Can You REALLY Buy A Good Aston Martin For £25,000? (My Friend Did!)

A couple of months I traded in my very loved Honda S2000 to a 2007 V8 Vantage manual with less than 40k. Its Ghillies green exterior on Bitter Chocolate interior was what finally made me byte the bullet. It never fails to make me feel like a child, everytime I enter it and turn it on. Damn, just looking at it! Thanks James for your input when I was still considering other options! No regrets :)

The only thing I wish this came with and I agree is a nonessential gimmick is to have a ECU crystal key. Anyone has done a conversion from the early Volvo Fobs?

[@RoderickVoordouw]

Really enjoyed watching you enjoy the car!

[@mattpollard86]

I bought one second hand - best car I've ever owned. It's handbuilt so little stuff sometimes needs a word with itself (various monitors go mad, then it's fine 20 mins later); but nothing big ever went wrong. You never get a bad reaction on the road. Every time you look at it you smile, and the noise... cannot recommend highly enough.

Two words, and I haven’t even finished watching it yet, ‘pure class’. My dream was always to have a sweeping gravel driveway to a modest Georgian country house and an Aston Martin. And this is the one. Right exterior, colour, tasteful interior and a V8, ‘just enough’, what’s not to like. Absolute bargain!👍. Superb YT channel Mr Emm. I wish you every success. Well deserved.👍

I loved mine for 4 years, upgraded to the 12s but the 4.3 V8 is awesome and with the factory aston after market sports exhaust was a treat as well. You may have to rev them a little to get the best out of them but listen to that sound why would you not want to.

Really happy you reviewed this Jay. I’m Currently driving an M2 but on my list of future cars are this (ideally a 2nd gen/430bhp) as well as a Cayman GTS and e92 M3. The badge, looks and sounds of the Vantage can’t be beaten for the price IMO. Sure you don’t have the tactility of the Cayman (981) but this one ticks more boxes 👍🏾

[@Vincentdeoliveira]

I've watched and read that the only obstacle of owning an aged Aston Martin is that repairs and replacement parts become expensive but I always believe that if you're a driver who takes care and maintain any car you shouldn't really run into problems.

[@johnnysmith863]

I was the second owner of a 2007 V8 Vantage that I bought in 2014, black/black with anthracite wheels & grille. Sadly I had to sell it after 2 years but it was a great car. I didn't lose much money on it, though servicing and consumables are obviously pretty pricey! The general public seem to love Astons and I never had anything but positive remarks. I'd have another but would have to be able to keep my current 996 too - the Vantage feels like a much bigger/chunkier car.

Great video. I have owned my Vantage over 7 years now and is exactly the same one looks wise as the one in your video. The clutch thing is a myth I haven’t changed mine to the double plate nor will I do unless it starts to go wrong. I like the feel of the heavier pedal and the clutch change on the single plate. I service mine annually and regularly drive it and the only thing I could comment about on the earlier models is it will throw up some strange faults on the dashboard from time to time. Other than that I have changed the gas struts on the doors and boot lid but that’s all

[@phil955i]

Still the best looking Aston ever imo. Shame about the naff private plate though

[@64Alvis]

I'd make the Aston even cheaper by selling that number plate. An important factor with affordable dream cars is what specialists are reasonably convenient to where you live because he's right, you need to avoid main dealers.

That number plate actually cheapens the whole car. It'd increase the value removing that vulgar registration plate.

I'd always wanted to scratch an M3 itch though and replaced the RS4 with an E92. I stretched the budget as far as I could and bought a very highly specced July 2013 car, must've been one of the last ones made. Now, just over a year later, I say again - what a machine.

[@parkswithpj2168]

“The THEATRE of an Aston Martin...” LOVE this!

[@peoplehavetherights]

JM, it's interesting that the 997 was the car I cross-shopped before buying the 4.3 V8 Vantage! Yes, the Porsche is immediately easier to drive, lighter steering, braking, and clutching, easier to shift as well. It's also a lot harsher over broken pavement and due to stern damping, quite a bit louder. It was also roughly ten grand less expensive in US dollars. I bought the Aston for emotional reasons - the comparative rarity, the sound, the looks, the GT demeanor it has, the much larger boot/trunk so one can actually go travel with her. Yes, she does drink the fuel, and yes, the maintenance costs can run even more than a Porsche, but I had already had two older air cooled 911s and decided that the Aston had to join my Jaguar XJ8 for I had wanted to buy British for a very long time. Both cars appear to be reliable so I can forgive them if they require maintenance and repair. The thing that loom over the 997.1 is of course the infamous IMS bearing, which is about a $3500 repair requiring dropping the engine. I do love Porsche "911s," don't get me wrong, but I've always had a hankering for an Aston-Martin and I"m not sorry for the purchase at all.
