I am a new owner of a 2006 v8V manual shift. 17,400 miles on it when I bought it. About 17,800 on it now. I test drove the car and had no issues. I did not have a PPI. The car was bought out of an estate and had not been driven much. The prior owner bought it, drove it 200 miles, and passed away. So, his family was selling the car, but had not driven it much over the last year. Also, I am told the first owner went to jail for fraud and the car was impounded for 4 years in its early life. The problem---intermittent CEL and Emissions warning. The first day after I bought it, I drove about 30 mi ..read more

I'm in the process of purchasing a 2019 Vantage with 25k miles and I had a PPI performed Thursday afternoon and received the written report a little while ago. While it is generally a good report, there are a few issues for which I'm waiting to get clarification. They are supposed to call me to discuss the report this afternoon. I've C&P'ed a few parts of the report below that show the issues that they identified. The summary is in black and the specific issues identified in the detail section are in red. I'm not concerned with normal wear-and-tear items or the scratches and rock chips. Af ..read more

Great quote from Miami receiver Tyreek Hill if he gets 2,000 receiving yards this season: “I told myself, if I’m able to do it, I’m going to buy my dream car. It’s an Aston Martin V12. Very expensive car.” I'm not a Dolphins fan, but Tyreek has good taste! https://www.yahoo.com/news/dolphins-...215600412.html ..read more

Looking to pick up an extra set of exhaust manifolds for my Virage to deal with the primary catalysts and note that the part numbers for the DB9/DBS/Virage/Rapide version differ from the DB9.2/Vanquish version. Does anyone happen to know if they are effectively interchangeable?They appear identical, but there may be something that I'm missing ..read more

I was just quoted $411 delivered for a "cut to VIN" Emergency Key at the dealer. Is this the average price? Anyone know of an alternative option? I asked a company in the UK (about half that price), but they can only cut those keys for owners in the UK ..read more

Hello, I have lately experienced for the first time, the A/C fuse in the engine bay blowing. A simple swap that I performed yesterday fixed the problem, until this afternoon when I started the car and once again it had blown. Is there a common problem that is known to cause this? 07 V8 Vantage coupe. This is new, and has never had any issue like it before. No engine work has been recently performed. I suspect the compressor wiring perhaps is shorting intermittently? Any thoughts? All help is welcome before I take this to the dealer after a new mortgage...I see that the wiring for the fuse is ..read more

The Instagram account Sportscar365 shared some pictures yesterday from IMSA's test session at Daytona. The new Vantage GT3 car is testing, and gives a good peek at what the revised production Vantage may look like. I like it. Curious what you lot think.

PLEASE HELP!! I am having intermittent issues with my 2019 Aston Martin Vantage. Whilst driving and all of a sudden, randomly, the power steering fault comes on, all types of error lights come on, eDiff Unavailable comes on and parking brake malfunction comes on. Car loses power and I’m unable to drive it. I thought it’s because of the battery so I had my brother change that but this morning it happened again on my way to work, on the motorway and I almost had a major accident. I don’t want to take it to Aston for endless inspections and £1,000,000 bill so I was wondering if anyone has any ..read more

Warm greetings to all in Aston Martin land from chilly Wisconsin. Just dropping a quick note to make introduction and get some opinions on a potential modification. My first Aston Martin ownership experience. And so far, it's outstanding! The car was delivered just last week after purchasing from an auction. Lots of the normal concerns over purchasing an auction vehicle remotely, but I had a cursory inspection carried out and it seemed to check out on all of the vital aspects. ​​​​​​ no real surprises upon delivery except that sticky fingered thieves as is often the case went through and stole ..read more
