#111 of 120 Re: 2006 vs 2007 [vhalaniel_6] by spingirl3 Jul 22, 2008 (9:20 pm)
Replying to: vhalaniel_6 (Jul 22, 2008 9:49 am) that's what I figured but I still didn't feel as comfortable as I wanted to be so I bought a new Carrera S over the weekend -- yes, its more common and certainly not the exotic beauty the AM is but I have the performance AND the warranty I want, plus the dealer is hours closer. I'll still check in and maybe some day, I can buy a new AM....
#112 of 120 To buy or not to buy AMV8? by dhsieh9 Oct 28, 2008 (2:24 pm)
I current own a Porsche and I found plenty shops that specialize in servicing them. Given that convenience and choice, it makes me have 2nd thought of owning an AMV8 even though AM offers more exclusivity and arguably better styling than Porsche. This is not to mention all those troubles & frustration reported from current AMV8 owners I read in this forum. That said, I am still salivating whenever I see a AMV8 from the dealer showroom. Should I just stop thinking of owning an AM completely or am I dreaming that AM can be like a Porsche? Replies to this message: spingirl3 (Oct 28, 2008 7:34 pm)

Replying to: dhsieh9 (Oct 28, 2008 2:24 pm) well, a consolation: one of the great advantages of owning a Porsche is the club and taking advantage of the DE events --not sure if A-M has something similar but if they did, I'm still not sure I'd chance taking it on the track anyway--still the A-M is an incredibly beautiful car and thankfully living in a smaller city, I don't get reminded of what I've missed out on.
#114 of 120 Why so cheap?? by o2bnf1 Nov 06, 2008 (9:40 pm)
I am seeing low mileage 2006 V8 Vantage at astonishingly low prices. Can this be real? $75000? Is it the economy? Will they keep dropping or go back up? Is this my only chance to obtain my dream car? Please advise! Replies to this message: spingirl3 (Nov 07, 2008 8:31 pm)

Replying to: o2bnf1 (Nov 06, 2008 9:40 pm) what is low mileage? 3000, 5000 miles? That is surprising as the one I was looking at up in Phoenix was $89K and the dealer not very flexible in price, even with the trade he would be making additional money on. I assume you already have CarFax done on it? I'll be curious to hear the replies to your question.
#117 of 120 2008 AM Vantage vs. Audi R8 resale values by dhsieh9 Apr 09, 2009 (3:43 pm)
I wrote in this forum before about my interest in owning an AM Vantage. I recently did a price comparison between pre-owned 08' Vantage and 08' Audi R8. To my surprise, the R8 is holding much better resale value than the Vantage by about $30k given that their new car prices are about the same (in the range of $120k). A 08' Vantage with low mileages can be had for about $85K but a 08' R8 commands over $110K. Am I wrong about the exclusivity and desirability of AM? In my personal opinion, I think that AM has one of most appealing style matching that of Ferrari. However, does its less-than-R8 resale value say anything about its performance and racing credential?

Replying to: dhsieh9 (Apr 09, 2009 3:43 pm) The R8 is relatively new, and has emerged as a credible alternative to various high performance cars. The high resale value may reflect it's relative rarity and it's exotic design. The A-M V8 has been around longer and is of a more conventional design.
#119 of 120 2010 Jaguar XKR vs AM Vantage by dhsieh9 Nov 12, 2009 (3:40 pm)
The 2010 Jaguar XKR has a new super-charged 510 HP engine and is priced at around $100k. The 2010 AM Vantage has only 420HP but commands $120k. I wonder if AM is loosing the touch when it comes to high performance. Granted, AM looks a little more exclusive and sexier. But is it worth iwhen you can have a better performing XKR for less than $20k? Replies to this message: praskind (Nov 25, 2009 4:25 pm)
