Aston Martin Listings Highlight Rare Manuals, Depreciation

A rare 2017 Aston Martin V12 Vantage S with a seven-speed dog-leg manual, AMR Performance Pack and believed-unique Yellow Tang paint is listed at $170,000, with an estimated fair value of $200,000 to $290,000 because only about 100 manual U.S. cars were built. A 2021 Vantage with the same rare manual transmission, 7,300 miles, one-owner history and warranty coverage is bidding at $99,007 and is estimated to sell for roughly $110,000 to $145,000. A 2024 DB12 with 4,000 miles is offered at $151,000, but disclosed bumper repairs and auction pricing below retail suggest a likely value of $180,000 to $210,000, pending inspection and paint-depth checks. Separately, the 2026 DB12 S raises output to 690 horsepower and delivers a sharper, quicker character than the standard DB12, reaching 60 mph in 3.3 seconds while remaining more comfortable than Aston Martin’s harder-edged Vanquish. Together, the listings underscore strong collector interest in rare manual Aston Martins, while newer automatic models are depreciating more heavily despite significant performance and luxury upgrades.
