Ow much - ? !

[simongt]

Stopped by an Aston Martin dealer last night. Whilst munching our crisps, noticed a couple of models in the window ( no idea which particular ones ). One was priced at £121,000 and the other simply had P.O.A. on the info board.
Hmm.

There is a car dealer near me called Acklam Car Garage where prices start at £24k and go up to £279k, considering the average house value is circa £150k I wonder how on earth they have stayed in business!!

I'll have a check of Hexham Horseless Carriages and check their stock

Just up the road from me is a dealer that sells Aston Martins, Bentleys and Lamborghinis. They tend not to be so vulgar as to put the prices on the screens.

A few years back they had a Spyker C8 in, presumably as a trade-in. Quirky thing, not my cup of tea but nice to see one.

Problem with Astons is they raid Fords reject bin for various switch gear. Ive driven a Vantage, blooming shocking quality.

Aston's deprecate like a lead balloon 🎈

The people that can afford to buy and run Astons and Bentleys etc, probably don't care about depreciation.
Our former MD had a Bentley cost over £200k over 10 years ago, when he traded it in for his Continental, we calculated it to be nearly £2000 a WEEK depreciation.
Its all on the company books of course in many cases, the company bears the cost.

Home of the cheapest house in the UK. Ha ha. To be fair prices range from £50k to north of £400k depending upon the estate.

Apparently attributed to the Moulton Spaceframe model; 'If you need to ask the price, you can't afford it.'

Stopped by an Aston Martin dealer last night.

And at this particular dealer, with petrol in the area generally around the £1.65 - £1.70 mark, theirs was £1.85. Obviously a lot of affluent folk in the area - ! And as the location can at best be described as a large village.
Nuff said - !

Aston Martins have always been expensive haven't they? Its an aspirational product......however a bog standard family Skoda where you will get £1 change from £70,000, I would say a £121,000 for an Aston Martin seems cheap in comparison!

Remember driving a DB7 and thinking the same. Crappy plastic Ford locking barrel on the outside and a Granada ignition key (equipped with early 90's torch), Granada window switches etc.

It was some years ago so things may have changed.

Yeahbut tell someone you’ve got a Skoda and it’s like saying you’ve got a chair, but tell someone you’ve got an Aston……

EV's aren't cheap

Starting price for that model is £45k so the one shown must be specced heavily. It's far from a bog standard car.
