Tavarish mentioned how you can get an !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! for under 40K. I thought it would be worthwhile to suggest an alternative you could also get for under 40K with a lot more horsepower.

this is also true.
but lets be real here. someone who is shopping for a Aston is NOT, w/e you say, going to be looking at a mustang.
and frankly, for as much as I drive, the aston would be great for me. I even liked those wheels it had (yea yea, so sue me)

Never forget why rare british exotics depreciate as quickly as they do. That first $40k you spend on it will not be your last.

I would love to hear the story from the person who chose a Mustang over a Vantage or vise versa. Cries of somebody who doesn’t know what they want unless it’s RWD V8 but even then there is more to cars then power trains.

Or you can buy a true American supercar that is faster, will out-handle, will actually appreciate in value, will be far more reliable, and will get more attention than the British unreliability monster...

lol and that makes it more reliable?
still you have a problem and you have to find a aston dealer and with 80k miles im sure it needs some parts that are starting to wear

reliability and way less miles. That aston with that many miles depreciated for a reason. its about time to put a bunch of money into it.

I liked the wheels as well. And most probably would not cross shop the two. But if I had 40k to burn you can be certain I would be cross shopping them.

Overused stereotype is overused. James Bond would never be seen is such a plebeian Aston

I can’t argue with that. Although I would take a convertible or a second generation before the GTS

The GTS (92-02) is the second generation. 92-95 is Gen I, 96-02 is Gen II, 03-06 is Gen III...

Gen III then. I always figured the GTS was more of a facelift then a generational change

No brainer there. IMO. The Aston.

Suspension is completely different, engine is significantly different, interior is completely different, exterior panels are something like 90% different. They may look similar, but they really are different cars.
The exception being the 96 RT/10. That one is kind of a bastardized oddball, often referred to as the Gen 1.5.

Much in the same way he wouldn’t be seen dead in a 4cyl BMW Z3 or a 750iL? Or trade his Walther PPK for a much superior handgun?
Oh wait.

The Aston is more my style, but the comparative ease of maintaining the Mustang makes me favor it.

So I’ve said this before — I love Mustangs and have owned five over the years. But this is a no-brainer choice: Aston!
