Aston Martin V8 Vantage 2006

[Dale-tolja]

Evening gents,

My first post on here!

I’m looking at buying a 2006 V8 vantage and I’m looking to speak to any current / previous owners of one. Looking for some basic info on what to look out for, any generational issues that I’d expect to hit shortly.

The car itself has done ~30k miles and has full AM service history.

Thanks in advance!

Afraid I can't help with firsthand experience, but some reading for you if you've not found it already:

Probably the best PH info is the recently updated buying guide here

(as usual, the comments section contains owners experiences, plus more/better info than the article )

The recent and shortlived Strada magazine did a buyers guide, the one and only issue, with it, appears available here https://www.magazineheaven.com/strada-magazine+sub...

I owned one for 4 years - sold a couple of years ago.

Excellent cars, really liked mine. I kept a thread running while I owned it, so this should give you some real world experience:
