Default Yep, this is the car that I want! In terms of reliability issues

my expectations will be much lower so I wont be that disappointed. The only drawback to this is that I believe the only local dealer is Kerbeck in Palmyra, NJ. Having to deal with them might be a nightmare so Ill check for another souce.

Default Your dealer won't pick up from your house for service?

Weird. When I had my Aston, they'd pick up my car at my garage, bring it to the dealer enclosed, and bring it back when it was done. Never had to drive to the dealer. Same situation with my Lotus &amp; Lambo dealer, which is two hours away... but they pick it up, then drop it back off.

Check if your dealer offers this service, most high-end dealers here do.

Default This car is in a different league all together.

Knowing the price to be in the region of $250000 and assuming Aston Martin would be willing to hold on to its good reputation, this company should provide you with the best of service and has to be able to deal with issues that may arise.

This is one of those that really should, right? Am I being naive again

Default I would think that MOST manufacturers would want to hold on to a good reputation.

Again, because of my experience with Audi, my expectations have dropped and maybe thats a good thing!!!
