Recent service included replacement of differential transmission oil and internal cabin filters.

 

Brake fluid and coolant replacement by local garage in January 2023 and new battery October 2023.

 

The car was detailed and ceramic coated in October 2023.

 

One of rear parking sensors is possibly faulty as constantly picks up potential hazards when engaged.

 

Rotating dash screen does not work but car came with a Bluetooth device to connect your phone for music and Google maps sat nav which is far better than the built-in system, which is somewhat dated.

 

Heat cracks in lacquer to piano black top dash panel (see photos), so you may want to consider getting it refurbished or possibly carbon dipping.

 

Unfortunately the car was registered as a Cat D (lowest category – no structural damage but insurance company deemed uneconomic to repair) in 2013 which is reflected in the low price as a 2012 non-registered 'Carbon Black Edition' car will be worth around £45k.  I do not have any photos or details of what occurred but it potentially involved the drivers door as it has a different key.  The car has been MOT’d and serviced with no indication of any damage or ongoing issues associated with the incident for the past 10 years.  When I bought the car it was looked over by an official Aston Martin dealer and they could not find any evidence of significant impact or damage to the car, so the expectation is that the damage was relatively superficial.  Please don't be put off by this as it was over 10 years ago now with no ongoing issues and still makes the same awesome V12 sound, so just view it that you are getting what should be a very expensive car for much less money.

 

The car is obviously not new so it will not be perfect and you should therefore expect there will be minor marks, imperfections, scratches and the like commensurate with its age. 

 

Currently on private plate and will revert to original 2012(12) registration (as shown in photos).

Some videos of the car are available upon request.

Car is located in Bognor Regis, West Sussex - PO22
