Thanks PJ. This is a car that I would love to own as a driving enthusiast. I definitely want to add a V12 but it's not worth $500k. $250k and I'd be all over this.
I can't believe Aston has not addressed the seat belt position issue. I hacked an 09' Vantage 6spd and the seat belt constantly rubbing on my neck was so irritating and I'm 5, 11". Got in at Aug 2020 for $63CND @20K kms. Out at $91K CND in May 2022 @23.8 kms. Completely stock. Never touched it. Another thing that I really did not like was the wind buffering at speeds was really annoying and killed your ears. Nice car but the value increases were too good to keep it. Happy to see it gone.
your first mistake is thinking there's anything wrong with the V12 Vantage. There may be things you don't like, but to say they are wrong is just hubris
You purchased the wrong V12 Vantage. You could have a 5.9 naturally aspirated V12 and with a manual gearbox. 100 sold in the states so available if you can extract one from those 100 owners who knew what to buy. That was the last V12 Vantage 👍🏻
i probably got a v12 vantage. well, no. but i got a 2008 335xi. and would bet pinks i beat you in a 315 mile trip. wasilla to bearflanks. i got a free tesla that way. electric car morons don't understand where their car gets it's cabin heat.
