What: 2019 Aston Martin Vantage Color: Q by Aston Martin Zaffre Blue Metallic(metallic UNI; AM6030; Aston Martin) VIN: SCFSMGAW5KGN01180 Mileage: 22,622 miles Price at Time of this Writing: $96,500 CarFax:Link Location: Federal Way, WA Auction listing:West State Motorsport
We’ll be the first to admit it- of all the Tailors featured in our regular rotation, Q by Aston Martin generally isn’t one of them- and that’s a shame. Aston is, after all, a legendary brand that makes a stunning car which also happens to depreciate like a rock. This particular example, finished in the absolutely stunning Zaffre Blue Metallic is just $96,500. Sure it’s 6 years old, sure it’s done 22,622 wonderful miles, but we’re talking M3 money here for something that’s sure to turn more heads than a BMW sedan ever could. With a clean CarFax and the much, much more reliable AMG V8 under hood, and an asking price that wouldn’t begin to touch a Paint to Sample 911 of similar vintage, this Aston is well worth a good hard look.
