    Timeless or whatever it’s called.
    Anyone have any experience with it?
    Looking at a car and the upcharge between 1 and 2 years is - shall we say - healthy, so I’m curious as to the value perception.
    Cars a ‘12.

    My assumption is that the thread is an acronym for Aston Martin Certified PreOwned.
    The made a few different models in '12.
    What are you looking at? Vantage, Vanquish, Virage, DBS, Rapide?

    If its a Vanquish TAKE IT!
    If its the last of the DB9 TAKE IT!
    Last of the OLD VANTAGE V8 OR 12 TAKE IT!
    If its a new Vantage or DB11 or Rapide…...run away......FAR AWAY...……

    Yeah, I'm curious too. Take the CPO or the car? Stay away from new cars?

    Anything made in 2012 minus the rapide is a great car except you better buy the extended warranty.
    the vantage v8 is bullet proof
    the db9 looks great but has its quirks
    the vanquish is a huge improvement over the original but service is in the thousands every single year.
    Good luck!

    Ok for full disclosure I’m on the fence about swapping my 996TT and some $ for a V12 Vantage.
    The 911 has cost me almost nothing since I owned it - a clutch at $2300 right after I added a tune was the only real expense. Everything else has been fluids and tires.

    I’ve heard that Aston ownership can be like a boat - you have two happy days...

    I’m wondering if the CPO package can offset some of the maintenance uncertainty for the first couple of years - by then I’ll know what I’m really going to be in for. Although after the last Audi, I’m wondering how bad can it be. Lovely car, but it spent as much time in the shop as it did in the driveway.

    You came clean.....
    The v12 Vantage is a beast!
    Its shoe horned into the body and I haven't heard of any issues under the hood like the other v12s with coil packs and all.
    Im not clear of what you mean cpo but an EXTENDED WARRANTY?
    Take ANYTHING ITS WORTH IT.....Not that there have been issues but....just in case.
    A VANQUISH IS YOUR MISTRESS
    A DB9 IS A ONE NIGHT FLING...….
    A RAPIDE IS A BAD DREAM AND...…
    A VANTAGE IS YOUR WIFE FOR THE LAST 30 PLUS YEARS...…..WONT LET YOU DOWN BUT WITH A LITTLE DRAMA
    LOVE

    Curious about this comment. I really like the looks of the new DB11/DBS (2019). Probably wouldn't buy a new one but maybe in a few years after the depreciation hit who knows. Why the "Ran Away" sentiment?
