2008 Aston Martin Vantage V8

Description

This 2008 Aston Martin V8 Vantage has been a classic from day one. After all, with unbeatable color combo, the perfect mix of luxury & performance, and a smooth V8 under the hood, this is truly the best of Britain.

Power, beauty, soul – it's the mantra of Aston Martin, and this coupe embodies all of it. There has always been an aggressive elegance about an Aston Martin, even before James Bond drove one on screen. The V8 Vantage has shown a sleekness that is still echoed in today's cars. That's why it's already a classic. With this in mind, it's great to see a car like this one that has averaged less than 1,400 miles annually... and it certainly looks the part. The headlight covers recall some of the best classic racers and remain crystal clear today. The 19-inch factory alloys have a great shine, and they are open enough so everyone gets a clear view of the large race-worthy brakes with red calipers. The factory took care when applying the Midnight Blue paint, sunlight loves to dance across the swept-back lines of this coupe.

Even the doors on the Vantage are part of its charm. They don't just swing out like standard door, and the Lamborghini-style scissors would be too uncouth for a dignified machine. So you get this elegant "swan" motion that arches upward for easier accessibility and a cool showing of class. Once inside, you realize that grand touring comfort means absolute luxury for two people. The supple cashmere tan leather looks fantastic, and it's a great color combo against the deep blue exterior. Plus, the hint of wood on the center console reminds you of British craftsmanship. And of course, like a true Aston, there's a ton of luxury features, including automatic climate control, power windows, keyless entry, power locks, power mirrors, dual airbags, side airbags, heated seats, power steering, a premium AM/FM/CD stereo w/lifetime Sirius subscription, cruise control, and navigation screen that raises from the top of the dash. The bucket seats have been engineered so that you and your passenger can find the individual ideal balance of performance bolstering and all-day comfort. When you push the start button, see the gauges dance, and hear the motor roar to life, your senses know this is far more than just a luxury machine.

The original V8 is part of the craftsman build, and because this has spent its life so far as a cherished toy, everything under the hood still looks fresh. But don't let this ultra clean presentation keep you from adding miles to the odometer. After all, this coupe is a true driver's machine. The fuel-injected 4.3-liter V8 sings a 380 hp symphony. You control it all through Aston's Sportshift six-speed that has F1-style paddle-activated electronically-operated shifts. There's even a fully automatic more for grand touring comfort. As you look at the undercarriage photos, you'll see nothing but flat panels for better aerodynamics – another race-inspired piece that proves how serious a performance machine this is. You'll also spot all the right features, like the fully independent sports suspension, grippy low profile tires, and four-wheel disc brakes.

Complete with the original warranty card and owner's manual, this is a very well-presented low-mileage rarity. Don't miss your opportunity, call today!
