There's an Aston Martin V8 Vantage for sale in Ohio.  33k miles, asking $36k for it.  It's crazy how much these have depreciated.

Buy it.

I thought they were relatively reliable.  Then I watched DeMuro's Vantage wrap up of how much it all costed him.  No thanks.  Talking over $6500 for a year of ownership.

Even the dealership is trying to hide that it's an automatic.  That's how embarrassing that is.

:lol:

That dealership has a lot of good deals right now, since there's construction right in front of their lot and they lost 20-30 parking spots and people can't see what's left on the lot anyway. Too bad most of the selection is almost good, but not quite. Too many automatics and wrong trim levels.

That Miata is way over priced. Hard pass.

For a 2009? I haven't seen others that low around here. Utah prices are worse than Ohio prices. Less rust.

Eek kinda high. Sweet car though- I can't hope for an ND any day soon so I'd LOVE an NC.

2009 cars with 70k miles that aren't econoboxes are usually $12-13k here.

Yeah, I forget the market difference. There are apparently people who ship older cars from the south up here and sell them for profit, because they all rust out up in NY.

Yup.  That's a big selling point around here for used vehicles.  People go nuts for anything rust-free.  My truck was rust free when I bought it as it had its frame and most components replaced...it was like "shit, I better buy this thing NOW before somebody else does" because that's hard to find.

more than 2hrs from here or I'd go look at a throwaway Miata...

EDIT:

UHOH it's only 1.5hrs away....    :hmm:

EDIT:

Need to talk myself out of looking at cars, might deploy next year and can't let an extra car sit 9 months unused. Sigh.

Only 2 car garage, must maintain family vehicle over fun toy. Wife and I are already planning that if I definitely don't deploy we can get a cheap fun car spring 2018, if I do deploy, might move in early 2019 so fun car after that.

Eh that seems reasonable since  miles are low and it's  a desirable configuration  (IMO).

I guess it's not too bad, yeah.  I mean...I'd probably pay that for it. :lol:

Hmm. That could be awesome or terrifying.
