Upon careful review, we have found several cars that we are interested in. One of the cars happens to be a 1997 Aston Martin DB7. Its looooks sweet. Its black on black, and drives really nice. Has got a good amount of power, and it has about 60,000 miles on it. Hes the original owner, and has records from the beginning... Hes even got a few reciepts for gasoline! The seller wants to sell for about $36k, as his new Aston was just delivered to the dealer....
So ladies and germs, anyone know anything about these cars? They reliable? Trobuled motors?
Let me know, as we may possible have a new car in the family.
Thx, Justin.

'97's a good year. The first '94'95's{first year of the 6} were built in a new factory,plenty of teething troubles with assembly and yes,{you knew I was gonna say it}electronics.
By '95 the problems were generally ironed out.These cars require more than ordinary maintenance,possibly why there are so many low-mileage examples out there,NOT that there is anything inherently wrong with them but the electronic complications alluded to the newer Mercs,like the 210's apply equally to astons and can be real bugbears.
They do not like lugging at low speed with correspondingly low engine revs,wears the bearings,camlobes and fouls the rings.
For the price you indicate I'm assuming it's the 6 and not the tricky V12
