Ask Honest John
Buying an Aston - which model is best?
You need deep pockets to run an Aston Martin. Very high maintenance. A friend ran Peter Crouch's old DB9 as his daily runner for a few years. But I'd get a Jaguar XF instead, or even an XK if buying 2nd hand. My favourite XK was the 5.0 V8 roadster, not the XKR. If you go for an XF, remember there is hardly any luggage space in the roadster.

Should I buy a cheaper Aston Martin from a non-franchised dealer?
Use the fact that one car is £37,000 to negotiate the car at the Aston dealer down as much as possible. If he is keen to make a sale, he will first of all investigate the history of the cheaper car from central Aston Martin records and might find out it has been crashed or something. If not, he should be prepared to deal. If he won't deal, at least you should have some more information about the cheaper car that you would not otherwise have got. On the other hand, if he has the funds, the dealer might snatch the £37,000 car from the vendor, then re-offer it at £45,000. The best guys to tell you what it is really worth are father and son dealers Tom Hartley.

Where can our son learn to drive his Aston Martin Vantage company car safely?
He will be able to get professional road and track instruction at any racetrack, so the best thing to do is make enquiries at the track most convenient to him. Porsche has its own small track, skidpan and 'ice hill' at Silverstone. His nearest circuit is Goodwood. Mercedes-Benz has a selection of tracks and some very good, very calm instructors at the MB Driving Academy at MB World. He's going to be paying eyewatering BIK tax on that Aston Martin.
