I just don't see it. I file them in the same category as the Cyber Trucks. Yep. I said it.

The problem is, you can sell an Aston. A Maserati, you can't give away....

Anything can be sold. All depends on how much of a loss one is willing to take. Maserati may be one of the very few brands out there that get hit harder than Aston does with depreciation.

There's a longtime BARFer here that knows AM's well. I'd talk to him first about true ownership costs.

True words! I did a clutch job in a vantage that had 19k miles on it, and the dealer was surprised it got that many miles out of the SMG gearbox.
My shop was doing that clutch job because the dealer wanted over $7000 to do it!
 
Came across this series on Prime last night; taking one car through the build process.

Watched Bentley and half way through Aston Martin.

Maybe they'll do a car I would actually buy at some point, we'll see.

Very cool nonetheless for car nerds.

Gonna have to check that out. I’ve had to do a virtual factory tour of Crewe for training. Would like to see how whatever they filmed compares to what Bentley showed me.

It was very impressive on film for sure.

They followed Aston with Maserati which didn't seem as buttoned up and now "one of a kind" Morgan which is very cool in its odd British throwback way.

Do they show the VW parts bin?

I got this and yeah, service is $$$. It has 20K miles on it so I thought it wouldn’t need much. A key is a fuckin grand.
I still love it. Road trips to Lake Powell to visit friends are fun. It goes 150 effortlessly.

Edit… Elfin does that

Sounds familiar. At the time, the 2008 M5 I had was supposed to run around the same amount for a clutch...and the clutches int he SMG's weren't the best. I sold around 40K of mileage...bought used (like everything), but still took some pain.

Troof...and your second sentence applies the M5. Beautiful car...loaded to the gills. Got about 50% of what I paid used, same depreciation for my mom's next car too, an S550....I'd thought the M5 would hold up better wrt to value, but they collapsed at almost the same rate. Then there's the Gen 3 CTS-V. It's held up great on value....

Nobody likes an E60 :laughing
 
The Paginis looks like it was designed by a yacht designer. Feel nautical in ways.
The Rezvani is sweet looking.

Has this car been shared?? McMurty Speirling. All bidness.

The McMurty's insane. It looks like a cartooned Batmobile.
 
Clarksdale Car Show,
Lots of different stuff, I snapped.
This Mazda, for Barf's cagers, , ,
I snapped the pix, the owner, got excited, blasted me with questions.
I told her about Barf, and our aging bones,
She had the same stories, bikes hurt now, trikes too, topless is as close to motos she can get.
I mentioned a dirt version episode on "Road Kill" of MX 5,
She told of racing dirt with them somewhere in LA.
and, a used one in the local lizard lot, looking for a home,
I need to sit in one, see if I fit.
