When did these get so cheap? This thing stickered for over $200k new, and can now be yours for the price of a 7-series with a short wheelbase and a six cylinder. It looks brand new, and the pre-facelift Rapide is the most beautiful contemporary four door I can think of. This particular example is low-mileage, and look at that interior-exterior color combo. Not only is it Jalop heaven, it’s classy as hell. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

imo best sounding Aston you can buy right now. Plus, technically, the fastest (top speed). As long as it’s a later year model. The first couple years of Rapides were fidgety here.

It’s the third year for them, so I have no idea. You’re the tech, you tell me ;)

Don’t off-road it, don’t drive in high water. No sweet jumps :]

These should be fine if you have the cash to do all the upkeep to them properly .

That’s the nice thing here. If you’re buying a used $30,000 V10 M5 as an alternative to a new Accord, you may or may not be able to afford to maintain it. If you’re buying this Rapide as an alternative to a new S-Class (especially since this is at least six grand cheaper) I would hope you could still afford to maintain it.

So you need a hammer and beer to fix them?

There was a couple e60 M5's here in town for $19,999 at one time at 2 different used car lots. Oh the horror that poor poor owner WILL endure :’(

That is beautiful, especially the interior! I found a nice blue Aston convertible online a while back in the $30K range with fairly low mileage. I had actual difficulty not bidding on it, despite the fact that I was not planning to buy a car. It’s astonishing how affordable these things are.
