Feb EVO - V8V Free Running

[1st_petrolhead]

There is an article about 30 drivers cars you can run for a year for nothing.

Its refering to no deprciation and the Aston V8V is one of them sayinmg the 06 models should be about £38k now.

Just interested in your views?

[bogie]

maybe so if you bought a low miler private, put 10K on it and sell private ...doubt you would lose much

usually its buying and selling via dealers that costs you £5K a time (or more) so whether the car depreciates or not, you can end up out of pocket

Funny just been talking to some of my customers about this.

We belive that the prices the 05/06 have hit are as low as they will go for the next , well the rest of this year anyway.

So not a bad shout really.

The thing that struck me about the whole feature was the running costs for the Vantage, which I assumed when I bought my one, would not be cheap, but presumed it would have been less than Ferrari (360 Modena)and Lamborghini (Gallardo). However if you believe EVO, they are both cheaper to insure and service.

Can that be true, I'm sure there are Aston owners that will have owned these other cars, were they cheaper?

The AM V8V (06) is cheaper to own and service than my current Gallardo (07). Have had both.

[Southwestdave]

Which is what I would have thought. Evo says the Lambo is a £1100 less to insure and £380 less to service. Very strange.

[UH-Matt]

Evo is wrong.

I have had both serviced and both had basic annual service without any faults/fixes, and the AM was a bit cheaper.

Also the AM was a lot cheaper to insure, the car was half the value of the G though.
