AMV8 Anyone Selling?

[witty]

Hi

Anyone (other than those advertised on the classified) selling their AMV8?

I’m looking for a 2006/7 model in a dark colour (grey, blue, black) preferably with black leather/sliver stitching.

I know someone who's selling a midnight blue May 2006 V8 with tan leather interior. 1,100 miles on the dials. If you're a serious buyer, mail me and I'll see if he's still selling it.

Nothing really. However, most are trade so carry a 5k premium for the privilege

[Timmmmmmo]

yeah your right but some private sellers still want more for their pride and joys lol

i had mine advertised thro the trade on here and last week eventually got returned 66 k for a car i paid 82 k for in oct last year

these cars a fab drivers cars but unfortunately mine was of poor qualitly and a real pain to sell on.

[bogie]

so you lost 20% in the first year from new..and through the trade? ..surely thats not *that* bad when most mainstream cars lose 30% in the first year and avg about 35-40% after 3 years ?

..if you buy new its kinda to be expected....I got a 1 year old/6K mile car from a main dealer a few months ago for £73K and saved about £15K on the original list price which helps take the sting out of it a bit...as I do about 20K miles a year in it, it will be worth bugger all when its 3 years old anyway !

no i didnt buy new it was 1 year old

i paid 81995 and this was the price give or take 1 k from all AM dealers i jumped in hasty
my point was i sold it through a local company who advertised it for me and they got 66500 for it and gave me 66 ( the guy is a personal friend)

if it hadnt sold the best trade big i got was 62 k but most traders AM dealers refused to buy or bid 60 k, this was my point

theses cars are not good news due to reliability and quality issues, however i loved to look at it and drive it.

i replaced it with a Bentley conti GT. this car has the reliability and quality that Aston should strive for

[bogie]

ah - right...so £15K in a year on a used one ..thats pretty crap....Im not even thinking about how much mine will be worth when its 3 years old with 45K+ miles on it !

..Ive had a few niggles too - nothing major though..just the squeaky belt and gearshift...both of which are service bulletins now. Its par for the course really with anything thats not robot built I reckon at whatever price - my other cars are TVR and Lotus so the Aston is rock solid in comparison

15k depreciation in the first year may seem a lot but in percentage terms is similar to other cars. Just imagine if you had bought a VANQUISH!!

3 things:

1) What spec?
2) Pictures?
3) Was the price horrificly low or high

[witty]

Here you go.
Not the best picture



3 months old. 1,000 miles, Metallic Black, 1 Owner. UK Vehicle,Black Leather Upholstery With Red Stitching,Red Brake Calipers,Satellite Navigation,19 Inch Anthracite Alloys,Bright Finish Grille,HID Headlamps,Powerfold Mirrors,Piano Black Fascia,Heated Electric Seats,Electric Passenger Seat Height Adjustment,Lumbar Control,Battery Conditioner,Heated Screen,Premium Audio System,Cruise Control,Bluetooth and Voice Control,Rear Parking Control,Aston Martin Tracker System.

I was very happy with the price. I haven't seen a similar spec'd car advertised cheaper.

[F355spider]

Congrats - nice looking car.

[zagato]

Looks like a stunner. With the plethora of nearly new models around it's mad to pay retail on a new one.

I wonder where the V8's will settle down to, for the long haul?

[Grant3]

Congrats on the new steed, certainly looks like an awesome spec, you have got the lot!!!
I hope you enjoy the beast as much as I enjoyed mine.

Wow - that does look stunning..

But the tales of quality issues just put me right off.

I have a TVR T350 and that was not great.. and had thought AM V8 would be a safe place to put money.. guess it's no Porsche yet (although would not ever buy one of those).
