is it worth buying?

Yes and No. There are some problems, I can get more details if you require.

All in all a second hand DB7 is very good value........hang on do you mean second hand??

Band new, have you seen the DB7 GT, I would give my left nut for that car.........although, does not handle the same as a 355, but they are aimed at different types of people.

so the gt is the best one?

TT · 08-19-2003, 03:58 PM

The GT is sure a sweet car IMO!

It's one of the most beautiful cars in the world, but there's a bit of a reliability issue. Very good value if you can find one without too many major problems. It's hand built so things may just fall apart. The electrical system isn't exactly troublefree either.

A new DB7 is fine if you don't care about depreciation, at least you get the warranty so it doesn't break your wallet when it's time for repair.

Still, the DB7 is one fine car, the sound and look alone are well worth the price

The DB7 GT has a bit more power and slightly better handling. Not too sure about the look though, I like the look of the DB7 Vantage more.

Yep, the GT is by far the best one in my eyes.

Some don't like it's styling because it has a more agressive look to it, a stiffer suspension and it has more HP(435 in stead of 420).

You can check everything about the cars on:

But in my oppinion the DB7 isn't such a good buy. Why? Well it doesn't perform so good for the price that their asking. Still, it all depends what you're looking for, if you want class, you can hardly beat an Aston .

here's the normal DB7:

I think the styling of an Aston is very beautiful, however I was hoping it would be more reliable, seems there is the same problem with TVR. Why must such nice looking cars be such poorly made?

1zippo1 · 08-19-2003, 04:08 PM

Here's a Aston that I like, the AMV 8 (still a concept):

And I suppose evo's long termer should have its little pic exposed..

Go on TFU

nearly right Zippo...you mean if you want dull and weight, you can hardly beat an Aston

There's no garantee off course that it will be well made BUT it has a new engine and the whole car is a new concept and not a further developpement of the DB7 (like the GT). So I expect it to be better. Let's hope it will

SkylineGTR34VspecII · 08-19-2003, 04:22 PM

I agree Zippo, I dont think they are very dull Jabba, but heavy, they might be.

Jabba · 08-19-2003, 04:24 PM

park them next to a Ferrari...and you wouldnt even notice it was there....
