What do the collective make of this car?

https://www.amarisupercars.com/stock/details/2018-...

I have seen it in person, the interior and paint work are lovely aside from both doors are bubbling under the wing mirror stalks. Car drives lovely. It has front end PPF etc. The bubbling is an issue given that they won't get it done for the buyer i.e. whoever buys it will have to pay out for the work to be done.

Personally, I love the colour, always liked China Grey .... anyone on here know this car from old? Seems to be quite a lot given the current state of the market and an AMR car sold recently in the south of the UK for a good £7k less than this car, again a 2018 registered model with about 10K more miles but no issues with paintwork at all.

It either a bit optimistic price-wise, or maybe I ought to look at the valuation I have for mine.

Seems about right for a 2018 with a low mileage.

Nice looking car, bubbling paint would need sorting?

At that price sector you could get a nice manual V12 and not far off V12S money albeit age, mileage, spec would need factoring in?

Have you been to see / driven other cars for comparison?

Yes saw a 2018 AMR VH car and a 2019 Gen 2 car.

They won't sort the bubbling paint and this is what stopped me looking for a deal on it, but I do keep coming back to it as I love the looks however, just having a further look at Vantage S models and this one isn't to badly priced given mileage, I think some are living in a dream world with some of the numbers being advertised.

It seems a good price for the last of the VH V8. What will the bubbling cost to fix, perhaps just offer that as a discount so you can put right?

However, there will also be more cars coming up for sale, so if they decline, or do not want the hassle, wait. A main dealer, would not sell a car with those defects.

The other consideration is will VH V8 prices keep falling as the 2018 Gen 2 keeps coming down, esp now with the new 2024 Gen 3 being released. Or will the gen 2 drop below the VH?
The VH V12 seems to be far more stable now...

That and the DBS Ultimate look very pricey for the obvious defects in the "HDR'd" pictures on show.

Vantage, door seals, drivers footwell, fuel door alignment, steering wheel and drivers seat wear, scratch across the dash binnacle.

DBS, Valve Cover and Wiper Arm Corrosion, suspicious amount of dust in boot closure areas (on top of lights and underside of boot lid), Corroded rear seat belt runner finishers.

Both probably need a full set of tyres due to age.
