2008 Aston Martin Vantage V8 convertible low, low reserve Perfect condition
2008 Aston Martin Vantage V8 convertible. It has the 4.3 liter, 380 horse V8
mated to the automated manual Sportshift transmission. It also has navigation,
factory iphone/cellphone integration, and all power options including doors,
trunk, windows, mirrors, and seats. This car is an absolute blast to drive
whether the top is up or down and Aston definitely hit the nail on the head
with the smooth V8 and exhaust note on these cars. Aston Martin is one of the
few cars out there today that are still hand-built and the extremely high level
of craftsmanship definitely shows in this car. The quality of the leather,
stitch-work and overall fit and finish that Aston Martins exhibit is truly
remarkable. An Aston Martin Vantage is not simply another luxury sports car
like a Mercedes SL, Corvette, Nissan GTR, etc... It is a rolling work of art
and a fine example of high performance engineering and quality British
craftsmanship. I assisted a good friend of mine in finding and purchasing
this car in the fall of 2010. He is the second owner of this car and has had it
most of its life at almost 4 years. I am a total car nut and have owned
everything from old Military trucks to Ferrari's and Porsche's so he has
enlisted my help to list it for him. Also, he lives in Tucson and there isn't
an Aston Martin dealership there so he would leave the car with me in
Scottsdale whenever he needed regular service. It is truly an amazing car in
absolutely pristine condition but rarely gets driven with only 16k miles so he
has decided to sell. It has never been driven in rain or bad conditions of any
kind and since we live here in Arizona and it was originally from Southern
California, it has never come close to seeing snow. The color scheme and wheels
is what originally drew us to this car and I think it really sets this Aston
apart from the other Vantages on the road. The exterior color is Tungsten
Silver Metallic with a black soft-top in perfect condition and a unique
two-tone black and saddle brown leather interior that all really do this car
justice. The wheels are custom TSW 19" with Bridgestone Potenza 235/40's
up front and 274/35's in the rear. Everything works perfectly and as it should
on this car and we have had all service work performed at the Aston Martin
dealership in North Scottsdale, although these are not pretentious cars at all
to maintain and do not require any outlandish servicing like many other
ultra-luxury brands. I also have the original Navigation DVD, manual, and 2 sets
of keys/remotes. Unfortunately, prices have slumped off on these cars in recent
months so we don't expect to get anywhere near Kelly Blue Book's current retail
price of $117,102 but it's at least good to know that even Kelly Blue Book
recognizes the value of these cars and of course, that number definitely
couldn't hurt if you ever wanted to finance this car. This Aston has been
meticulously cared for its entire life and has always been store in a climate
controlled garage. Ready to sell fast with an extremely low reserve so bid with
confidence. Call Dave for any more information or showings at 602-625-3283 |

Aston Martin and Daimler continue talks on SUV project, CEO required
Tue, 01 Apr 2014The Aston Martin Lagonda SUV concept revealed at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show didn't earn the plaudits the company is used to when it reveals new models, and it has lived an uncertain life ever since. Thought to have been scrapped along with the entire revival of the Lagonda brand, then thought to have been resurrected due to Chinese, Middle Eastern and Russian demand, another year passed before we heard more definitive talk about an Aston Martin expansion when AutoCar reported that the Lagonda could be built on one of Mercedes-Benz's AMG SUV platforms.
A report in Automotive News Europe indicates plans have gotten serious, its unnamed sources saying that the English carmaker is talking to Daimler "to extend their cooperation to building an SUV." Neither Daimler, Aston Martin nor Investindustrial, the managing partner among Aston Martin's ownership consortium, would comment. But with Investindustrial having pledged to expand the range, competitors like Bentley, Maserati and Lamborghini getting into the SUV racket and clear demand from current and future customers, it's easy to believe Aston Martin is working hard to put the pieces together.
One further potential bump on the road to an Aston SUV is the company's search for a new CEO. Ulrich Bez relinquished to top spot at the company at the end of 2013, and Aston reportedly will not finalize its model strategy without a new CEO in place.
AMG's partnership with Aston Martin won't extend past engines, for now
Sun, 27 Apr 2014There's been talk of late about the technical partnership between Aston Martin and the AMG division of Mercedes-Benz going beyond engines to include Mercedes sports car and SUV platforms for the English brand, perhaps as a way to kickstart the development of a Lagonda SUV. But AMG CEO Tobias Moers, speaking to Top Gear, said that's effectively out of the question because, "No one has the time to discuss any more involvement than that for now."
Moers believes Aston Martin will be so busy "for the next two to three years" integrating its AMG-sourced engine and electronics that it won't have the resources to devote to working out a platform-sharing deal; Daimler sources have already said that Aston Martin's development budget "just isn't enough" to even consider a whole new model, and that greater cooperation would require something like a larger ownership stake in the boutique sports car maker.
AMG, in the meantime, is busy with the recent launch of the GLA45 AMG, the coming C63 AMG and its rumored 4.0-liter V8, the Mercedes-AMG GT and its assault on the Porsche 911 among who-knows-what other skunkworks projects. Moers said the technical partnership is about profit for AMG, clear and simple, and, "All these rumors about platform sharing are nice but no one at Aston or Mercedes has the time to discuss them."
Maybach and Aston Martin alliance talks fall apart
Tue, 27 Sep 2011If you have, like us, been salivating at the notion of a new generation of Maybach and Lagonda ultra-luxury crafts built by Aston Martin, we've got some bad news: According to reports emanating from Germany, talks between AML and Daimler have broken down.
The proposal under negotiation would have seen Daimler outsourcing production of the next family of Maybach models to Aston Martin, which in return would benefit from Mercedes-Benz platforms and engines - not only for its svelte GTs, but also for its own future Lagonda line of limousines and luxury SUVs. That, and a boatload of money - or at least that's what AML was reportedly seeking, an issue that served as the stumbling block over which the deal reportedly collapsed.
That's not to say the two parties couldn't still reach some sort of a compromise, but short of that, Daimler may opt to either shut down Maybach altogether, find another partner, or take another stab at building new models internally.
