i'm tempted by a 2003/2004 Vanquish - how is it on a daily basis: i would put on it 10kmiles a year, drive it in the Central London as my daily and also back an forth between London-Bournemouth and London the continent for surfing/snowboarding trips.
I do derive all year long in all conditions: rain/snow and 3-4 track days

My ex 993TT did that wonderfully, the 360M was almost good but never felt as strongly built as the Porsche (felt fragile let's not be scared of the word).

Running cost wise i have spent anything more or less 3kGBP per annum to maintain the car in top condition (that doesn't not include upgrading/enhancing it)

Lots of recent info on running a Vanquish as a daily drive ......you would be far better with a DB9 or V8V.....you could spend 10k a year keeping the Vanquish on the road
