Aston Martin "Experience" – is it worth the money?

Reed — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 02:12:36 +0000

There are plenty of websites where you can book a drive in an Aston Martin, or Ferrari etc, at places like Silverstone. Has anyone been on one of these experiences – and are they worth the £200 or £300 they’re charging?

You should try it…. I found it exhilarating, to say the least, and a ‘not to be forgotten’ experience!

Help with my slideshow on Aston Martin?

Reed — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 02:12:34 +0000

In college, I am due to give a brief presentation on a chosen subject to my group sometime next week so out of the blue I chose Aston Martin as my subject. So far I’ve mentioned a little bit about their history and a few of their cars, but I still could do with a few extra slides and am a bit unsure of what else I can add to it. Any ideas?

What is the release date for the 2008 Aston Martin DBS and Aston Martin’s Vanquish S?

Reed — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 02:12:26 +0000

I would like the year and I would also like to know if it is sold in the Ohio or any of the other states. Details about the cars would be helpful if it is possible. Thank you very much!

Have you been stuck in a cupboard for the last year my friend? 2008 has gone. Check out Yahoo! Autos, and select your car under the used cars, make sure that you set the distance to nationwide. That’s a very nice, and expensive car(s). If your going to buy either, hats off to you. I personally have been working towards getting a decent down payment for a Ferrari, but I’m getting out of topic. Hope it helps. Good luck!

Exotic cars around $30k?

Reed — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 04:52:56 +0000

I am looking around for a new car and was hoping for some suggestions on cars that I may be overlooking. The amount I am wanting to spend varies on the car but I have an upper limit of $40k but would like to stay between the $30k’s or $35’s. I don’t want a car to "modify" or "restore". I already have a car that fits that need. This has to be an exotic or simi-exotic car not seen every day and is suited for a daily driver (less than 40 miles a day). Some of the cars I have thought about are:

99-01 Porsche 911 non-turbo
96-98 Porsche 911 non-turbo
Lotus Elise
Toyota Supra
Acura NSX
Lexus SC430
1998 Aston Martin DB7
1994-1998 Dodge Viper

Any other suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks

BMW M3 2004

*
Had a ‘02 330ci before upgrading to the ‘04 M3. The 330ci was awesome but the M3 is hands down the best car for your money. If you are looking for an ultra high performance luxury car, look no further. There is no other car on the market that can compare when it comes to the price/performance ratio – factor in BMW reputation, quality, and service and you’ve got yourself the ultimate driving machine.(copied from Scott from Portland, OR)

The M3 is truly a gem. For $30k you can pick up a used M3 that outperforms sports cars costing more than twice as much. No other car in the history of sports cars has received as much praise than the M3, and for good reason. The M3 gives you the best of everything in the sports car category. No other sports car will give you the performance, quality, safety and understated styling that the M3 can.
(copied from James)

What do you think of the Lotus Elise?

Reed — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 04:20:50 +0000

ill use it for joyrides, and if you can give me another car in this price range (below 65k) that would get "wows" and looks from passerbyers, i would appreciate it.
what about the exige?

I recommend the Lotus Elise if that’s the type of car you like. If you haven’t ever driven one I definitely recommend it. Not really fast but weighing in at 1980lbs it doesn’t really need a big engine. the underneath of the car is by far the coolest I have ever seen. it s completely flat with no drag. It looks like they laid aluminum panels down and said we need everything else built above it. The seats kinda suck because of how uncomfortable they are but with it you are buying a road race car not a luxury car. As far as handling its no wonder why its one of the best handling cars in the world. Size is cool as well theres not too many cars that are towered over by a Ford Escort ZX2 but I have to say the Lotus is small very small. Now if you are a bigger person in terms of height or width lol this car might not be for you as I am 6′ 1" and I struggled to get in and out of the car. You fit fine when your in but only with the top off. This is definitely a car you put on not get in.

On a scale of 1-10
I give it an overall of 9.0

I highly recommend the Lotus Elise you will get lots and lots of looks and have a blast while driving it

Another car to look at is a used 2000-2004 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Volante will be buying a car with 2-20k miles

Incredble sounding fast fun and looks like you have never seen before deffinately another 9.0 out of 10
only down fall to the Aston is the intrior too basic for the car you are buying interior wise is a 7 out of 10

The Exige is awesome the best handling car in the world and alot faster then the elise

9.5 out of 10

Reed — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 02:19:29 +0000

If you have been looking for a vintage 1976 ASTON MARTIN V8 SALOON you found one, but unfortunately this one has been sold.

To avoid missing out on a great find like this in the future contact me and I will add you to my priority list and notify you when I get one of these classics back in stock.

The best deals on these classics are usually sold before they get listed on the website. They are usually sold to friends and clients on my priority list.

This Aston is Supercharged and very fast and not recommended for the faint of heart.

This is the Steel Wings development car that holds the Lime Rock track record for mid-70s Aston V8s. Powered by a supercharged, 5.3 liter V8, it features Steel Wings’ fully adjustable suspension, Wilwood front disc brakes, custom 17-inch wheels, Steel Wings 5-speed gearbox and more.

The Slate Blue metallic paint is complimented by the all-new Canyon leather with blue piping interior. Even the custom fabricated roll bar is leather covered. This car is road-ready and waiting for the driver who will appreciate its tremendous performance and muscular good looks.
