2008 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Convertible, Perfect Condition, Only 16k Miles on 2040-cars

2008 Aston Martin Vantage V8 convertible low, low reserve Perfect condition
2008 Aston Martin Vantage V8 convertible. It has the 4.3 liter, 380 horse V8
mated to the automated manual Sportshift transmission. It also has navigation,
factory iphone/cellphone integration, and all power options including doors,
trunk, windows, mirrors, and seats. This car is an absolute blast to drive
whether the top is up or down and Aston definitely hit the nail on the head
with the smooth V8 and exhaust note on these cars. Aston Martin is one of the
few cars out there today that are still hand-built and the extremely high level
of craftsmanship definitely shows in this car. The quality of the leather,
stitch-work and overall fit and finish that Aston Martins exhibit is truly
remarkable. An Aston Martin Vantage is not simply another luxury sports car
like a Mercedes SL, Corvette, Nissan GTR, etc... It is a rolling work of art
and a fine example of high performance engineering and quality British
craftsmanship. I assisted a good friend of mine in finding and purchasing
this car in the fall of 2010. He is the second owner of this car and has had it
most of its life at almost 4 years. I am a total car nut and have owned
everything from old Military trucks to Ferrari's and Porsche's so he has
enlisted my help to list it for him. Also, he lives in Tucson and there isn't
an Aston Martin dealership there so he would leave the car with me in
Scottsdale whenever he needed regular service. It is truly an amazing car in
absolutely pristine condition but rarely gets driven with only 16k miles so he
has decided to sell. It has never been driven in rain or bad conditions of any
kind and since we live here in Arizona and it was originally from Southern
California, it has never come close to seeing snow. The color scheme and wheels
is what originally drew us to this car and I think it really sets this Aston
apart from the other Vantages on the road. The exterior color is Tungsten
Silver Metallic with a black soft-top in perfect condition and a unique
two-tone black and saddle brown leather interior that all really do this car
justice. The wheels are custom TSW 19" with Bridgestone Potenza 235/40's
up front and 274/35's in the rear. Everything works perfectly and as it should
on this car and we have had all service work performed at the Aston Martin
dealership in North Scottsdale, although these are not pretentious cars at all
to maintain and do not require any outlandish servicing like many other
ultra-luxury brands. I also have the original Navigation DVD, manual, and 2 sets
of keys/remotes. Unfortunately, prices have slumped off on these cars in recent
months so we don't expect to get anywhere near Kelly Blue Book's current retail
price of $117,102 but it's at least good to know that even Kelly Blue Book
recognizes the value of these cars and of course, that number definitely
couldn't hurt if you ever wanted to finance this car. This Aston has been
meticulously cared for its entire life and has always been store in a climate
controlled garage. Ready to sell fast with an extremely low reserve so bid with
confidence. Call Dave for any more information or showings at 602-625-3283 |

Aston Martin DB10 based on V8 Vantage
Mon, Dec 8 2014If you looked at the new DB10 that Aston Martin revealed just a few days ago and thought as we did that it looked an awful lot like a reskinned Vantage, there's good reason for that. According to Automotive News, a reskinned V8 Vantage is exactly what the DB10 is. Instead of basing the limited-production spymobile on the new architecture it's developing and fitting it with the new engine it's sourcing from Mercedes-AMG, the DB10 is built around the same VH platform and V8 engine as the aging Vantage. Though it's evolved over the years, the VH platform dates back to the V12 Vanquish that launched way back in 2001. The second generation of that platform underpins the Vantage on which the DB10 is reportedly based, powered by a version of Jaguar's AJV8 engine that dates back to 1996. What is new about it is the design language that the new DB10 previews. More than any recent concept – like the DP-100 Vision Gran Turismo, CC100 Speedster or the most recent Zagato one-offs – the DB10 is said to embody the new direction in which Marek Reichman and his team plan to take the company's styling, moving away from the current theme it has employed for the past couple of decades. So while the DB10 you see here may not be packing much in the way of new technology, the subsequent models that will follow its lead hopefully will.
Fisker sues Aston Martin for $100M over The Force 1
Wed, Jan 6 2016We were expecting Henrik Fisker to bring The Force 1, his next vehicle design, to next week's Detroit Auto Show, but that might not happen. In December an attorney for Aston Martin sent Fisker a letter asking the Danish designer to either not show his car in Detroit or to change the design. Fisker responded to that letter by filing $100-million civil extortion lawsuit against Aston Martin in a California Federal court, naming company CEO Andy Palmer, chief spokesman Simon Sproule, and chief creative officer Marek Reichman as defendants. Based on the overhead-view sketch, the English carmaker believes that The Force 1 is "strikingly similar to several of Aston Martin's cars, including the DB10" from the movie Spectre. At the same time the carmaker's letter to Fisker admitted that it doesn't know what the final design will look like, but it appears that the carmaker's intent to "protect its valuable rights if necessary" could not make way for patience. Or perhaps Aston Martin is trying to prevent another Thunderbolt episode before it starts. That incident last year involved the carmaker suing Fisker over his reimagined Vanquish, with the two settling the matter out of court. Fisker says The Force 1 has isn't based on an Aston Martin, and as part of the lawsuit submitted a design breakdown of both the DB10 and The Force 1. Fisker's latest is apparently in partnership with VL Automotive, the company that's been threatening to release a V8-powered Karma sedan for years now, and the Detroit show organizers say they've been working with VL, not Fisker. The lawsuit seeks the $100 million for punitive and compensatory damages and court costs, alleging that Aston Martin's actions "would subject [Fisker] to public humiliation, embarrassment in the industry, and significant financial losses." The public allegations go even further, Fisker's lawyer Jonathan Michaels saying that the English brand, "In an effort to protect itself from further market erosion... conspired and devised a scheme to stomp out Henrik Fisker's competitive presence in the luxury sports car industry."

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee teases return with a Countach
Fri, May 29 2015Unless you have an intense aversion to Jerry Seinfeld, it's hard not to find something to like about his show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. After all, the series combines funny people telling often hilarious stories while riding in ridiculously cool vehicles. The trailer for the sixth season is now online, and based on this tease, this definitely looks worth watching no matter what part of the videos interest you. Of course, it's the automotive portion that really grabs us, and Seinfeld has quite a fleet to showcase for season six. The trailer shows off a Lamborghini Countach, a '57 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible, a classic Volkswagen Beetle in the green and white German Polizei livery, a Morgan, an Aston Martin DB5, and a Ferrari 308. On the more humorous side of things, the guest list at least includes Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jim Carrey, Steve Harvey, Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher and upcoming host of The Daily Show Trevor Noah. Season six of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee premieres on Crackle on Wednesday, June 3, at 11:30 PM ET.
