Who else is having trouble getting any work done today because of all the KZbinrs constantly dropping new geneva content videos? 😂

[@yasir9267]

sucksqueezebangblow so true

[@gepast]

me lmao

[@SuperHoops]

sucksqueezebangblow this isn’t Geneva though.

[@error404blah]

AaronLTA I know, but so what, that comment is still valid here.

[@th4f]

Yes, but thankfully I am in my vacations!!

[@denisspratt926]

Hope you get one. The Ferrari 360 and AM Vantage will be the perfect 2 car garage. I want one as well but at the moment its to expensive. About 200 000 euro in Italy for the spec i want. But maybe next year. Would love to have a Zaffre Blue or Divine Red with the Copper Tan interior and gloss black details on the diffusor and other exterior bits. Watt on a soundsystem actually doesn't say anything about how good a soundsystem is. It all depends on impedance, sensitivity on the speakers, da converters, the speaker placement and various of other bits. Keep the good videos coming.

[@JimSmith-vw5mp]

Someone’s going to get burnt buying a new Aston Martin. How much is that going to depreciate in 10 months?? Why buy one just because you’ve been smooshed by the manufacturer. Had an Aston for a couple of years, absolute pile of overpriced junk. Don’t waste your money, the clever guys are buying GT 3’s. £147000.00, it’ll be sub £110000 by May 2019.

[@denisspratt926]

Jim Smith. Not everyone cares about the depriation. I´d rather have a car i like that depritiates a bit then a car i don't like that doesn't. And a 911 Gt3 i dont like the looks. If i could get a Touring Pack then i could consider it. But i can't since i don't have money for it right now.

[@zoltankovacs9252]

In Sam's point of view who wants to buy the car with financing depreciation is a pretty big deal.

[@denisspratt926]

Well he has financed cars before. And it seems that he has a pretty good idea of how to do it. So i trust he'll be fine.

[@F1ll1nTh3Blanks]

Denis Spratt Bang & Olufsen don't mess around.

[@SWatchik]

The new vantage looks fantastic. Very spec dependent though, but I'm sure you'll make a good choice - please keep the lightweight wheels!!! They're so much better and not much more expensive than decent aftermarket options

[@karlxii9000]

SevenW25 V Top three best looking sport cars 1. Vantage 2. 911 3. Merc amg gt

[@SWatchik]

why not 1. Vantage 2.Alpine A110 3. Lotus Exige

[@randomguyfrominterwebster]

New vantage has headlights of mazda and taillights of few years old volvo

[@gregmortimer]

John: "Looks like my grandad specced it" - Yes, exactly!

[@innerhammer]

As long as your 360 stays, it would be great.

[@markmcmahon100]

the most realistic specking video ever hahaha love it "what else is expensive"

[@stewartarmstrong7430]

I can not believe you can't get British racing green as an option. That's crazy. It's Aston Martin.

[@DeanOnRS]

They know it'll be in high demand, so now they'll make extra $$$ via their custom paint scheme.

[@alex-vu3gv]

What kind of British super/luxury car maker doesnt offer a proper green??!!!

[@felipemanata3502]

In this episode Sam show us how to do even worse financial decisions

[@scottsherman7069]

I would personally rather have a lower tier car but with exceptional spec rather than a higher tier car with a really low spec, but each to their own

[@ps-qj5wl]

Scott Sherman that’s what u say till u drive both. Then U won’t care about the little things

[@jeron6108]

Couldn't disagree more. I'd rather have a low spec RS4 than a high spec S4.

[@scottsherman7069]

Prabh Sandhu Probably, but I'm not in that position so will probably hold this thought until I can actually afford to change it (if that makes sense)

[@scottsherman7069]

Jeron Holy Why though? In the real world they aren't going to be that much different

[@jeron6108]

Ok, another example. High spec Cayman S vs a GT4. The GT4 is a completely different car. If you're focusing on performance and not extended leather then you're always going to want the best drive for your money.

[@MrDavidfball]

flugplatz = flying place in the 60's & 70's the f1 cars used to take off there at the nurburgring

[@golders99]

David Ball is that where the Nissan GTR racing car took off a year ago?

[@MrDavidfball]

correct thats where Jan Mardenborough and the nissan went up then over the catchfence now its flattened out and no more flug at that platz

[@Speednote10]

Flugplatz means airfield/airport.

