  1. Ex wife had one of those abarths. I hated it passionately.

    But point taken re costs of living.

  3. I wonder if the sale of extra long jump leads and large crocodile clips have soared?
    Have a street light near my shack.
    (Off topic, soz).

  4. Finally got the new rear tyres that I bought 5 weeks ago fitted on the Vanquish and did a quick visual brake check.

    All good for another few thousand miles.

  7. Hmm, I’m beginning to look at cars now, and a new V8 Vantage has popped onto my radar. What are the running costs like on them?

  9. The new one, as in the merc engine?

    i think they’re pretty reasonable tbh mate
     

  10. Not keen on them at all mate!

    look like a jazzed up ford kuga to me

  11. I’m with Chris Harris on SUV’s. I don’t like them… Despite formerly owning a Macan GTS, I’m with Harris- they’re pointless.

    And I see Ferrari have just brought out a £300k SUV ffs. Hopefully they’ll all be shipped to Arab states and we won’t see them…

  12. Ooo that’s nice.

    i think for that money I’d look at a nice v12s though if it was me (we are all different).

    i find the 80-150k price sector a difficult one as there’s so much good car to be had for the money!

    if you’re set on an Aston, what about a vanquish S ?
    they fluctuate a bit like everything at the moment but you can get them for less than the vantage above you listed
    (Just an example)

    If you want a VH platform v8 Vantage, I honestly wouldn’t bother getting a 2019 car as it’s not radically different to say a 2015 car. You’ll be paying a premium for the year and I reckon probably take a bath on the resale.. maybe.

    you can get absolute mint ones a few years older for much less than that ones up for. Although I appreciate it’s an amr special edition but ultimately how much different is it..

    As for the merc Aston, they’re a really good car. They’ve not been massively popular as the Aston owners sort of rejected them due to the German side. They sold a lot on pcp deals though, many of which are now flooding the market and crashing the prices (fyi).

  13. True, I think I've overdone budget on everything I've ever bought! :imp: Do it!:imp::imp::imp::imp:

    I'm made for life now. As long as I die next month....
