Aston Owners

  1. Great cars :upyeah: How come it was so cheap?(I’m assuming it was cheap). Every one I’ve seen seems to be doing strong dough.

    * just saw ‘new’ what deals they doing??

    Anyhow, enjoy!!

  2. Fucking hell. Quicker than my Turbo S :astonished: Mines a sluggish 3.1 I believe :laughing:
     
  3. I keep looking at bigger intercoolers, Y pipes and intake plenums…. :D

    I did it with my last one but vowed to keep this one standard. My last one was too torquey with the upgrades. Mental…
     
  4. I agree. Who would think a 4 door saloon with a boot could achieve that sort of speed. The territory of truly supercars 30 years ago.

  5. Dealers are knocking between £10-24k off them online. I found a dealer knocking off £24k, plus if you’re a current BMW owner, they’ll give an additional £3.5k discount, so I’ve got £27,500 off list price. There’s a new one coming in 2024, so maybe they’re clearing the decks ready, but that’ll have all sort of hybrid nonsense, and I want one without all that shite.

  6. Right. My mate bought a new M6 a few years back. He got shit tons knocked off that too. And it’s just a well, he took a right old bath with it. M5 much better residuals I believe.
    If you want a bang for buck mental fast saloon, look no further than a tidy M6. If you can see past the front end…

  7. I know this is the Aston thread but as you’re talking M cars, my mate has just bought himself this for his 50th. It was in stock so I assume a decent discount, I never asked.

    Not everyone’s taste but in the flesh it’s gorgeous.

  8. Yeah there are deals on those as well. But the lure of a twin turbo V8 was impossible to ignore!
     
  9. Insurance renwal day yesterday, four digit premium this year but agreed value with up to 50% increase if the worst happens and I have to spend more to get an equivalent spec/mileage replacement. Dosen't help that I have to keep it on the driveway overnight as well. But at least I've got another year of quality motoring to look forwards to :)

  10. Seems hefty. But I guess if it’s sat on the drive the underwriters will deem it slightly risky.
    911 turbo S for me and Mrs Cringe (both 3 points) £540. A lot of people SORN through winter but I like to keep all documentation live. You get some glorious, crisp winter days and a pair of turbo’s love some chilly air :D

  11. Replacement value would be hefty (6 figures) which I think is the bulk of it but I also get fully comp on other cars, breakdown/recovery choice of repairer if needed etc etc. Undoubtedly cheaper if kept in a garage but it's too big plus the garage is full of bikes.

  14. Bigger house? I should charge for my invaluable advice :innocent:

  15. If only, I'm nearly a pensioner on the breadline and the 6 bikes in the house will have to be sold eventually if I'm to stay out of the workhouse.:worried:
     
  16. Well at least you’re enjoying your dough. Good lad!!

  17. My insurance is 450 a year

    31 years old and I’ve got the missus on it who’s had a history of shunting every car she’s owned :joy:

    Cheaper to insure than my van :laughing:

  18. Sounds like a fair deal , I paid £972 last year and a chunk more this year but I have to leave it on the driveway and I've covered it for what it owes me.
     

  19. Yeah, mine is freakishly cheap to insure. Just renewed it as it goes.

    Cleaning day, spent several hours going over all the leather (there's a lot of it) then windows inside and out and finally a polish up on the paintwork.
