This reminds me of the black and tan '12 manual DBS Volante I saw listed at Miller Motorsports just after I got my '11 DB9 (also from Marshall Goldman). These are the only two cars I've seen that would make me feel more elite than I do currently. I'd love to know the asking price, since its unattainability is comforting.

 

bought a big plastic bottle of durkees chili powder the other day at FoodMax. you wouldn't BELIVE what they wanted for it.... $8.99!!!

 

And if everyone in the metro Denver area gave you a dime you would be in the neighborhood of the "quote".

 

Firstly, hello all. 1st time poster, longtime lurker here.
Just to add to this, I'm sad to say that I tried to put a deposit and order in for a manual Vantage last week, as I had heard the rumors of it being cut, and was denied. Book closed.

 

The local AM dealer has or had one a few weeks ago.

 

Yup. It’s been there for about 6 months. It’s gorgeous but, i was only going to plunk down deposit if I could spec from new. Since that option has been taken, I will roll the dice on what’s available when it’s more financially prudent for me.
btw, hopefully see ya at the next pub night when it happens.

 

How much do they want? $300k?

 

$280K and it may already be sold.....maybe I shouldn’t be surprised given it’s Beverly Hills and money grows on trees these days.

 

money doesn't grow on trees... it's created our of thin air... and no end in sight!

 

I wonder if there is a way to find out how many manual cars were made in each model year.

 

Who knows when that'll start up again! Hopefully mask free too. Did you test drive the new manual Vantage?

 

I think we'll have one this month? Def next month. I've only driven the auto Vantage (which I really enjoyed) but I won't pester the dealer for a test until I'm ready to move. I'm sure based on some reviews I've seen that it's acceptable . Also, something about beggars and choosers rings a bell,

 

Astonmartins.com is a good resource on the topic. There were a couple specific articles printed in the AMOC magazines, too. From what I gather, they don't automatically gather such information but Tim does the work to compile statistics. If I were AM, I'd have a more accessible database of quantities, as this directly affects the value of their low-volume brand.
