2000 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Volante

This DB7 is a V12 Vantage. This V12 Vantage makes roughly 420hp, has a ZF 5HP30 automatic transmission, and weighs just shy of two tons. Visual differences when compared to straight-six DB7 include different side mirrors, large fog lights under the regular headlights, and ‘DB7 Vantage’ badging at the rear.

The exterior to this DB7 is metallic red. The paint is smooth around the whole car, and there are only a few damaged areas to address. There is a small scratch on the front bumper, three small chips in the passenger door, a chip on the trunk in the panel gaps, and several chips in the gap between the hood and the body of the car. Curb rash is visible on the driver’s front wheel and the passenger side rear wheel. The red canvas top has aged appropriately over the last 22 years.

This is one of the loudest interiors we have ever seen over at The Market US. This DB has a two-tone, white and red leather interior. It is unbelievably exciting to sit in. The two-tone front seats are clean, have no holes or tears, and show very little creasing. The footwells in front of each seat are clean, and the carpets in each rest flat in each of their respective positions. The center console is tidy, the leather surrounding it is tight, and the wooden inlays within it are clean. It appears that a previous owner also fitted an aftermarket Alpine stereo for modern convenience. The Alcantara steering wheel has been kept in fantastic shape over the past 22 years, much like the rest of the interior. When the roof is up, the headliner underneath shows no stains and hangs tightly in place. Overall, the interior to this Aston might be a little loud, but it is in fantastic condition.

As we move under the hood, we see the same trends continue. The V12 engine cover looks to be in excellent condition, and while there are some paint chips around the edges of the engine bay, they are not abundant by any means.

The CarFax begins in Dublin, Ohio in March of 2000. In April of 2007, the owner brought the car with them to Kentucky, and then in 2010 the owner brought the car down to Dallas, Texas. Owner #2 purchased the car in 2015 and kept it for roughly a year in Miami Beach, Florida. Owner #3 purchased the car in 2018, and on February 27th, had a salvage title issued on the car. 5 days later, on March 1st, 2018, a damage report was created that suggests damage to the front of the car occurred. One month later, the car was exported to Germany. The previous owner acquired the car in July 2020 and the seller purchased the car in July 2022.

The Aston that saved Aston and ran the highest production numbers for the company in their history at the time. The DB7 was the car that brought the company into the modern world and the car that consolidated the design language for all subsequent models. It’s a beautifully designed and styled car with a huge V12 to boot, a smooth grand tourer and a civilized city car, they’re also priced exceptionally well when considering how much car you’re getting and the market for these has been set for some time.

This example is placed perfectly for the next owner to add value to it by tidying up some of the small blemishes that come from being used as intended. This could be the perfect opportunity to bag an iconic V12 Aston for a bargain price to only add value in years to come. In addition to that, you’d have a car that still turns heads to this day and would take a long road trip in its stride.

Estimated $25,000 - $35,000.
