Aston Martin Vs Ferrari 12 Months Ownership Cost Comparison 

This is very interesting actually! Thanks for sharing! Next year should be cheaper for you though like with my Aston

@@dadcars if I can keep myself from buying something else 🤣

Of course! 😅 👏

I have thought about it… the looks don’t do it for me but I’m willing to give it a try!

Would be fascinating to get an Aston someone has owned for 10 years and a Ferrari that’s been owned for 10 years and do a video on the long term costs

I guess find these will be tricky :-) but you know we all put as much passion in our dadcars as our valet allows 😀 so point is to find a way how to breiten the valet to enjoy more passion. But thats for us but my experience says children memmory is linked to cars in a way that they remember events the car brought them to. Like your dadcar meet :-). So more dadcar meets are needed to think less on how to buy more expensive girlfriend.

An Aston and Maserati comparison would be interesting

@@dadcars Please do it! I think Astons and Maseratis are a more likely comparison and worth exploring please and thank you!

Admiral is worth trying, I’ve heard a few FF owners use them. Sounds awesome DM me on Instagram

@@dadcars ok thanks for that and wil do

🍻 😎

😂… 💯this 👏

Not compareble... Lexus LC500 V8 is slightly... more in the league.. but I agree, AM, Italian Sportscars, Mercedes with ABC suspension are pretty costly...🤔

Yeah Astons don’t have the best reputation for depreciation 🫠

I know what you mean, remarkable how much love and approval the Aston gets from almost everyone

You'd be surprised, people love the Ferrari too - the front engined ones in particular have a similar effect to the Astons. Convertible mid-engine ones meanwhile not so much

I bet the 550 in particular gets Aston level approval across the board

Thanks man! That’s my aim with the channel 😊

No worries Bill it was a pleasure to meet you, I love your Jag 😎

No in fact for this age of car I’d recommend an independent Aston specialist instead

100% Aston so far!

They are both awesome, perhaps I should do a video comparing the driving experience 🤔

There is something nice about having a car that costs you next to nothing a year 😅

😎

Yeah I didn’t mention that as I believe both of these cars have bottomed out now… but certainly that would be a huge factor with a new Aston particularly

Not losing much on a DB9 with fair mileage atm. TBH even the F12 won't lose too much as James didn't buy an ultra-low mileage example IIRC. Maybe a couple of grand on the DB9 and £5k on the F12 over 5000 miles.

@@NomadJRG to be fair I've put a good few miles on the F12 and with the market I could probably sell it and make a few quid

Yeah luck and timing with the sparks and coils made it an expensive year… next year likey to be far lower

🫣

It’s been discontinued now sadly, it’s a urban Kanga

Well the totals in the video are for 12 months… not sure what it would be across many years averaged out. I’ll do a 2 year ownership roundup soon on the Aston

@@dadcars cheers ! I’m looking to buy one however with my lower salary but I am achieving this because for the last 20 years I have been placing money into a bank which now through interest now gives me an extra 8 k a year on top of my salary

Oh yes… that was a nice example of how it is possible to be resourceful, even with a prancing horse 😊

The allure of the prancing horse is strong 😎

@@dadcars Yes mate…I would drop the bucks on a Mezger Engined Porsche before the AM & the F…love thevlog.

@@stevenpike7530 thanks man 😊

Lot of love for the Astons!

My anniversary of my fist year of ownership is on Saturday I added up the first year costs and I tend not to look anymore😂😂😂😂 It makes my eyes water!!

@@kevinlong6482 lol happy anniversary 😅 as long as you go into it eyes open… it’s worth every penny 😎

@@dadcars absolutely You only live once Take it easy chief!

What colour would you have? DB9s look best in silver imo 👌

If you think it looks best in silver, it makes sense to buy one in that colour. I see too many in silver, so I would pick a more interesting colour. Red, blue, green? Any of those would look good on an Aston. There are so many colours or combinations of colour to choose from that for me, choosing grey with a black interior is a missed opportunity.

@@schell0118 green is lovely!… I wanted a 2009 as it’s the start of the glass key revision but before they jump up in price with the DB9.2… not a lot of expensive cars were being specced new in 09 due to the financial crisis so not actually that many 09 cars… most of them are in this colour as were the easiest to sell as showroom stock.

@dadcars Yes, I understand why they are all silver. Often it's because they are leased rather than purchased outright, and leasing companies specify examples which are neutral in colour so as to be inoffensive rather than maximally attractive. I was simply pointing out that if I were to buy one, ease of resale wouldn't determine my colour choice.

Great choice! My favourite car I’ve reviewed on the channel 🙌

Clean sweep so far for the Astons!

🤙

My car was actually filthy on the day I filmed this! But it has been my genuine daily 🤷‍♂️

@@dadcars I have 2010 DB9 SP and I would say it’s easier to work on it yourself then some mainstream cars. Since it’s kind of "hand made" lots of things are possible to "hand repair". However the parts or service cost is very difficult to compare, to Ferrari F12 or other same generation exotics. For example the cost of steering rack for DB9 is $7600, for F12 $3550. The problem of Aston Martin depreciation is that the parts and service in the past we’re more expensive or equal to Ferrari but Ferrari has higher prestige so prestige to service cost Aston Martin is more expensive hence the drastic depreciation, now they are putting Mercedes engines into their cars that would probably bring the service cost down but that also brings the prestige down significantly, Now it became less of an exotic and more of a simple sport car like Mercedes GT.

I drove my first two children home from the hospital in a Golf diesel 😎

Aston was the popular vote I’d say 🤷‍♂️

So much Aston love!

😎

The Aston is 2009 and the Ferrari is 2012… this same pre facelift DB9 was still on sale when the F12 was launched

@@dadcars incredible. They look like a generation apart.

This is true on the current gen models… but they tend to depreciate quickly so you can get better value on cars that are a few years old

Don't want a car with old technology. I think the DB 11 is the most beautiful, but when it turned out that it had old technology, interest cooled. I have seen in my city when Aston Martin test drove DB11, DBX DBX 707; New Vantage, before they were launched. I live at the top of Sweden in a town called Kiruna and is at the foot of the mountains. So Aston Martin and other car brands with their new models. So they test drive between Arjeplog up to Kiruna and sometimes further towards the national border. So I've also seen Rolls Royce when they test drove the Cullinan, Phamton 8, Ghost. Yes, you can list several brands such as Mercedes, Range Rover as well. Remember in 1985 when Ferrari was going to test their engines, they had rebuilt a number of Corvettes to lower the Ferrari engines in. They had to stand all winter in a parking lot at a gas station. When it was coldest then we had -40 degrees Celsius, that cold lasted for 4 weeks. At the end of that period of cold, they started the cars and thought they didn't have the engine heater connected, so they started after a bit of a wait.
