This was a Dream Sports Car.
This car was a real head turner. It went to many car shows and because of its limited production it always had a lot of interest. A joy to drive, 12 cylinders of pure acceleration, but it drove just as beautifully at cruise speeds as it did on the highway. I will continue to enjoy this car as an Aston fan for life.

Excellent bang for the buck
Very good value if you are ready for a few highly priced maintenance items. Mine at 36,000 miles needed $3,000 spent on 12 new coil packs and 12 new plugs and associated seals and gaskets. All the V12 Vantage engines need this at this mileage. Be wary of it. It's expensive and the engine misses and puts on a check engine light if you do not do it. Performance is fantastic, looks are great although a bit like a Jaguar XK8. The interior is a bit basic and the finish is not as good as you would think it should be for a car that was $140,000 when new.

The least expensive James Bond car
Of all the Aston Martin DB series cars, this is the least expensive to purchase and, per Hagerty's weekly review, is likely to appreciate. Amazingly, it looks just like all the Astons that superceed it. The car can't be beaten for looks, reliability, comfort, the sheer thrill of the ride and, last but by no means least, the looks of envy you get from all you overtake. Please remember, the low, low mileage, previous celebrity ownership and having just been inspected and serviced by the local Aston martin dealership.

British Classic with V12 Performance
DB7 appears to be a one of a kind Grand Touring Vehicle. It has the classic look of a British Gentleman with a Wildman heart of a V12 engine. This car is hand built in British with full leather wrap interior. Racing Green is the signature color of an Aston Martin. Compared to the other supercars, Aston Martin does not have a very aggressive look. Perfect for someone who enjoys low profile life style with combination of luxury, comfortable and performance.

2003 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage
Is an amazing car! ts 6.0L 420 horsepower V12 really kicks butt! But economy is horrible at just 11 mpg in the city and 17 on the highway, on premium fuel. Fillups are really expensive, especially considering today's gas prices, much more expenisive then they were back in 2003. Ouch. But this car is extremely agile around corners, with perfect steering, lots of grip, and wonderful shifting from the 5 speed automatic manual trans! The exterior styling is super sexy and beautiful! Interior is lavish, with loads of comfortable leather and wood, and seemless built quality! The best car Ihave ever driven is this DB7! Really wish they didn't discontinue them after 2003.
