Ferrari Mailing List: Re: F512M impressions

[Dan Warlick (edwf430]

Yes it is. The Vanquishes to me are the "only" Aston's to have even though 
the clutches are problematic. You have to remember that even though I love 
cars I also look at them from a business and investment perspective. The 
Vanquish was a 460 HP V12 with an MSRP of around $250k. Aluminum chassis, 
Touchtronic Transmission (paddle shift sequential manual). The Vanquish S's 
were in the 270k MSRP or more range. The reason I say it is the only Aston 
is mainly because now for $125k-$135k you can own a sub 5k mile '02 or '03 
Vanquish. Now look at that car sitting next to a DB9. The value of the 
Vanquish is fantastic now as a preowned since with any Aston, once the tail 
lights are used for the first time, they lose value faster than anything 
ever produced. Why spend $180K on a DB9 and lose $40k to $50k in a ear when 
again for $125 to $135 you can have the prettiest Aston built in modern 
history with power, technology and comfort for at least a year and only lose 
$5k-$10k yet actually drive the car 4k or 5k miles. I have had a couple of 
S's too and I have to say you really can't feel the 60HP increase on the 
road with regular spirited driving. Last but not least it doesn't look like 
a Jag running down the road with different plastic parts to designate it as 
an Aston. It's just plain sexy looking to me. One of the sexiest GT cars on 
the road I think. A little heavy handling but fast. Good value.

Is that a Vanquish next to it in the picture? Can I have your impression
of the various Astons (Vanquish/S, DB9)?

Only Pic of the yellow one I had. If it goes through. Now that I think
about it I remember something about there only being 5-6 Yellow U.S.
Cars.
