Is the Aston Martin V8 Vantage a good investment?
4.7 V8 manual (2009–2017)
The thesis
The 4.7-litre V8 Vantage manual (420 bhp) is the sweet-spot Aston: usable, beautiful, and blessed with one of the best exhaust notes in modern motoring. Manual examples carry a 10–15% premium over Sportshift and are becoming scarce. Still affordable relative to Ferrari, but trending upward as UK buyers realize this is the last na manual Aston V8 GT in volume. The market is recognizing the manual tax; buy now before £80k+ becomes the norm.
