Aston Martin Vantage avoids price gouging

Just_me · 08-19-2006, 05:57 PM

Generally, buyers of high-demand sports cars fall victim price gouging — especially in the car's first year or two of availability. But it turns out the the Aston Martin Vantage will be largely available to price-conceious buyers — at least in the automaker's homeland of Britain. When the Aston Martin Vantage debuted, a number of wealthy Brits decided to buy the cars at near sticker price in hopes of making a quick resale months later when availability shrank. But the used car market is now being flooded with so many Vantages that the cars are selling from just below £80,000 to around £90,000 for those with all the options — right around the MSRP. The anticipated potential profits have been slashed by a cut in the waiting time for a new car, explains the U.K.'s Channel 4. The Leftlane Perspective: Score one for the frugal car enthusiast.
