Unique 2007 Aston Martin V8 Vantage 6-spd Manual With Full 1yr Factory Warranty on 2040-cars
Melbourne, Florida, United States
Your chance to own a truly unique vehicle!
I'm selling my beautiful 2007 V8 Vantage after years of trouble-free ownership only because I placed an order through my dealer for a brand new 2015 model and I just got word from them that they are going to build it in July. The car is Factory Assured by Aston Martin and is being sold with a FULL 1-yr Premium Aston Martin Warranty. Financing is available from my dealer as a favor to me for being a valued customer. There is much more information than I can cram into this ad, so I created a beautiful website that has all the details you would ever want to know. Please go here to check it out if interested: Vantage 4 Sale or visiting http://karlfranz.com/vantage4sale. Car is located in Florida. Serious buyers only please. Included OptionsOrdering a new Vantage usually involves sitting down with the sales person and going through the laundry list of options that can be added to your car. The items in this list do surprise some that expect such an expensive vehicle to come fully loaded. However, in the world of exotic cars, it seems that everything is optional and prices can escalate quickly. The other part that is overwhelming is the multitude of color choices for every single surface of the car. Some are a bit adventurous when it comes to these choices, but the reality is that most people expect an Aston Martin to be Gray, Silver or Black. Due to this, the majority of cars come in one of those shades. Below are the options included when this car was ordered.
Additional UpgradesOwners usually spend thousands of dollars after their purchase of a Vantage in order to add many of the popular factory upgrades that update the look of the car. Many of these upgrades are items that were introduced for later model years and Aston Martin made them available for earlier models. Some other upgrades are unique and not available on any other vehicle. When comparing sale prices please note this car already has most of the popular upgrades that you would spend thousands of dollars adding to another car after purchase. And, since they are already installed, they can be included in the financing. This means you don't have to come up with extra cash to purchase and install these later and you can enjoy an updated vehicle from day one.
ExteriorThe exterior features many of the most desirable upgrades for a Vantage including the beautiful Sport Pack wheels, clear tail lights, and N420 side sills. It is painted in a beautiful Tungsten Silver which is, arguably, the most popular color for a modern-day Aston Martin. Tungsten is a beautiful medium gray metallic which so much metal flake that it’s almost as if a jar of glitter had been spilt on the car prior to applying the clear coat. So why does the car appear blue in the pictures? Because the car has been meticulously wrapped in 3M Scotchprint 1080 Matte Metallic Blue film. I did this just for fun to display the car at the Celebration Exotic Car Show for which I am a concours judge every year. The show is a charity event to raise funds for the Make A Wish Foundation, and the children really love to see wild and exotic cars. A wrap job like this usually costs approximately $5,000-7,500 as it is very labor intensive. It requires bumpers, lights and other items to be removed so you can properly cover all seams and surfaces. This includes the door sills and jambs which continue the illusion that the car is truly painted this color. As a side-benefit, the film protects the gorgeous paint underneath from fading and (to a lesser degree) chipping/road rash. It also makes washing the car incredible easy as most dirt can be simply wiped off with a soft microfiber towel and some matte detailing spray. I have left the film on because so many people like the way it looks. It does make the car stand out and this can be a good or bad thing depending on how much attention you want your car to draw. So, I’m leaving it to the buyer whether they would prefer the matte blue film on or off. Upon purchase you have the choice to have me remove the film for free or keep it and remove it later yourself. I will be glad to provide you with instruction on how to properly remove the film if you choose to this yourself at a later time. I can also provide excess film material in the event a surface needs to be redone for any reason. InteriorMany pictures of Vantages for sale on the Internet tend to not showcase the true condition of the vehicle. It is not uncommon for someone to be interested in a vehicle and, after looking at fabulous pictures, makes a trip to the seller or dealership only to find that the car is not how the pictures represented it. They find scratches on the seats, door panels, leather that is shrinking and pulling from having the car sitting in the sun all day, broken plastic pieces, missing or scratched stereo controls, paint chips in the door pulls, worn seat belts, etc. I guarantee you that you won’t find any of these in my car. People who have seen the interior usually guess that it has less than 5,000 miles. I'm often told that it even smells new (although I must admit that I must have become accustomed to it as I don’t notice it anymore). Overall, I think you will find that this is a very nice example that has been fastidiously cared-for by someone who respects the car, follows the factory-prescribed maintenance schedule and keeps his car garaged in a climate-controlled environment except when it is actually being driven. Most Aston Martins are ordered with "safe" interior colors. These are colors that dealers have chosen so as to increase the likelihood of a sale by appealing the the largest demographic. This explains why the majority of Vantages for sale have a monotone Obsidian Black leather interior. Unfortunately, "safe" usually translates to "boring". Not this one. The black interior has been complemented by hints of navy blue Alcantara that is both luxurious and soft to the touch. Door cards and the center armrest have the added feature of being padded in a diamond quilt stitch pattern. This beautiful synthetic suede is used only on high end vehicles and racecars due to its high cost compared to other materials (over $150/yard.) The