Looking for a 2002 Aston Martin Vanquish?

[757driver]

In the market for a silver 2002 Vanquish? Avoid VIN SCFAC23342B500247 as it has 22,000 plus miles instead of 20000, is missing most maintenance records, has leather coming apart from both doors, and hasn't been kept up to date as per AM's rec'd maintenance schedule of 6 months or 7500 miles. There are better examples out on the market than this car. Beware.

The majority of both DB7 Vantages and Vanquishes do not have their services every 6 months as was recommended by Aston martin and it is common practise to have them serviced once a year as any dealer or specialist would inform you, I would not find this an issue if I was examining a car for a potential purchaser, Mileage at 22000 is still quite low,

Are you warning that the car is being advertised incorrectly

guess theres a lot to be said for listing service history in the ad to set expectations..."full history" means differnt things to different people...could just be a stamp in the book from new, or every receipt/MOT from new depending on your view ....

one here looks like its gone nearly 2 years between services, albeit only doing 1-2K miles in that time

...among other things. When it came time to take the car to Newport Beach AM Dealership to have a PPI done, the dealership pulled the plug on our deal, sold it to somebody else and kept my deposit. To avoid "defaming" this dealership (even though everything I have written is true), I am not able to name them.

eh? how can they keep your deposit and sell it to someone else? didnt you get a receipt for the deposit or similar so you can claim it back? sounds pretty outrageous to me

I refuse to buy a car that has been misrepresented and/or hiding things.
