I've always remarked when you can get high-end Euro/Japanese automobiles for cheap (thanks, depreciation!), but just randomly perusing mah favrite berks on used cars, I saw this little gem. I've always been smitten with Aston's, and the '90s DB7 offers a mid-300hp boosted straight six with a stick shift combo...sadly, this one is an automatic.

 

PROS:

007-style for new Kia Optima money

bespoke luxury

Decent reliability

KOTR highway-cruiser

If you can't get tail in DAT ASTON, please drop your man card at the nearest return bawkxz.

 

CONS:

Pricey to repair

MPG LOL

Autotragic

Denny Dotson EWWWW...

Convertisexual, if you're one of those losers that doesn't like a good drop-top.

 

WOULD YOU?

 

*Yes, I am modeling this thread off of Jalopnik's NPOCP segment. ;)

Looks like a jag. Those eat money too.

 

If you are buying it to give the impression that you "stepped up" you might not be getting there in that car in particular.

 

I also think they probably cost a lot to maintain and fix. But I cannot say for sure.

 

Given the probable cost to maintain and fix....I would take this over the Aston.

Clay needs to drive the Aston, this Maserati, and the newest Alfa Romeo he can find and then report back to us with the Maintenance Nightmare Shootout.

LOL @ your responses, folks.

 

I'm not buying anything. :thumbup: Fact is, when I was backpacking across Italy after graduating from college, my buddies were eyeing the beach talent, and I was remarking at all the neat Euro-rides that we didn't have in the states. :lol: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . no homo...

 

I CAN'T STOP LOOKING

Would not by anything from Denny Dotson...ever.

 

Denny is a crook. I would never buy a car from them.

Wondering why these comments are being made. Not been in the area that long but looked at a vehicle there once. Seemed like nice guys. Anyone care to elaborate?
