Guys, I have owned my 2010 AMV8 6sp for 5yrs now. This is when Ford owned Aston. Believe it or not, maintenance is quite normal compared to any M3, AMG, etc. The common really expensive problems is the shitty clutch (mine went at 20k kms) and the expensive pads and rotors $3K. I have put over 20K kms on my car and it has been super reliable. Set aside $5-10K (depends if you want to upgrade the clutch to the V12) and you are good to go. I would try to save up and get a 2009 or newer with the 4.7L. Makes a big difference. Also, don't buy an auto, they are complete shit.

The AMV8 doesn't handle the best, is not that fastest, but every time I take it out, it feels really special, it just makes you feel really kool driving it......way more than I do in my R8 or 991.....my two cents......oh yeah I forgot....they are drop dead gorgeous......
