Perforated Leather - £2,140
Massage Seats (front & rear) - £3,000
Rear Seat Package (2 rear seats with the centre console) - £7,360
Exclusive Leather Pack - £21,320
Exclusive Inlays - £1,840
Exclusive Headlining - £5,310

Gives you a mere £169,835 on the road!

And I'm not sure if some of the other 'exclusive' options were in the pack I picked, otherwise there could be about another 20k of stuff could go on!

Do I want one? Hell Yeah!

do I want one? I'm sure it's delightful but it's a 169 GRAND!?! (eep!) Lets review 169K of "car". I admit these are the car with no options added (unlike a mear 94K with option central to bump it up) but......... Lambo Gallardo 150K and 19 grand change? Audi R8 v10 for 105K and 64 grand back? Aston Martin Rapide 146K and 23k back? Sorry, I'll take the Aston.............4 doors? check, lots of wood and cow? check, presence? check........

1 tiny problem............I need the 169k first

Still if one appears in a few years secondhand i might be tempted!

you have to compare apples with apples though..... how much would your dream Aston be with the extras that you would want? But I do get your point. A hell of a lot of cash for the the car. all be it one hell of a nice car. I think the car should have "company write off" written on it as its just a way for a company director to burn off the extra cash before the end of the financial year!

ok...........Aston Rapide. aluminium. yep. 4 door. yep. bi xenon lamps. yep. V12 (w12). yep. 20" alloys. yep. leather. yep. heated electric memory seats. yep. walnut facia. yep. heated front and rear screen. yep. front and rear climate. yep. cruise. yep. folding/autodip mirrors. yep. front and rear parking sensors. yep. tracking device. yep. sat nav. yep. 1000w B and O setreo. yep. tyre pressure monitors. yep. Infact the only thing i can see on the option list is the perforated leather. I doubt aston charge 23K for that. They seem very closely matched with the exception of length. appley enough to stop me dropping 169K of my own on the A8......thats all standard equipment!!!!! i do love trawling manufacturers specs

I'd say its... well THIRTY THOUSAND POUNDS. That's a grand less than my house cost Ok twas 1980.
Or its more than my D3 cost.

Two peeps could travel the world. The WHOLE world. For a year. And have experiences that will shape the rest of their lives. Plus enough mahoolas to buy a decent motor when they return.
Thinking about it they've already got a base W12. so it's spare change.
I hope the W12 is in white, to go with their teeth when they are grinning through their tans

Heated Windscren - £410

That's very reasonable, even cheap D2 heated windscreen costs around £1000 if I remember correctly vs £300 regular one, then all the gear to actually drive .
