Aston owner here. It's an INCREDIBLY durable car. But every time I do need to bring it into the shop for anything, it's $5,000. No matter how small or seemingly minor, by the time they get done with it, it's five grand. The upside, of course, is that it doesn't need anything more than basic fluid service very often. But when it needs anything more than fluids -- five grand.

@Fabulousprofound168 2 ай бұрын

What kind of issues have you experienced?

@Dr.TJ_Eckleburg 2 ай бұрын

@@Fabulousprofound168 I drive my car frequently and I've had it for about five years now. Other than standard service, in that time I've had to do a rear wheel bearing, a boot latch mechanism, door lifts, a control stalk (brights weren't switching off), and an alternator. Pretty normal stuff, but specialty labor is expensive and so are parts. It's not that each of these things costs $5k individually, it's that when I bring it in, I do a couple of things at a time and it adds up. This is because the shop usually keeps the car for about a month, so I don't bring it in for every small thing as soon as I notice it. I set an appointment and then have them do everything it needs at once. Within the next two years I'm expecting to have to do my clutch, which will be a $5k job alone, and brake rotors, which will likely be another $4k.

@rahulsudhir666 2 ай бұрын

Do you own a DB9/DBS or a modern Aston? Just curious. My friend had a really tough time with his 2016 V12 Vanquish every time there was an issue cos the service centre barely had parts stocked. Sometimes the car was down for weeks on end even if it goes in for a minor service. Another issue was the high shipping costs n the delays from Aston HQ. The import duty + road tax here in India is about 150% n so havin the car down even after spending a bomb on it kinda left him with a bad taste in his mouth. Its in a beautiful yellow shade n has a few _Q_ options on it too. He absolutely loved the car but the down time meant it was being driven lesser. In the midst of it, he had picked up a 991.2 911 GT3 around 2020 n that became his car of choice n the Aston has now been put up for sale with a mere 27k km done. The GT3 has clocked more than 45k km in half the time.

@Dr.TJ_Eckleburg 2 ай бұрын

@@rahulsudhir666 Yeah, I imagine that owning one of these cars in India is a lot more difficult/expensive than here (I'm in New York). The Vanquish is my favorite car Aston has ever made, so it's a shame he can't fully enjoy it. There are definitely sacrifices though, and Porsche is just a much bigger company with much higher production numbers and a huge global supply chain. Aston is still a relatively tiny bespoke firm -- Porsche builds more 911s in one year than Aston has ever built of the Vanquish and DBS combined. So naturally it's going to be more difficult to get specialty parts. I just have the understanding that if I bring my car in for anything other than basic service, it's going to be gone for a month. I don't have to pay any kind of road tax or import duties though, so I don't see it as potentially wasting money having it in the shop like that. I'd probably feel differently otherwise.

The company I work for used to share the same business park in Kineton as McGurk. I was chatting to John McGurk about the Jaguar XJ220s they had in there, and how they were my dream cars. He said to let him know when I'm free and he'd take me for a drive. 7 or 8 years later and I still regret not taking him up on that offer - I'll probably never get the opportunity ever again! He had an absolutely beautiful Ferrari F40 too - stunning!

£12k for a diff? At that point why wouldn't you just order an aftermarket one or one for something else and pay to have it mounted? Quite a few of the prices are ott on that quote too. For instance making the seat move doesn't need a complete replacement and if you don't want to leave it in the rain you need neither the rear window or roll bar replacing. That thing could be on the road under £5k pretty easily.
