2009 C63 AMG
FS: 2009 Mars Red w/ Sahara Beige & Black Maple, + MODS

Decided I wanted something new without 4 doors, so I bought an Aston Martin Vantage.

Pictures attached. 42,200 miles. Mars Red w/ Sahara Beige and Black Maple trim. $6k in custom wheels/tires. $10k+ in engine mods (headers, ECU tune, aftermarket air filters, secondary CAT’s removed, custom H-pipe). Aftermarket Garmin NAV. No accidents. Never even have turned off the traction control and spun a tire.

$45k. I’m not in hurry, nor do I even need to sell it, so I’m not desperate.

Thanks,

James

GLWS

But I have one question - why invest in go-fast mods if you have never turned off the ESP? Or "spun the tire" ? Doesn't make sense to me.

Sorry, a little off topic but the headlights look "shiny". Don't the C63's headlights have black around the inside? I'll have to check mine tonight. Have these been replaced? Maybe they just pop on the red.

OK, Didn't realize that was the Xenon difference, thought the dark lights were C63 specific.

Ugh good luck selling the car in that state. Try ditching the ghetto rims and put the stock ones back on.

Never been for sale before.

I expected a lot of criticism about the wheels. The make-everything-matte/I-hate-chrome crowd hates the look, yet I get tons of complements, primarily on the wheels all the time.

Regarding ESP off, maybe it doesn't make sense to you, but given how expensive the tires are, I wanted to accelerate 0-60ish as fast as possible, but not go through tires any faster than you do without spinning tires.

You might have been expecting criticism but you really shouldn't be getting any. To each his own. This is a For Sale post. Your not asking for anyones opinion about the car. Questions about the car or helpful comments to move the sale along are reasonable and probably welcome but if you just want to post your opinion about the car in a negative way, you probably should keep your comments to yourself.
