Is this the new Vantage Roadster (250 miles only) at 12k below list ?

"Engine Size: 4.3"

Surely it's just a previous model that was registered right at the end of the model life ?

Looks like a 4.7 to me, strange because they have a higher mileage one for £10k more!

Nice spec & a great buy particularly if you already have a V8 & can get Aston's PX assistance!

Don't forget, when looking at how much the car has lost, no-one is paying full list for new 4.7s at the moment!

People are still happily paying list for the new 4.7, but clearly when volumes drop deals are there to be done as the manufacturer has spare capacity. If you are serious & don't have a lumpy PX deals can be done wink

If they are they're MAD. New customers will get at least 10% off. Established more than that.

I picked mine up yesterday. No-one is paying anywhere near list. Hopefully the 50% cut in volume will help to make residuals a little better in the future.

50% cut in production ?!?! WOW I didn't think it would be that much..... so Aston will probably be making around 5000 cars a year ?

Hi Grant. Had hoped to get out and drive it (and take photos!) today but the weather is crap.

Tomorrow is looking better so fingers crossed. Even on the 50 minute drive home yesterday it felt much stonger than the 4.3. Sportspack suspension a revelation too.

Please let the wind and rain bugger off.