[@MrDavidfball]

translated from german into english it means flying place so yes its also another term for an airport airfield after all those are flying places

[@faisalleeds]

Is this for the V8? Essentially a posh AMG GT S. Stick to the project F-Type idea Sam, I think you will get more out of it

[@rm-nd7cq]

faisalleeds gts is way better than this

[@azaboy2]

Don't go broke trying to look rich

[@venom5809]

He's rich. He's British royalty and went to a $40,000 a year college, he's rich.

[@RatherBeCancelledThanHandled]

Where did you learn about these stats ? I'd be interested in reading.

[@MitchWebb94]

So his parent's are rich? Doesn't mean they're paying for his car though, he's still out there doing his thing to make enough for it

[@simonrichsimonrich]

Sam is talking about financing, so he's not buying the car outright for cash, which means he can't afford it. I really agree with the comment "don't go broke trying to look rich". Try watching some of Dave Ramsey's KZbin videos on money. What he says about financing is "When you say you can afford the car, what you actually mean is you can just about afford to make the repayments right now". In other words, if your situation changes at all, you'll be in trouble. If you're having to cut really basic options off the car, then that really says you can't afford it. But each to their own at the end of the day. Good luck!

[@andrewgurney6019]

He will be getting the AM for free, don't believe all the nonsense about finance and keeping in budget!

[@batsam63]

great video Sam, great to see this process and see all the prices. great access!

[@AntonyD]

Definitely go for it if the finance company gives the green light!

[@leobrown9011]

Im so happy for you , I love the car and recently Ive seen your love for the brand grow and grow

[@howster34]

This is my favourite video of yours so far Sam it’s brilliant! Love speccing a car!

[@trident8480]

Love the yellow looks amazing hope you go through with it!

[@fosteralan4]

Cool spec hope you get it

[@Victor-dz6ty]

Great spec Sam!!

[@munraajmangat3534]

Love how far the Aston Martin brand has come so fully support getting the new vantage would be so sick

[@arnabmandal7897]

Get the green, especially if you don't wanna wrap it.. Yellow might not be a great option for a daily.. Also not sure (might be wrong) yellow is a historic Aston color, it's more of a Ferrari/ Lambo color.. Aston deserves a green or a blue (my two cents :D)..

[@vitorzamith]

Great colour Sam! And its so good to se that see that you dont have any problem speaking about money!

[@iconicpao]

great banter

[@JayTee124]

Love The Tang! My first fully spec’d showroom car was the Abarth 124 Spider, all the options and now loving it. The Aston will be awesome!

[@OKF_Max]

Yes do it. No other youtube has one I believe. And the sound is amazing

[@hagreegardenmachinery3738]

Absolutely stunning colour great choice 👍

[@markkingsbury8718]

So want ever happened to the Vantage ambition - it’s on my shopping list when my 718 GTS lease finishes next year so helpful to understand your thoughts?

[@callumbennett2013]

I hope to one day be speccing out my own Vantage, love Aston Martin and love that car! Great video Sam!

[@willhudson20]

You nailed the spec Sam!

[@kevindewes20]

Love the yellow! A theme appearing with your colour choices? Great little spot in Bristol as well, it's like a utopia with all the garages around there. Aston, Porsche, Bentley etc. 10 minute drive from my house.

[@hilmydjunaedi2617]

Just go for it Sam, and tbh that yellow suits the new vantage very well... Can't wait for the collection day and journeys with it😍

[@ZlatanPu]

Was this video one of the terms from AM with lending you the cars in South Africa?

[@aydendean996]

I think you'd be better off ditching the audio and putting the lighter weight wheels back on at a compromise of 2k. Lighter wheels will reduce the unsprung mass which in turn improves the handling, however significant that may be.. Just thinking of how much you'd be driving the car 'spiritedly' on the many road trips you do, this could be a key factor to the enjoyment of such a vehicle. keep up the amazing work!!

[@Speednote10]

I doubt a novice driver could tell the difference between the wheels when driving on the road. If it's a track car and you're constantly going 10/10 then maybe it would be something to think about, but from the way he seems to be using his cars I would pick the audio system over the wheels every time.

[@Speednote10]

Also, upgrading the wheels at a later date is much easier than upgrading the audio system.

