Seriously? :) If you consider buying an old car you really want to just drive it and give it to the dealer for the repairs? By the way... you really think the authorised service will do better job than a good mechanic and it's trustworthy? :D It looks like you want to have a fancy sports car you'll not put your hand on - I think will be better for you to buy something much younger to avoid an old car issues - and if you want to service it in the authorised service - means you should have a wallet to cover the higher price and not complain. Simply don't buy a luxury brand if you're not rich. On the other hand... You don't need to be rich to own an old, fancy car, if you're into the cars. Fixing stuff by yourself and looking for a spare parts is not only a part of a deal, but also fun! Furthermore, if you don't know good mechanic to handle stuff you're not able to handle - that just speaks for itself. Sad to listen to such posh person's arguments. You cannot be the true car guy - just a gadget boy.

I'm thinking about making a really stupid purchase and getting a stupid high mileage one of these for a second car. I have a pretty low mileage CLA 45 AMG for a daily, but have been wanting to grab a beater. There's 2 200k mile SLK 55 AMGs within 300 miles of me, ones real close, too. One of them is a 2 owner with no accidents, and the other one is a one owner car😂 I figure if they're reliable enough that someone would buy and maintain it for 200,000 miles, it's good enough for a fun beater. They have it listed at almost 8,000, but no one's gonna bite at that, I don't think. Hoping it'll sit for a couple more weeks and then I'll offer the Kelly blue book value which is like 4 to 5 grand. The other ones listed at like 9k and maybe worth 6k max, and thats ones definitely a longer trek but still on my radar.

Dude, thats amazing! I plan to buy a Tonerre Grey Alpine with brown interior and do exactly the same, except I wanna keep the awesome throwback diamond pattern in the sides. And since I want to put on black wheels and logos on the outside, I might also paint the seat inserts black... Anyway, thanks for showing me how cool this will look. And for answering the questions in the comments!

Most cars will last around 10 years so if you buy new, even with a 4 year loan you should then get around 6 years without payments. You can usually sell it for something even after 10 years. The PCP deals seem to be dooming you to big payments every month for the rest of your life.

Appreciate this guy's perspective but he's sort of splitting hairs and making things sound like major differences or drawbacks... but compared to what?? The comments about the clutch are exaggerated and perplexing. The clutch isn't particularly odd or challenging, certainly not to trigger such a visceral reaction. Also odd/incongruent that the video shows mostly footage of 430 hp V8V... which performed about the same as a Carrera of the same era... while saying the Vantage is substantially underpowered. It did 0-60 in 4.8 seconds.... what would be considered sufficiently powered? 4.4? Just begs the question: Underpowered compared to what? Even taking his review on its own terms, the conclusion in the title (don't buy one) doesn't seem to logically follow..... he acknowledges a lot of valid reasons why people love the car, agrees they are really well built, attractive, reasonably obtainable price point... sure they have expensive repairs but no more so than any exotic..... so I conclude you should not buy one.

you’ve sorted nothing out with your opening sentence. Yes, I do look at cars that I do and have owned. Because I have a very valued point of view and really understand what it is to not only drive them but live with them on a daily basis. So I’m afraid it sounds like you are just complaining about the fact that people may not agree with your point of view. Bottom line is the cost price of cars like this is not purchase once depreciated, it’s maintenance. If you’re worried about a few grand a year stick to a modern new normal car. Don’t buy an AM if u can’t afford it over time it’s exotic of course you need money to own it. But bottom line is, if you have a car with this much horsepower you are going to be buying very very expensive tyres. Probably over £500 each tire. If you replace one you’ll replace at least two. I’ve driven the v12s with its quirky auto gearshift - which many malign mainly as they don’t know how to drive it. Maybe v8s different. Clutch of manuals may be an issue welcome to non daily standard cars m8. Some million pound super cars are nowadays are dogs to drive? The Ford mustang is a classic and priced accordingly - again your point is moot. Got bored he’s missed entire point of this car. 1000 v12s made world wide. Dislike is based on what you say - I dont own one but have researched and driven them. I just don’t think your points are that valid in regards to the fun and experience the car provides vs any modern car and its desirability going forward. Old rare things often accumulate value irrelevant of how good or bad they are.

I've owned over 30 sports cars over the years and have a V8 Vantage 4.3 in the "stable". Love it. Comfortable, excellent steering feel, fun and usable. In 3 years, I've had no issues beyond wear items and routine maintenance. Gets just enough attention, but nicely under the radar. Kinda lol at "difficult to drive". Couldn't be easier. Clutch really isn't that heavy. Double flywheel? I think you mean twin plate clutch with a lightweight flywheel. I've pushed this car into corners very fast. Also own a featherlight Lotus. The Aston handles very admirably for something as comfortable and usable as it. The steering isnt't "GT" steering, it's just of the era. All cars in that era aren't fast and effortless like modern cars. Which I actually prefer. Modern Porsches have no feel. I also average 19MPG.