standard Aston Martin interior takes approximately 70 hours of manual labor to create. With this car, however, it took considerably more. Reliability and MaintenanceWell MaintainedI have full and extremely detailed history of the car that I am willing to provide the buyer. This includes services done by the previous owner. (I'm the second owner and bought the car with ~9K miles.) Service has been done by my local Aston Martin dealer's service department. Their tech, was chosen last year as the number one Master Technician in North America. If you are considering this car amongst other examples, I can put you in contact with him or anyone else at the dealership to get a feel for how good a condition this car is in. You won't be disappointed. ReliableAs the maintenance records of this car will show, this car has been extremely reliable. The only work that has been done to it were for service bulletins issued by Aston Martin. These services were:
These tasks were done by the dealership under warranty; the same warranty that comes included with this car now. Make sure that any car you consider has had these service bulletins done as they can be expensive if done otherwise. Please note that this car was not subject to the throttle pedal recall that affected some later 2007 and newer models. Driven, but not AbusedIf you spend any time on any of the online forums you will quickly learn that a low-mileage "garage queen" is not the ideal car it would appear to be at first glance. Cars like these are meant to be driven and reward you with much higher reliability when you do so. My car has mileage that I would consider “adequate but not excessive”. It has never been drag-raced or used on a race track. Pictures of car without wrap
It is rather unusual to see a privately sold car come with a warranty. However, this one will come with record of a full 140-point inspection and a full 1-year Aston Martin Premium Warranty included in the sale price. This alone is worth thousands of dollars. The warranty goes into effect on the day of purchase which means you get an entire year, not just a few months left over. The buyer also has the option to buy additional years for an additional cost. This is the same warranty offered on brand new vehicles, not some 3rd party after-market policy, which means that most things (outside of wear-and-tear items) are fully covered including roadside assistance. Note: It's worth mentioning that most modern-day Aston Martins are very reliable. However, there is an extra sense of peace of mind in knowing that you are covered in the event of an unexpected repair. Financing and other Purchase ServicesAlthough the car is being sold privately, The dealership will facilitate your purchase as a favor to me for being a valued customer. They will help you take care of the paperwork, collect/pay sales tax, handle the title application, issue a temporary tag, arrange for financing, take in a trade, and even arrange for transport. This will help ease any issues usually involved with an individual sale since they have experts on staff who handle these kinds of transactions literally on a daily basis. Of course if you can/wish to make a cash purchase, that is an option as well. Payment can be made by certified manager's check. Other DetailsIf you are seriously in the market for a Vantage, I think you will be hard-pressed to find a finer example than this. When comparison shopping on the Internet, please keep in mind that it is sometimes difficult to judge one car's worth versus another. I think that when you take into consideration its history, maintenance, overall condition, full factory-backed warranty, available financing, ample references and thousands of dollars invested in the most desirable upgrades, you will find this is a very good deal indeed. |

LeTV's SEE Project will introduce new EV in Shanghai
Thu, Oct 8 2015It's very unlikely that many people here in the states will have heard of Beijing-based LeTV. Aston Martin, on the other hand? That's pretty stylish company. LeTV is working on an electric-vehicle project called SEE (Super Electric Eco-system). The concept version is slated to debut at the Shanghai Motor Show next April. LeTV says that that same month, the car will "roll of the production line," as well. That sounds awfully optimistic, to us, but we'll just leave that alone for now. The racing-car-shaped vehicle, which will have "high- and low-powered" versions, is about 11'5" long and 5'4" wide. That's about a foot shorter and a few inches narrower than a Mini Cooper. The twist, such as it is, comes from the fact that LeTV says it will develop the model with the help of both Aston Marin and BAIC Motor Corp., which adds a shade of legitimacy to the project. Aston Martin is in the process of launching its battery-electric Rapide sedan, which will have 800 horsepower and a 200-mile single-charge range, so that would ostensibly be a competitor to Tesla. The Rapide EV could run as much as $250,000. As for BAIC, is has been looking to expand its role in the plug-in vehicle sector since 2009, when it debuted a division called Beijing New Energy Automotive Co. Just last month, BAIC opened an electric-vehicle research and development center in California's Silicon Valley, the company's first outside China. You can take a look at LeTV's press release below. LeTV Partners With Aston Martin to Deliver Next Generation Electric Vehicles BEIJING and BANGALORE, October 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The most significant (monetarily) deal that came out of Angela Merkel's visit to India was that of a Euro 1 billion solar power fund solidifying India's stance to develop 100GW solar capacity by 2022. These are positive moves in a time when the focus on the effects of climate change are intensifying and how economies across the globe decide to combat the effects of it. One particular way in which India could benefit hugely from alternative fuels is from the perspective of vehicles. The nation recently joined the Electric Vehicles Initiative, a forum for global cooperation on the development and deployment of Electric Vehicles (EVs). With an interest in the Indian market, LeTV, a multinational company based in Beijing, announced its electric car plan on December 9th, 2014, when its founder, Mr.
