Hmmmm.. maybe a better option to get a 4.3 give it to paramount for a supercharger and maybe have enough change for a matt black wrap . All for under £55k .

Or look at the Aston (400bhp) or Prodrive (425bhp) upgrades available for the 4.3.

yes, please go for it and be the UK guinea pig, get rid of all the teething problems and do 30K miles without blowing your engine ...then the rest of us can buy one too LOL

Just been offered a brand new 4.3 Roadster for £66k.

So tempted it hurts

£20k down and £580 per month.

Haven't even attempted to negotiate.

RJE - you'll get one for 60k if you negotiate hard enough and it's dealer stock. AM struggled to move the last of the 08MY roadsters, hence really heavy discounts.

£60k?

That is too good to refuse surely?

Why am I phrasing that as a question?

In all seriousness, I am now struggling to find a reason not to go for it, at £60k, that would leave room for the performance upgrade(s) and the rear light change (sorry but that is something I plan to do as it looks sooo good with a dark colour).

I plan to see what the dealer is prepared to do on price over the next few days, I can't focus on anything else at the mo...feel like when I bought my first TVR years ago!

I'm in the same boat as you - looking for one of the unregistered ones at 60. The last one I was offered was a mildly unpleasant colour combo, hence passed it by (it's since sold). I hear the coupes are going for a little more, as there's less of them, but almost all the 08MY stock is now sold. AM are auctioning off a few more cars this week to the dealers via sealed bids, with that stock becoming available from Friday, so could be more deals to come.

I'm looking for blk/blk coupe or roadster. Dick Lovett have an 08/08 at around 60, but seems silly to pay that when there's new ones kicking around for the same money.

[RJE1966]

Seems we are, but I'd be happy-ish to get the right car for £62-65k. The one I have my eye on is a dark colour, but doesn't have the premium stereo. From what I've read on here that seems to make little difference to 'actual' hifi sound quality....but hey ho, you've got the best soundtrack anyway?

If you don't mind me asking what have you decided about financing?

[influential]

Well, maybe we can do a deal for two, once we find a willing dealer! Am keeping options on re: method of payment - financing appears available in the c.6% APR if required (not via AM).

If anybody knows some deals on DBS' and wants to do a bulk buy then count me in!

[influential]

Not seen AM offering huge dealer incentives on the DBS model - I guess much smaller supply issues. A few kicking around in the 110s. What an amazing car - if I could get one at the right price, I'd buy one tomorrow without question.

As soon as I see one for sub £100K (and I can wait till August when I am back in the UK full time) I will do it!! Gorgeous!! I never liked the DB9 but the DBS has me smitten!!!

im waiting until next year - for a 6 month old V12 Vantage under £100K

engine (and other good bits) from the DBS, but in the smaller, lighter, Vantage chassis ...that will do nicely

I like that idea too

Influential,

I thought you were buying one of the £70k DB9s a couple of days ago, more dreams?

[influential]

Dreams it would appear, yes - have received no further communication from the person promoting them, so back to original plan with the same budget.

Who would you get 6% from?

[influential]

I hear Lombard are keen at the moment, subject to perfect credit history and ensuring the introducer is keeping commission to a minimum etc. Last I was offered was in that region.