[@jamestravill9640]

That Stirling green/grey colour looked incredible!

[@jakob12373]

Hey @seenthroughglass which way of financing do you use?

[@julianwilson2387]

Great colour!

[@autoismtv9820]

This is just a brilliant show room and they have lovely people that work there

[@CharlieVane21]

Great choice. I liked the blue though. Great that you showed this, I really enjoyed it.

[@4SmokingTailpipes]

I've giggled my whole way through this.. You make this really enjoyable to watch where it would otherwise be a little dull! Your choices are so 'Sam' too.. Very individual and that's endearing to see..

[@fuelledfunny]

Sam, it was a pleasant surprise to see you yesterday - top notch content, I figured you were busy so stopped at 'hero' :-) Hope Magnitude can work some magic, the journey to new Vantage would make for very interesting viewing. See you at Brizzle again soon hopefully.

[@richboycoleman]

Yes Sam!! Now were talking!! Top work!!

[@soody69]

Yellow all the way!

[@bluecannon5278]

Hope you're able to get one. It's an awesome car and the yellow on black would look great.

[@munraajmangat3534]

Yellow yellow yellow is amazing

[@ryanclarke3723]

I think once you have to start holding back on spec it becomes clear you can’t actually afford it. Quibbling over £100 a month is the difference between comfortably being able to afford something and pushing it to the limit

[@nicholaslee633]

koston852 most people finance, even if u can afford a million pound car, it’s better to finance it and invest the remainder for a higher return. It’s silly to dump so much money for a car

[@venom5809]

If you think all of Sam's money comes from KZbin you are very naive. Dude went to Harrow, look up the tuition there, that should tell you all you need to know.

[@georgewest9600]

absolute nonse, can you not afford your home if you cant buy it outright as well ?

[@georgewest9600]

regardless of the movement in price, your logic of you can only afford it if you can buy it out right is rubbish. My car new is roughly £40k, can i afford to spend 40k on a car in cash ? no i cant however i put a decent deposit down and can easily afford the monthly payments to a point of not even noticing them. However by your logic i still cant afford the car ?

[@Horizon301.]

George West I agree, a lot of young people look down on financing or leasing but it’s actually a more smarter move then buying a depreciating asset. That money can be used to invest in property or whatever. And yeah they will happily get a phone contract which is basically financing or get a mortgage but when it comes to a car you are classed as poor for doing it. Silly mentality in my opinion but least the few of us understand how to make money and not lose most of it.

[@ryanjones5594]

Video translation: he doesn't like his porsche

[@andrewgurney6019]

No, translates to sponsored by Aston Martin

[@walkergp2130]

john m agree it’s nothing compared to the 911 or the 918

[@humphreybradley3060]

Ultramarine Black looks absolutely superb Sam!!!!

[@nameussparticus]

Refreshing to see someone talk so openly about speccing such a high end car and the prices involved

[@jara4396]

Yes Sam, buy it

[@davidjarvis7110]

Love the spec, Aston Martin is my dream car

[@Tracertme]

what a stirling colour with a deeper tan alcantara interior

[@juniorgeeroms8018]

Great choice

[@stephenoverstreet9898]

What’s wrong with the Cayman again? It’s the perfect daily. Are you planning on winter dailying the Aston? The 360?

[@jfdrummond]

Spec the most resaleable colour and wrap it bright yellow or blue?

[@jcbesler]

I like the spec. And I think the premium sound system is a must.

[@jamesd8421]

Did you select the option to have an Engine?, because they don’t come standard in Aston’s these days

[@EthanFromLondon]

Love the yellow !!

[@MrRacs1]

Love the yellow!

[@JAXm135i]

Black alloys on the yellow go super well. Could u not get the silver alloys wrapped in a black?

[@Speednote10]

You don't wrap wheels, you either paint or powdercoat them.

[@jackleight9152]

I love the colour you have chosen, at the end of the day, it's your car, make it yours.... Loving the content Sam!!

[@Sarll458]

Yellow tang is the best colour for the vantage in my opinion! Definitely get it!

[@cnmperformance8414]

Really cool!🏎🔥🔥

[@henrikjohannessen3017]

0:11 That building with the four pipes is the building Pink floyd used for the cover on the album Animals.

