The most professional//intelligent automotive channel on RUclips. Have a nice day all. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA (HA - soon to be the owner of the last of the type VANTAGE V12 S).
If you are a private seller, getting a pre purchase inspection prior to advertising might be a good selling point. Also with the initial cat problem what would you have recommended? Full engine strip and inspection?
Very informative video i feel sorry for the poor owner getting messed about and although now its a hefty bill to fix at least he will be safe in the knowledge his car is perfect. I also have to say my dream Aston is a black classic vanquish s . Love the information from this channel.
Hi, informative and interesting , just need to up tempo the presentation. Should I buy a DB9 as an investment? You have the knowledge, just increase your confidence in presentation and your channel will fly.
Thank you for this video a million times !! You just saved my bank account on a particular Vanquish S I was looking at....ZERO invoices since day One in 2005. They were lost in moving to another house....Yes, of course....And none of the 3 Aston Martin dealers that supposedly did work on this car answered my request to send me what they have on file regarding the maintenance they did on the car in the past. I am in America...Is it the same with AM dealers in UK ?? I am considering publishing here the VIN of the car in question....What do you folks suggest?
Great advice all round, thank you. I am in the market for a V8 Vantage and would appreciate some advice on what to look for other than the usual clutch replacement, corrosion round door handles and door bottoms and the potential for leaking timing chain housing.
Hi mate, great video again. When I was looking for my Aston in Australia. All the UK imports had severe corrosion under body. I ended up with an Aussie delivered for a little more. Is UK salting roads? or is it acid rain? Do you see this is issue over there? Aussie cars dont seem to suffer it cheers again.
Great and very informative videos. Considering getting a V8 Vantage S from 2011 with 70.000 miles. All services done at AM garages in Germany and latest in Denmark where the car is now situated like I am. Any kind of check list you can advise at first look before going on to a prepurchase inspection?
so is it broad ineptitude, or what? If i could find a great shop in the USA i would use them. I have suffered consistent failure to properly service my Aston. In fact it is why the car was traded by the first owner. Simple repairs done wrong. We don't have a huge problem just having to redo all work from the dealer.
I've tried to sign up for the forum and I never get the activation email. I've also tried emailing to the contact email address on our website with no response. I'd really like to get to know this platform and ask questions before buying over here in the USA, but seem to be locked out at the moment.
From my perspective it’s like any exotic car ownership - if you cannot afford to maintain it and repair it - then simply put do not buy it and CAVEAT EMPTOR..! When you spend £50,000+ on a car like these do not expect them to be reliable and so many ‘lemons’ in the market.
10:37 "rodents in the ECU's" I had to watch that 3 times. What's next? Elvis in the boot? Our cousins in America are so quick to criticise our cars. Evidence is mounting that they know nothing about engineering.

Top man. Wise words and a nice reminder for any expensive car purchase.

Excellent video, a real eye-opener that has made me really focus on the PPI process. Thank you.

First service at BR next week of my V8S. Looking forward to finding out whether I was stitched up 4 years ago. Exciting!
I hope the answer is you were not?

Congrats on reaching 1K subscribers from an Aston fan in Minnesota!

i thoroughly enjoy your videos. Thank you very much to share your expertise with us.
Question: would you opt for a DB9 GT over a 2012 DBS (automatic)?
Very very informative. Thank you

I’m finally in a position to buy a used Aston but after watching this I’m hesitant, especially here in the US
Why not try a Lexus lc500? Relatively cheap, good warranty, and nearly the same driving experience!

Can you get a Aston technician to do pre buying check
Dbs 2009 manual or vanquish 2004....which one to have?
50k for engine/ gearbox repair? Gives name Vanquish new meaning
Good stuff.
