Should I buy this V8V?

[dazren]

Looks good, what's the spec and mileage?

[oggs]

Looks good Kevin... think Shady needs a nudge over to this thread

Is this to replace the RS??

[Shadytree]

How much is it up for Kevin and who is the dealer ? (blocked here)

As regards the colour. AM Racing Green looked great on my old DB7 vantage, looks horrid (IMO) on a Vanquish and average on a DB9. I would have said the same for the V8 before I saw James's last weekend (sadlerj). It looks spiffing mate

I like that shade big time, come and join us......

Kevin,

Ask If they would knock some money off, as you won't be requiring fuse 22!!

[Grant3]

It has nice full spec with all the toys, price seems fair, although I bet you could negotiate some off!!!

The colour is a personal choice, the green is a very traditional Aston colour, personally I much prefer Titanium over all the other colours,shows off the fabulous detailing more & stays clean whilst not showing swirl marks!
But at the Prodrive meet there were about 15 cars & virtually everyone was in a different colour, just goes to show we are all different.
Lets be honest the car is so fabulous looking it doesn't really matter what colour it is in!

The only thing I wasn't sure about was the phantom grey interior, not that keen on it myself, buuuuuut again, what one likes the other hates, so ultimately it is what you like, come re-sale it won't be as easy to move as all the silvers & greys, but then again only by the smallest of margins!

What do YOU think?

[sadlerj]

Yum, nice garage, RS4 and V8V.....that is perfect....all bases covered...

[oggs]

At least you know how good they go in France

[v8tvr]

The colour is an aquired taste methinks.

But its your car so dont give a toss what anyone else says.

Thanks guys, I'm off round the dealers to look at as many different colour combinations as I can. Hopefully one of them will give me a hard on or at least a twitch.

Why not pop up to Gaydon? Loads on view

Go test drive it, give them your number and tell them to call you when they're prepared to do knock a fat wedge off the price.

They'll call.

Good advice, it's a buyers market out there.

Now the excited owner of Titanium Silver, red calipers & Chancellor red interior.
Should take delivery early next week after she's had her service and fuse 22 removed.
I've never actually driven one.... so can't wait!

I would say isn't that a bit rash, buying without trying the car first, but I bought my 996TT having only ever driven a 993C2 and a 3.2 cab.

Congrats and hope you enjoy the car. I know Ben will.
