Hi folks. I posted this earlier http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=576... and have spent another sad evening looking around the classifieds for 2004/2005/2006 Vanquishes. I'm now confused as to what spec I'd be getting if I bought one.

  • Do they all have 6CD as standard?
  • I have seen several lised as having SatNav but where is it? (I didn't think the older Vanqs had the same pop-up units that DB9 and V8Vs have)
  • 2+2 I understand, but what is 2+0? No back seats? What's there instead?
Muppet questions I know, sorry.

Cheers,
Gixxer

Hi there,


All have 6 CD changer in boot.

Older Sat Navs are in built into the entertainment system (so not a pop up display). It is easy to use but has basic graphics with arrows, directions and sound, based off a seperate CD also in the boot. I have one - and it's pretty basic / rubbish in comparison with a more modern Road Angel or similar 3D display with speed camera warning systems.

2+0 is normally at least about £1,500 cheaper than a 2+2. There's basically a wide rear shelf in place of the seats. For what it's worth, the rear seats can actually fit in at least one extra normal size passenger in comfort.

Enjoy.


JK

I respectfully disagree smile

from an investment POV the "S" is rarer and it is indeed the last of the line hence the best sorted

Actually, the 2004 Vanquish with the SDP is the rarest.