[@santiagobrandaorodrigues1172]

Battersea Power Station ;)

[@henrikjohannessen3017]

If only the flying pig was still there...

[@Viper4502]

Love the yellow

[@kyetyson2117]

love it!!!!

[@Swixperience]

YES

[@harrylalli]

Not sure if you've spec'd the red calipers that were shown in the pics but I would probably go with blue (or even green if available) assuming yellow is the body colour. Looks awesome!

[@imranpatel4612]

YESSSSS GET IT. Such a great car and you'd actually really suit it

[@danielnicoll8705]

Yes, yes and yes, get one asap. They are amazing 👍😍

[@jkclassy3643]

Sam I hope you can do the new Vantage. As always, such a great video man!

[@Ensitac]

British racing green!! Will be sad to see the porsche go though...

[@polarescape]

Yellow and black is always a sick combination.

[@nickdeede5011]

Buy it because it would be lovely to have the car for the fall.

[@AlexOliver555]

If you get a Vantage you need a new daily too. I like the yellow and I agree about wanting premium sound system over carbon.

[@josh5531]

Yellow actually looks so good, I prefer those perforated side gills compared to body coloured.

[@jasper0762]

Yes please!!!

[@draws5114]

Looks sick Sam, hope you get the Vantage! Missing a solid content car since the F Type left, still love your videos!

[@muhammedayaan3081]

Would be amazing to see u on the new vantage Sam. I'm a big fan boy of aston

[@paulkramer2893]

I think you should go for British racing green!!! But wat will it be, a manual or a automatic gearbox??

[@bradleydant9410]

I personally love the color

[@dennisignatius7043]

I love your spec on this one i agree with all the option and when u got crazy and fuck it spend it all on interior

[@MitchWebb94]

The new AM Vantage is beautiful! I'd so that no matter what the car, the wheels always change the car's look. Make sure you're absolutely happy with those. Given the sound is almost doubled in watts from the old vantage, I'd say that the standard sound system would be more than enough with 400W in!

[@warlords8839]

I think the vantage looks so much better with the black side vents!

[@mstSean]

As someone that is a huge fan of BRG I would love to see one in green. Especially like the dark green from gen 2 Elise's.

[@chriskay3886]

Loving the "yellow tang" exterior and the epic alcantara sports seats. Not 100% a fan of the final wheel choice but hey at the end of the day, ordering your first new car from factory, you want It to be your ideal spec. Best of luck Sam 😊

[@monkeyboyuk28]

Sam, think of the depreciation on the Aston, you will drop £40k in 18 months don’t do it

[@rare6499]

colin Monk pretty sure he would be leasing one anyhow

[@strawdemindset]

idk, the dealership would own the car and they already dont seem keen on selling a yellow car with not much carbon fiber after the lease ends.

[@harveyyork3735]

Lord Benjamin they won’t care about carbon fibre

[@Speednote10]

Josh Charlie The depreciation is calculated into your lease payment. It doesn't matter if you pay cash, finance or lease the car, you still can't get away from the depreciation. The only way that can happen is if the leasing company completely miscalculates the residual value.

[@jt_osie]

Loving the Skyfall poster @ 8:16 and no B&O!?

[@sanderdegroot6227]

Awesome!

[@GTBoy125]

YESS KZbin needs more Aston Martin content.... British racing green is a must, don’t understand why it isn’t an option on every Aston, Jaguar and land rover.

[@nicehtx9469]

Vantage would be awesome! Hope You will get it and the awesome times like those with Jaaaag F-type will come back :D

[@keithianlocke]

Should get it in DB11 green. Appletree?

[@robertl2856]

Go for it !

[@PuteraMariff]

yes buy it!

[@aamirkhokhar3289]

If you get it and don't Pick the premium audio come to cbs automotive Cambridge and get a amazing system put in

[@JOPOV]

How much are they knocking off list for you mate?

[@niteshb.2515]

It looks nice

[@i7rs]

Try 'Concours Blue' exterior colour!

[@petop8290]

Having a Aston Martin Vantage majority of buyers spec the Premium audio in the "old" version and its looked for by 2nd hand buyers as well.

[@astrious9161]

I think the new AM Vantage is a great choice, but I think you should definitely try squeeze in BRG and an espresso interior Sam.

[@allensaunders449]

The new vantage looks great
