You may remember him from Jalopnik.

The warranty sounded cool but warranty or not this is too expensive to be interesting.

First foible.

[kevm14]

Even with the warranty you'd have to really be into the car's looks and interior. I think this has the same performance envelope as a 1997 C5.

Also this car is a terrible buy. I am sure that warranty is not transferrable so he'll take a bath on it one way or the other.

Its not the unlimited mileage, its the days of ownership. That's where they get you.

Priceless.

This video series will be interesting precisely because it is too expensive. Remember those 750s with $25K in receipts? I'm pretty sure that's how this will play out.

Fun fact: there are only 36 Aston dealers across the US. Road trips will be...interesting.

LOL. This will be fun to watch it play out.

Hooray! The transferrable warranty is subject to terms AND conditions. Those are my favorite things.

Warranty already paid for itself.

4 grand to fix a bad variable cam phaser.

Maybe I should one up Doug at his own game. Check this out: http://charlotte.craigslist.org/cto/5467744618.html I had no idea these were so cheap now.
