What does everybody think of this colour combo???
Personally, I love it! But does it take the class aspect away from an Aston...

Personally I think it's great. I seem to recall it was for sale at Lancaster Cambridge earlier this year at around £66,000 or so. The current price looks like a bargin and someone has probably taken quite a hit - maybe we all have! I showed it to my wife and she hated the colour, so I eventually bought a midnight blue/sandstorm AMV8, and I am very happy.

53.950? Bit cheap isnt it? I paid 74 for my 07 plate Coupe (4000 miles) in feb this year although mine has a slighlty better spec.
Still not bothered as I wont be ever selling it only dealer changing it for something else (08 Roadster)

Thank you for [most of] the nice comments -- the car really does look great in white, although a little bling for an Aston I'll admit. I'm in California at the moment and every second car here is white, such a difference to the UK. Like 'they' say, if you are going to have a white car, make sure its a perfect shape underneath and the Vantage obviously delivers there (in my opinion, only the Alfa 8C comes close in that department).
Interesting comments on the wheels -- it had silver wheels on originally and I thought it didn't look right, kind of incomplete - a white car needs dark wheels and windows... I'm suprised it hasn't sold quickly - although appreciate what's going on right now, and if one of the few interested parties don't go through it'll be back at the dealer in a week or so... shame, as it is a very sorted Aston. I'd certainly keep it if it were not for my addiction in changing cars so frequently... any bidders?

I nearly went for Lambo Balloon white for mine in 2006 after seeing all the Lambo's at Geneva in 2005 in that colour, but then I realised that I could hardly walk due to too much champers, so I bottled it at order time. I think the DB9 in white looks too Saudi (if you know what I mean) but the Vantage looks good, esp with the contrast the wheels. Personally I would not buy it as it would make me look like I was trying too hard to be trendy, and would look daft getting out of it. But to the right person it would be fantastic, I am thinking lady, blond and leggy...yum yum..
Perhaps advertise it in the Style section of the Sunday Times...
Such A LOT of car for the money, I really don't understand why anyone would get a new one when for 50k less you can have lovely one like this. Unlucky for me when I got mine second hand ones were £10k more than new ones.

If you don't mind me asking, what is a dealer likely to offer you? Surely you will get shafted?Interesting comments on the wheels -- it had silver wheels on originally and I thought it didn't look right, kind of incomplete - a white car needs dark wheels and windows...
