Yeah that's amazing. I assume this is in the "if you have to ask you can't afford it pal" price range.
Silver 5-speed one with similar if not worse history is $219k OBO. :waxer:

Classic cars have had somewhat of a pyramid scheme appreciation same with most other commodities as of late.
Ppl buy em and re-sell making a pretty insane profit... therefore attracting more ppl to buy and resell. It is all fun and games until someone won't make money on sale... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand we're back in a recession.

Also a beauty but yeah, I think I'd rather just spend less on a Ferrari 550 though... :triggered:

These Astons are sort of "Elanors" for the Monte Carlo crowd.

Just checked Hagerdy.

A "Concourse" condition aston was 75k in 2006 and is 314k in 2018. It jumped 100k from 2016 to 2018. :fullretard:

Pretty much a :unicorn: at this point

Also I find it quite funny how the “indestructible” 4.slow is rebuilt in half the ads, yet the same owners claim they go 300-400k miles.

That 4.0 is not as reliable as everyone makes it out to be. I might have to say that it is one of the most overrated engines ever made

Screw that old Aston, if I have "Buy a car that costs more than a house" money I'm going with this goofy thing and running RallyX in it:

That interior might actually be worse than a Fox body Mustang's. That's no small feat. :impressive:

Has a scoop and has a huge wing. I'd drive it.

No, a NICE house is $300k. A decent house can be had for under $200k. And how about the pay area?

Why buy a used one? It's even possible to get more off this being a 2017. Tempted to see how close to $40k I could get it...

Uh, my sister's house in the area was barely over $100k. This car finished bidding at $210k with reserve not met.

I like this color. Understated, but with neon waxables. Would be 5/7 if it lost the wang.

Same color as my dads outback. Not bad. Would not buy a $45k STI.
