The 2007 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Is an Amazing Exotic Car Value

I still remember Doug's Vantage "bumper to bumper warranty"

So many flashbacks with this thumbnail. I was shocked when it said 27 minutes ago instead of 8 years ago like I was expecting, I love how Doug's come full circle.

I feel like were being click-baited by thumbnail showing him OUTSIDE with the car, then to be disappointed he's in his dungeon.

These mid 00s astons aged beautifully , unless you're a car geek you wouldn't believe they are 20 year old cars

Doug is the kind of guy to review the same car multiple times just because this time it's on CARS AND BIDS!

Aston Martins of this era were simply beautiful!

Coincidentally, the first repair bill will also be the cost of a new small crossover.

Throwback Thursday for Doug!!

You know Doug loves a car when he reviews it multiple times. The good old days when Doug used to own this car.

Whoever Doug's video editor is, NEEDS to buy and install the Acon Deverberate 3 plug-in. It will REALLY help the indoor echo. It's cheap and very easy to install. PLEASE get it and use it. Thank you!

Doug: “I’m selling my Aston Martin the day before the warranty expires!” Also Doug: “personally I think it’s much more reliable than most people assume!”

I remember when Doug was reading his angry comments with this car about driving in the snow and it was one of the funniest videos I’ve seen.

Doug is the type of guy to review his own car… from 8 years ago!!! #bumpertobumper

Doug the type of guy to go from being a car reviewer to being a car salesman

I have an 09’ manual 4.7 coupe with 106k miles. It has been my daily driver for 5 years until I got a great EV lease deal 3 weeks ago. It’s now a weekender… for now. it has been the most reliable car I’ve owned and I will never sell it. (Prior cars- 300zx, m coupe, Volvo s60r (has the same mirrors as the vantage actually), e46 m3, m2 competition, 2023 ford bronco. The vantage is incredibly reliable if you take care of it. I do my own oil changes every 3k miles, and it takes less than 45 minutes. The only thing I’ve had fail in the last 5 years of ownership is the auxiliary fan, which was $600… trust me, don’t let the perception of a few that have never owned one, ruin potential ownership. It’s a gorgeous, high quality, and special car. Buy one!

It's amazing how something can look so modern and so classic at the same time.

I've had a 2007 Vantage for almost three years and it's a great all around car. With 200TW tires, it's even fun on the autocross course (video proof on my channel). One thing Doug doesn't mention is that the car is quite DIY friendly. Since purchasing it, I've installed track pads and high temp brake fluid, O2 sensors, a serpentine belt, and an oem Sports Pack suspension kit, all at home with regular tools. Thanks to Ford interchangeability, some of the parts weren't even that expensive. And I "fixed" the infotainment with an Echo Auto and a bluetooth module that streams through the CD Changer port. It was a dream car of mine since it came out, and I can't think of much else I'd rather have for the price

Mick still works for Aston Martin

This brings back old Memories of early Doug Videos! Also i feel the Aston Martin Vantage (or any Aston Martin for that matter) is timeless in Design Yes Aston Martins are often insanely expensive to fix if something breaks even here in Europe, while usually European Car Brands are way cheaper to fix and repair as long as you live in Europe But just like with a BMW M5 V10. it's still worth all the Hassle everytime you drive it. I always considered getting a Vantage V8, and then for a while a V12 (they used to be way cheaper back around 2013-2014) should have gone for it back then Prost & Cheers from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps

Never get tired of Doug's explanation of a fly away parking brake