Best luxury SUVs of 2022 and 2023
Mon, Sep 12 2022Once upon a time, the idea of a luxury SUV meant a Range Rover, and even that was pretty agricultural by modern standards. Then Jeep Grand Cherokees and Ford Explorers started offering fancy, range-topping versions followed soon by Lexus, BMW and Mercedes dipping their toes in the water. And then the floodgates opened. Today, there is a staggering number of luxury SUVs available in every shape, size and price point. There are electric luxury SUVs like the Tesla Model X and Jaguar I-Pace, as well as gas-swilling, high-performance SUVs like the BMW X5 M and Cadillac Escalade V. Sports car makers Porsche, Aston Martin and Lamborghini have even dived in. But of this great many, which are the best luxury SUVs? We sat down, scoured our reviews, took some votes, had some discussions and came up with the luxury SUVs we view as the best. They are listed alphabetically within the six segments listed below. Best Subcompact Luxury SUV  |  Best Compact Luxury SUV  |  Best Midsize Luxury SUV (Two-Row) Best Midsize Luxury SUV (Three-Row)  |  Best Flagship Luxury SUV (Two-Row)  |  Best Flagship Luxury SUV (Three-Row) Best subcompact luxury SUVs Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class Why it stands out: Outstanding space and versatility; legit luxury interior; amusing GLB 35 versionCould be better: Overwhelming and confusing tech interface Most subcompact luxury SUVs are a dubious value, with cramped interiors of marginal quality and unrefined driving dynamics. You'd be much better off paying less money for a loaded, non-luxury compact SUV. The Mercedes GLB is different, though. Its boxy design provides space few other subcompact SUV can match (luxury or otherwise), while its cabin design and feature content are in keeping with pricier Mercedes models. The quality's not exactly up to GLC standards, nor is driving refinement, but the difference is appropriate for how much you're saving and still perfectly acceptable. There's nothing dubious about buying a GLB.   Volvo XC40 Why it stands out: More features for the money; spacious and versatile interior; distinctive design; electric versionCould be better: Fuel-efficient base engine only available with FWD Most subcompact luxury models feel a bit like cheap knockoffs of their bigger, pricier brand mates. The XC40, by contrast, is a break from the Volvo norm in a good way.
Maybach and Aston Martin alliance talks fall apart
Tue, 27 Sep 2011If you have, like us, been salivating at the notion of a new generation of Maybach and Lagonda ultra-luxury crafts built by Aston Martin, we've got some bad news: According to reports emanating from Germany, talks between AML and Daimler have broken down.
The proposal under negotiation would have seen Daimler outsourcing production of the next family of Maybach models to Aston Martin, which in return would benefit from Mercedes-Benz platforms and engines - not only for its svelte GTs, but also for its own future Lagonda line of limousines and luxury SUVs. That, and a boatload of money - or at least that's what AML was reportedly seeking, an issue that served as the stumbling block over which the deal reportedly collapsed.
That's not to say the two parties couldn't still reach some sort of a compromise, but short of that, Daimler may opt to either shut down Maybach altogether, find another partner, or take another stab at building new models internally.
