The Aston Martin V8 Vantage had an original starting price of around $150,000. Today, a 2019 V8 Vantage with relatively low mileage can be found for less than $100,000, and some with a lot of mileage can be found for as low as $75,000. Arguably a supercar for less than $100,000.
First, the V8 Vantage is built with an AMG-sourced twin-turbo 4.0L V8. The V8 produces a whopping 503HP, which allows for a 3.4-second 0-60. The car is fast, really fast. It has a top speed of just over 195 mph, and the exhaust note at 6000 rpm is mesmerizing. The British did not hold back when it came to expressing the throaty burbles and roar of the V8.
A debatable flaw of the car is its weight of around 3700 lbs. Although the weight slightly hinders performance, it is fully justified when it comes to the incredible style and road presence the car has. Its factory-wide body and curvy lines make the car a true piece of art. The car is a pinnacle of luxury and performance.
The car may have an incredible road presence and a beautiful exterior; however, the interior has a beauty of its own. The British leather interiors with extravagant attention to detail on the buttons, switches, and keys. The center console is set up well, easy to use, and incredibly beginner-friendly. A pretty unfortunate flaw, though, is the entertainment hardware and the infotainment screen. The screen is very pixelated and doesn’t contain some features that cars at the time had, such as Apple CarPlay.
The cars though don’t just come in a couple colors and combinations. Aston Martin offers up to 61 different colors for the vantage, and a variety of different trims. There is a wide range of V8 Vantages on the used market, all different and unique in their own way. When searching for the cars, it is not difficult to find a vantage in a color combination you desire. Of the 61 colors, Aston Martin’s choice in colors is unreal. They offer their flagship Aston Martin racing green and the traditional Spirit Silver from the old James Bond era.
Overall, the used market for the V8 Vantage, specifically the 2019, is wide and more than reasonably priced for what you get. The car is stunning, powerful, and comfortable. It is a practical car as well, its low, not too low, but low enough to look great. The car has a wide base, great for grip. It is an easy car to operate and has a variety of versions and options that people can find. The V8 Vantage is the best car for the money you pay.
