V8V basic questions (looking to buy)

Ricchere are answers to some of your questions, although michael's are probably more accurate. -What are the buttons on the centre consoleThe buttons on the centre console by the gear leaver vary according to the options specified, but are for the less commonly used functions and include up to 5 buttons in front of the gear leaver for rear high intensity lights, turning off traction control, hazard warning lights, air recirculation, a/cand up to 4 buttons behind the gear lever for heated rear screen, turning off the rear parking sensors, disabling the passenger airbag (with the isofix option) - What is the option that determines the seat stitching down the center of the seats?Aston Martin have released enhancements to the Vantage V8 from it's launch, roughly every 6 months. The seat design was changed to the revised seat design as part of the August 2006 changes, and modified the stiching to reduce creasing of the leather.- For a 2006 car, is it best to stick to the main dealer network?probably comes down to your opinion on risk. AM Dealer cars will have a higher standard of recourse should anything go wrong, and obviously completing a financial transaction for a high value item will come with greater peace of mind through the dealer network. There are a number of reputable specialists who will also offer high standards. These levels of service come at a price, and that is part of what you are paying for in the higher cost of the vehicles. If you go privately, you should always have it inspected. When getting the Aston Martin extended warranty, the car will require an Aston Martin inspection, at about £250, before the warranty is offered. This is a useful point to consider if the car you are viewing has had a new extended warranty applied. - Is the AM warranty offered through their approved scheme any good?best to get some replies from people who have had to claim. Like any insurance, you only really know how good it is when you need it most.- Why are all the cars grey or black?Probably because lots of people like them. Mine's black and I love it. Having said that I really like the look of WantanewV12V's Magma Red. That looks absolutely stunning
