This car was a real head turner. It went to many car shows and because of its limited production it always had a lot of interest. A joy to drive, 12 cylinders of pure acceleration, but it drove just as beautifully at cruise speeds as it did on the highway. I will continue to enjoy this car as an Aston fan for life.

Very good value if you are ready for a few highly priced maintenance items. Mine at 36,000 miles needed $3,000 spent on 12 new coil packs and 12 new plugs and associated seals and gaskets. All the V12 Vantage engines need this at this mileage. Be wary of it. It's expensive and the engine misses and puts on a check engine light if you do not do it. Performance is fantastic, looks are great although a bit like a Jaguar XK8. The interior is a bit basic and the finish is not as good as you would think it should be for a car that was $140,000 when new.

Of all the Aston Martin DB series cars, this is the least expensive to purchase and, per Hagerty's weekly review, is likely to appreciate. Amazingly, it looks just like all the Astons that superceed it. The car can't be beaten for looks, reliability, comfort, the sheer thrill of the ride and, last but by no means least, the looks of envy you get from all you overtake. Please remember, the low, low mileage, previous celebrity ownership and having just been inspected and serviced by the local Aston martin dealership.
