Aston Martin’s DB7 Vantage was introduced in 1999, at the Geneva Motor Show, to bring a more aggressive and powerful DB7 to the market. The British luxury automaker was a part of Ford, which was the owner of Jaguar as well. So cross-pollination between the DB7 and the XK8 was seen, but unlike the Vantage, the Jag had a V-8 under the hood. In addition, the Vantage introduced a more robust 5.9-liter V-12, a sportier exterior aesthetics, and the suspension was firmed up to enhance the driving dynamics. And when all of these are taken into account after two decades, the price of this magnificent British coupe has come down and is the same as a brand-new Chevy Spark. So an example of the DB7 Vantage is being auctioned as we are writing, and it might be an amazing deal.

This example of the DB7 Vantage is a 2000 model and is registered in Florida with a clean title. The exterior was painted silver from the factory and protected by ceramic coating in August 2015. The Vantage distinguishes itself from the standard DB7 with foglights in the front and a larger intake grille. Other notable exterior highlights include power-adjustable mirrors, fender vents on both sides, and dual exhaust tips, which are aftermarket fitments from Larini Systems. A set of 10-spoke silver-finished 19-inch wheels come as standard from the factory. They are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sport rubbers from 2016. The brake calipers have the Aston Martin branding and have reasonably big cross-drilled rotors. A service was last recorded in May 2021, which involved the replacement of the front brake pads, sensors, and rotors.

The heart of the DB7 Vantage is a 5.9-liter naturally aspirated V-12 engine, which pumps out 420 horses and 400 pound-feet of torque. It is a rear-wheel-drive car with a five-speed manual gearbox. The aftermarket exhausts come fitted with the DB7 Vantage, but the seller has confirmed that the stock exhaust system is included with the whole package. Watch the flyby video below to understand how beautiful the V-12 sings. However, Carfax reports no accidents, but mileage inconsistencies were reported in 2015. The current odometer reading suggests that the Aston has been driven for 13,000 miles, to which the current owner added about 10,000 miles.

The DB7 Vantage is a four-seater two-door coupe, so the rear is quite cramped and best suited for children. The front row has beautiful leather seats with a two-tone finish (Charcoal and Mid Grey). The dashboard, center console, and door panels have a matching leather trim. In addition, the dashboard and center console have burl wood trim, further elevating the luxury. Other notable cabin features include automatic climate control, push-button ignition, and an aftermarket Kenwood stereo coupled with an Aston Martin premium audio unit. Behind the driver's seat is a fire extinguisher. A leather-wrapped steering wheel comes fitted as standard, and a Passport SRX radar detector is placed at the top of the column.
