article-24...
And thats where the confusion lays: they use worldwide and UK production numbers in a mix all over the place.

So nobody has a reliable worldwide production number?
I dont care what people think, i just like the fact that the inside looks great and we live bang in the centre of Amsterdam, so small cars are king when it comes to getting around.

I made them an offer, lets see what they say. Still would like to know production numbers.

Saeed - contact Simon Stanton at AM Works, Newport Pagnell, he should be able to confirm numbers for you.

Got an email address for me?

BTW: Monday im delivering my 550 for a service, so will go have a look at that V12V you been badgering on about without end!

Thanks for all the input.
I dont believe the 800 number either, there are far too few for sale to justify 800 as a total run.

Anyway, ill keep you guys posted if I end up buying that hotrod of a car.
It looks so angry and mean and powerful, oh wait..i mean the EXACT opposite haha.

Thanks!

Sorry, i made a mistake its not tomorrow but Tuesday. Anyway, will keep you posted!

The purchase is a no-go.
The car is already for sale for 9 months and they wont budge on price AT ALL.
I was offering 35k euro and they wont come down a single cent from their 37450 euro.... so if someone else wants it, its all yours.

[Brakke]

it was a 2450 euro difference...unbelievable but true.

Im only interested in a manual transmission, the others are auto within budget..
Anyway...ill pass on it im sure its going to sit there for another 6 months... ill call them in 4 months and offer 32,5k haha.
Lets see what happens.
