Keep us posted. Hope it turns out to be 'the one'!

 

I read on this forum that if you drive a Vantage in Vegus you need a two tone Rolex u gonna love the Vantage best looking car ever... read that again Ever

Had mine out today and had a blast lets see pics when you get it, remember this is the AM forum section and we are enthusiastic about our cars

 

Spoken like a true gent. Thank you! I'm so excited. It's been a progression.
'03 & '07 BMW X5 - great SUV - sold for the next BMW
2008 Honda S2000 Roadster - a blast to drive - sold for the next one
2004 911 C4S Cabriolet - amazing and very reliable - still have this one
2013 BMW M3 Cabriolet - loved it, but was just totaled by uninsured motorist
....??? Now it's time for my Vantage. No more compromises.

 

Agreed Capt Greg, Not since the E-type have we seen such a beautiful car. I marvel every time I look at mine. You never actually own an Aston, you merely look after it for the next generation... (yes, stolen from, you got it, a watch ad!!!)

 

Hello Guys,

I've been lurking for a while - soaking up the information. Thank you everyone for helping us noob's.

I too am closing in on a Vantage and hope to have my 'first' very soon.

Cheers from Portland, OR.

Jim

 

Congrats!!

 

Congats! You will love it!!!!

 

Cheers, thanks!

 

Well, I pulled the trigger on an '09 Vantage Roadster this week! I'm so excited!! It will be delivered from PA in about 2 weeks.

I hope this thread stays open as an open forum to questions about little quirks to those of us new to this breed of car. Thank you!

That's a great looking car, and with new clutch and quicksilver as a bonus, you're going to be very happy with that this summer

Post more pics when it arrives.

 

Thank you! To be honest I didn't know anything about the quicksilver and missed the clutch completely. I was figuring I'd be using the extended warranty for a new clutch this year.

I appreciate your input! I'll post as soon as it arrives.

 

Well then it's a really good thing it has a new clutch -- warranty doesn't cover consumables like clutch & brakes. Would have been a nasty and expensive surprise.

Seems a very good price for what you got too.

 

Thanks. I actually paid less than listed. I settled on $75k. : )

 

Interesting that the dealer advertised it as a 4.3 when it's clearly a 4.7 (much better for you). Search here on how to do sportshift clutch learns to make that new clutch last longer and improve shifting.

 

Beautiful car - congratulations, you're going to love it.

I'm hoping to have my deal closed within a few days (fingers crossed!).
