Crystal ball question on the 2013 Vanquish

[Supercarhypercar]

Hi Guys, I am new to the forum so please be gentle
I am currently looking to purchase a 20,000 miles 2013 vanquish for £115,000.

Before I place the deposit, I wanted opinions on what you guys think will happen to the depreciation of the vanquish in around 2-3 years time. I would ideally want to purchase the car at the bottom of its depreciation curve where it then starts appreciating. I am however concerned it has not reached that level yet and has quite a bit of depreciation to go since the new style vanquish is due in 1-2 years.

What are your thoughts and what price do you think the 2013 v12 vanquish will drop to at its lowest point?

Thanking you all in advance!
Ashley

They're beautiful cars but not 'special' enough to appreciate

Hi, do you think the 2013 facelifted DB9 would be a better buy in terms of appreciation or same would it be the same?

Thanks for the advice guys!!
I am now looking for the 8 speed vanquish. I believe they start from the year 2015 so I'll have to increase my budget.

Currently found then at around £140k. £35K more than the 6 speed. Do you think this 8 speed version will also drop to circa 100K?

Thanks again!

These figures and predictions are very helpful!
I take it the Virage would also follow the DB9 or would the low production numbers help the fall in depreciation?

If I say I have a maximum budget of £135K to spend on a car, but equally happy to spend £70K aswell 😀. I am not too fussed about the rear seats (already got an s class for the family) but the car from the outside must look stunning, head turner and the car should make a great sound. Of course depreciation is a key factor, I don't mind losing a bit of money but hopefully would like my car to be an investment in 5 years time and appreciate (get my money back at the least). What would be the preferred choice of car?

Thanks Guys! Decided I'm going to go for a vanquish 8 speed. Just need to find the right colour combo, low mileage and price. What are the average maintenance costs on these?

Good choice! They come under the fixed priced servicing so costs are pretty reasonable:

Vanquish 8-speed will still depreciate from here of course but certainly colour and spec may help stem the tide a little.

Which colours are the most desirable and what should I look for in the spec?

How about something like this? It falls within your budget and consensus seems to be very low production numbers making this manual a rare car. It could well be the last N/A manual V12 Aston make (unless a run out model appears very soon) so could be a future classic?

Unfortunately not a big fan of the design of the vantage. I am after something a bit more sculpted.

8 speed red car at Maranello looks a great price. 2015, 7k and under £125k.

Agreed, just wish it was a different colour and I would have snapped it. Not see the red in person yet so should I really go have a look. Trouble is I cannot take my eyes off the metallic grey colour. Redline have a 2013 model for under £115. Just missing the 8 speed gearbox so hopefully one will come up with that colour and 8 speed gearbox.

Also looking forward to seeing the information from Gingermunky

I was interested in that Vanquish, I contacted the dealer, it's had 4 owners, which put me off.

Which one, the one at maranello?

[Supercarhypercar]

Out of curiosity, why did nobody mention the DBS?
The DBS is going up in value and is within budget.

[Supercarhypercar]

Agreed. I would love to get the vanquish with a light interior but nearly all of them seem to be black.

Thank you guys, i am very pleased, I have just posted some photo's on another post. Not from a main dealer, but car is immaculate & has nearly 13 months left of Astons manufacturers warranty. So all should be well.

Where did you find this seller? I'm still searching for one.

Yes it was from Maranello Ferrari, Egham Surrey. Lovely Ferraris their & a really nice showroom. They did a really cracking deal for me & were actually really nice people to deal with (Neil Wiltsher & Dave Salter), nothing was to much trouble for them, just really nice decent chaps.

The drive home from Surrey to Bristol was fab & the weather beautiful, you can't get any better than that, well not in my world anyway.

Cheers

Steve

That's great. Looking forward to the pics!
