Smile 2007 Vantage Roadster

Hello everyone, I made the BIG mistake of driving a 2007 Roadster..WOW I need some advice from the board about this car. It has 3,000 miles on it has the F1 transmission. It is a flawless car. My questions are reliablityf of the car, and realistic clutch life. I would love the car in 6speed stick, but cannot find one one the east coast. The asking price is 85,000 usd. Please help me in my quest.

Thanks

Peter

Peter,

Where on the East coast are you? You should be able to find a 6-speed manual version without the paddles. The life of the clutch will depend greatly on where you live and how you drive. I am in SF and the hills here will chew the clutch of a F1 system as it tries to feather the clutch for smooth driving when going from a stop to 20mph up a hill.

Hi Andrew, thanks for the reply.I am in NY and unfortunatly the car was sold!! I am Bumed out. Looking on the internet, but have not been able to locate one. Interestingly enough the dealer has a 2002 DB7 conv. which he is trying to convince me that I will love it. What are your thoughts? The car has 17,000 mi. with all the service records.

Again thanks for your help
Peter
