Yeah, a starter house. Aren't those babies going for around $250k?

AMV8 is ~150k from Grand Touring Automobiles in downtown T.O., and about 120k in the US. I'd import a one year used model w/ low miles from the US as they're admissible according to RIV. Savings are huge in this case.

Astons are the sexiest cars on the road. But if you look into em, they are a total P.O.S. in terms of reliability. Looks nice on the road, IF you can keep it on the road.
EDIT: Hugh Grant was on Tops Gear talking about his, and his was in the shop more than it was on the road.

^Those days are pretty much behind Aston. The dude next door has put over 12K on his AMV8 and it's been flawless. The V-12 Vanquish and some of the DB9 F1 gearboxes were incredibly problematic, but they have come a long way since those days. The problems that do arise seem to be mostly related to the F1 transmission cars. The manual ones are pretty robust.
